| Overview |
The Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Tokai) unveiled its Series L0 prototype in Tsuru, west of Tokyo, which levitates above its tracks and moves forward with the help of powerful magnets. The electromagnetic pull lifts the train above the tracks to eliminate friction and, thus, provide a smoother and quieter ride at a faster speed. The state-of-the-art train also features a streamlined nose similar to that of Japan's high-speed bullet trains to reduce wind drag. |
