E4022: Trains in Japan in Splash! 2010 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2010)
How can a train levitate? Why is the Shinkansen the fastest commuter train on earth? If 30 million people take the Tokyo subway everyday, why is it still the most on time subway system in the world? In this class I'll introduce students to technology of Japan Railways. Topics covered will include the Tokyo Metro, the largest subway system in the world, the history of Japan Railways, Magnetic Levitation and applied Superconductivity, and how to read enough Japanese to find your way around Japan by train.
