WUWA VISION yes but the conclusion after investigation found the citizens complaints about the original were unfounded and the em radiation from the magnetics from the track was not related in any way to the 14 cases of cancer in one area, as the maintenance track in question was unpowered when not in use. The lead poisoning and cancer was later found to be contaminated in the drinking water from an unfiltered local spring. The shockwave and Noise levels were also found to be significantly lower than the local low speed rail, but by then the policy had change to the high speed rail line and a lawsuit by transrapid found China using its intellectual property rights stopped the mk7 design completely since then no more work has happened on high speed maglev for over 10 years instead the s1 metro line and experimental mono rail was developed in China as a cheaper alternative since Germany has shut down transrapid project in favour of further cheaper conventional rail ice de designs, I fear that this may be the only working transrapid link in the world unless another country helps co fund and deploy , and there seems to be a definitive sit and wait for the results of the Japanese system to start service before spending the 60 billon track and cart costs

The noise is caused by the same thing that causes noise in regular electric trains. That is, it comes from the huge cooling fans and air compressors that are part of the heavy-duty air cooling system that all electric trains need to have to not overheat their working components.

A esa velocidad consume mucha energía, pero un metro basado en maglev con trenes corriendo entre 80-100 km/h entre estaciones el gasto de energía es menor al de un tren normal, también se pueden hacer líneas expresas que conecten los aeropuerto con el centro o zonas muy alejadas de la ciudad corriendo a 120-160 km/h, realmente es más eficiente que un monoriel clásico y la construcción es mas barata que un metro subterráneo, también el mantenimiento es mas barato que un tren normal o un monoriel al no tener contacto con el riel.

Amazing .....!!!

2007 was the last and only time I rode on this thing, and I certainly do not remember much about it, so thanks for this video. Back then I didn't have a video camera, and only took several shots with my D-SLR.

And I don't recall this thing was that noisy until I watch your video.
