The traditional dream of Chinese philosophers to be able to “run with the wind” became a reality this New Year's Eve day.
The Shanghai Transrapid Maglev Line(首次) test run and the first commercial maglev (magnetic levitation) system in the world was put to use.
The project is a joint effort by China and Germany. It cost 10 billion yuan and took two and a half years to complete.
The maglev train ran smoothly, building up speed to 427 kilometres per hour. It covered a 45-minute journey by car in an easy eight minutes. However, the short trip costs as much as 50 yuan. There are speculations(推测) that within ten years there could be a line from Shanghai to Beijing－1280 kilometres. The journey would only take three hours. The total cost of the maglev would be about US $ 24 billion.
Unlike the current railway system with traditional tracks, the maglev runs on magnetic levitation lines. The powerful electric current enables the fast train to rise above the line and float.
A maglev system can reach speeds of up to 400～500 kilometres per hour, much faster than any normal railway system. The lack of contact between the train and the maglev “tracks” reduces the noise level and the damaging effect on the land of a city.
The maglev system is also energy-efficient. Its energy consumption(消耗) is only about half that of cars and a quarter that of aircraft with the same transport capacity.
The effect of the magnetic force of the maglev system on passengers and nearby areas is minimal since the effect on humans is less than that of most electric household appliance(家用电器).
