Developed in Germany between the 1970s and 2010s, Transrapid, a maglev train system, was an ambitious and highly promising technology.
utilized unique technology that allowed the train to hover above the tracks, thereby eliminating friction and achieving high speeds.
As for propulsion, the Transrapid utilized a linear motor, which is a type of electric motor that generates linear motion instead of the rotational motion produced by traditional electric motors. The linear motor's stator, or stationary part, was installed along the guideway, while the rotor, or moving part, was attached to the train.
On September 22, 2006, a Transrapid train on the test track in Lathen, Germany, crashed into a maintenance vehicle on the track. The emergency braking slowed the train from 450 km/h to a speed of 162 km/h . However, there were 34 people on board, and those speeds were not slow enough.
