WUHAN, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) — A Donghu laboratory in central China's Hubei Province on Friday announced a breakthrough in high-speed magnetic levitation (maglev) train technology, as its test line accelerated a 1.1-ton model train to 800 km/h in just 5.3 seconds, marking a major milestone in the research of electromagnetic propulsion technology.
The test was conducted on a 1,000-meter-long track. The train reached peak speed at approximately 600 meters and gradually came to a stop, moving toward the end point over a period of 8 seconds.
According to the lab, this success was achieved thanks to the “electric guidance system of permanent magnet suspension plus electromagnetic propulsion,” which helped overcome issues such as high-speed aerodynamic stability, low-latency wireless communication, and precise control of linear motors.
This is the third time the laboratory has broken the world record for the fastest magnetic levitation train in six months. Previously, it achieved speeds of 650 km/h on June 16 and 700 km/h on July 14, respectively.
The laboratory assured that the 1,000-meter test line will operate as an open platform supporting research and development in the fields of next-generation magnetic levitation transport, aerospace electromagnetic launches, and low-altitude economy projects, providing support for advanced transportation technologies. -0-
