Unfortunately, after an accident in 2006 in which 23 people died, all further tests with the Transrapid were stopped.
China is showing us how it's done again: Based on German technology (Hermann Kemper, who worked on electromagnetic levitation technology, began developing the magnetic levitation train in the German Reich in 1922. He was granted Reich patent 643316 for electromagnetic levitation of vehicles on August 14, 1934. Initially, a test train for maximum speeds was discussed; however, this project was not pursued further because of the Second World War), work is underway in China on high-speed trains. The first prototypes are completing test runs. From Munich to Berlin in an hour? That's possible by plane. By car, however, the journey would take around six hours, by train it can be done in four and a half. Unless the train is traveling at 600 kilometers per hour - then you're just as fast as by air. Fast as an airplane, efficient as an express train - this is the niche that China is working in. At the beginning of 2021, a prototype of the "Super Bullet Maglev Train" was presented in the city of Chengdu in southwest China. It is expected to reach a top speed of up to 620 km/h. The train was developed by Southwest Jiaotong University, the rail construction company China Railway Group Limited and the train manufacturer China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC). It is a magnetic levitation train. These are kept in suspension, driven and braked by magnetic forces. The concept goes back to the German engineer Hermann Kemper, who invented the magnetic levitation train - also called "Maglev" - at the beginning of the 20th century.
