What Are Vacuum Trains?
Vacuum trains are a cutting-edge innovation poised to transform the transportation industry. By operating in sealed tubes with reduced air pressure or near-vacuum environments, these trains eliminate almost all air resistance. This allows them to achieve extraordinary speeds, surpassing those of traditional maglev trains or even aircraft. Countries like China are investing heavily in this technology, viewing it as the next step in high-speed travel.
