This is the Incheon Ecobee Urban Maglev, 인천 자기 부상, 자기 부상 near Seoul South Korea. Set to open in September, 2014, this maglev has a top speed of 110km/h and features near silent. smooth operation. Many times, the loudest sound coming from the maglev train is the electric pickup shoe contacting the power rail.

  1. I would like to have had tech like this for Taipeis' YangMingShan MRT Line. https://vimeo.com/11785326
    But would need considerably more capacity – perhaps up to 40,000 pphd-1.
    Quietness would be ideal for ShihPai Rd – running just outside apartment windows.
    Alas, Taipei & Taiwan guvmint didn't want anybody to know about it. They won.

  2. Wow, a great video. I just recently visited the Incheon Airport to get a look at the maglev. It's sad that it still isn't open to the public.

  3. what is advantage and disadvantage of this kind of transportation ? ,aren't there any bad effects because of magnet field for human health ?
