Futuristic mobility at high-speed maglev research center in N China

STORY: Futuristic mobility at high-speed maglev research center in N China SHOOTING TIME: Recent footage DATELINE: June 7, 2024 LENGTH: 00:01:08 LOCATION: DATONG, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the test base 2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief designer at ultra-high-speed maglev test base STORYLINE: At a test base in Yanggao County, north China's Shanxi Province, researchers have been in pursuit of a futuristic means of transportation. The ultra-high-speed maglev train under development here is a new transportation system that adopts magnetic levitation technology and uses low-vacuum tubes to travel at an ultra-high speed. Equipped with technologies from both aerospace and rail travel, this maglev line is aiming for speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour. A group of young engineers embarked on the project in 2021. This January, the maglev line achieved stable levitation with a speed of 150 kilometers per hour on a 1.2-kilometer test line. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief d

China builds first rare earth PML maglev line

STORY: China builds first rare earth PML maglev line DATELINE: Aug. 10, 2022 LENGTH: 00:00:48 LOCATION: NANCHANG, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: various of the rare earth PML maglev line STORYLINE: China on Tuesday completed the construction of the country's first independently-developed trial line using rare earth permanent magnetic levitation (PML) technology. Dubbed "Rainbow," the maglev line that is about 800 meters long was built in Xingguo County, east China's Jiangxi Province. The trial line, jointly developed by the Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, China Railway Liuyuan Group (CRL Group), China Railway Hi-Tech Industry Co., Ltd. and China National Rare Earth Functional Material Innovation Center, can be applied to bear air trains with medium and low speed and volume. With a designed maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, the rail system now can serve a two-carriage maglev train with a carrying capacity of 88 people.
