Magnetic levitation trains are commonplace today. However, the MagLev train developed by the Central Japan Railway Company is quite unique and superior to other trains. With a speed of over 600 km per hour, it has achieved the status of the "fastest train". This train uses superconducting magnets, which is why it is called SC MagLev. Once charged with a carrier current, the superconducting magnets in this train produce a circulating direct current and a strong magnetic field continuously without any loss. Let's try to learn more about this successfully tested railway technology, which is expected to surpass other magnetic levitation technologies by 2027. This same technology is expected to connect New York City to Washington DC in just one hour by 2030.
