Engineering efficient technology to make the best of life, environment & our natural resources. Currently raising public awareness where Maglev use makes sense.

“Op deze manier wordt #China het eerste toekomstland”,

@FrankMenger @maglevboard @Eurorapid @Stichtingfrom @PatCarbin @bazonline Mit einer weniger wichtigen Rolle für das Auto würde es eine noch bessere Idee sein. Perfekte Anwendung für TSB https://t.co/B7OdIoYjFL Kurze Bauzeit, sehr leise, umweltfreundlich und mit sehr niedrigen Betriebskosten auch kostengünstiger wie konventionellen S-Bahn.

Correction: the Transrapid 09 photo proofs progress continued after 2006 . Of course JR Maglev uses more energy, it runs in tunnels and 2 x faster than conventional Shinkansen, but it still beats flying and operational costs! And why not mention the US @NortheastMaglev project??

We find out why China and Japan are winning the #maglev race

Decided to put some of my own music under my Maglev animations, because they were so silent... just like the Transrapid🙃 https://t.co/G6KECyfxYa #transrapid #maglev #train #animation #twinmotion #3Danimation #3dmodeling #TR09 #future #greenmobility #futureofmobility

@MartijnCoenen @McnutEdwin @MachinistStefan Duur? Het is een investering. Een huis is ook duurder dan een tent maar toch aantrekkelijk. En uit de Zuiderzeelijn rapporten bleek Maglev maar 12% meer te kosten dan een hogesnelheidstrein. Geschikt voor onze korte intercityafstanden zonder reizigers voorbij te hoeven flitsen.

@MachinistStefan @LW1245W Duitsland heeft Transrapid ontwikkeld om in te zetten, maar projecten ondervonden veel weerstand. In de UK zelfs vuil spel. De kredietcrisis ontnam ook de laatste klanten in Europa. Toch weet men dat het een zeer goed product is en wacht op betere tijden. https://t.co/vCXbW8vQ1k

It’s like having invented the jet engine, but refusing to fly it because continuing making piston engine propeller planes doesn’t require new investments...

[Kees van W @kees_vw]

Germany developed the worlds first and only successful high-speed Maglev, the Transrapid. China learned the benefits of running it and plans more Maglev lines. Chinese professor says Europe failed to compete. No wonder if Europe is so slow to deploy it. https://t.co/t3qbsMPvzW

Nice speed sensation effect in this animation video!

"It is simpler to prepare for the future if you start by imagining it", aldus Jorgen Randers in zijn boek 2052. Dus doe hier mee wat je wilt :-) #transrapid #maglev #autonomous #3D #3Dmodeling #3Dvisualization #sketchup

A good question about financial aid to airliners was being posed in an @nrc podcast. If KLM receives 4 billion euros in emergency aid, which airliner are you helping: KLM as it always was, or KLM as it will (or could) become?

[Kees van W @kees_vw]

@maglevboard Pity, I remember his enthusiasm! He will be missed. After all those years that Transrapid proved itself a groundbreaking and reliable system, we could use such people like him now to finally start building a line for use by the taxpayers who helped pay for its development...

Great that SCMaglev found a solution to get rid of the gas powered on-board generator. What will they now use for on-board backup power? Batteries just like Transrapid?

[Northeast Maglev @NortheastMaglev]

Introducing the new Series L-zero SCMAGLEV train. Sleeker, quieter, and even more environmentally friendly. https://t.co/DvGCpGiNi8

[Northeast Maglev @NortheastMaglev]

To minimize the impact on the surrounding communities and environment, the train’s first phase will run mainly in deep underground tunnels and in overhead viaducts along the existing Baltimore-Washington Parkway transportation corridor. https://t.co/TNK1DRhTAt
