Train gang keeps winning. This thing reaches almost the same top speed as the hyperloop but instead of theoretical top speed using stupid vacuum death tubes they're already doing it with a surface maglev.
The American version...
The world’s most powerful magnetic propulsion system just set a speed record, and could help the American military develop ultra high-speed railguns.
lol my favorite part of that is while China and Japan are using magnetic propulsion to make cool as fuck, actually existing trains, the US tried to make battleship railguns, spent a bunch of money, failed, and just said "meh".
I remember seeing a bunch of cool videos that I would have found less cool if I knew at the time it was impossible to fire the prototypes without completely destroying them
Honestly a 50 billion dollar gun you can only fire once before buying a new one is a US military contractors ideal weapon
"I had a guaranteed military sale with ED209! Renovation program! Spare parts for 25 years! Who cares if it worked or not!" :porky-scared:
Actually it is only moving because senior citizens are being forced at gunpoint to push it.
Yoooo I want to implement full on communism in America and bring stuff like this here.
Imagine travelling the country in such a short amount of time, goddamn, that would be amazing. Fuckin sucks that we live in hell.
As many a wiseman have said "America would be so based if it wasn't so cringe".
We Americans have important freedoms like the freedom of which car we are required to own in order to function in society, I can't imagine giving that up to be able to go anywhere extremely quickly and comfortably on cutting edge technology.
“True freedom is stumbling onto the metro drunk at 2am and getting home quickly and safely for free”
listen here bucko, i am an American who is FREE to give most of my paycheck to paying off a car, FREE to pay $100+ every few days in gas, and FREE to sit in traffic for an hour+ a day for my necessary commute to another town for work.
American "freedom" summed up in one image: :epstein:
I was today years old when I found out British “people” write the word sled like they’re about to start vomiting
"I, as an american, am generally unaware of reality outside of america"
Xi learned a little juche and is achieving these speeds by pushing the trains himself.
US chuds are already spending a lot of energy to unsuccessfully overcome drag though.
Is these a difference between an electromagnetic sledge and a maglev train?
The sledge is mostly a test bed it seems, its on a short track to test a bunch of things at high speeds (1000km/h+) like different materials, control systems, presumably also train car designs.
How can I get my steady supply of animal viscera without the vacuum?
