JAPAN SHINKANSEN

  Shinkansen N700 series was developed with the nose have the “duck bill” design, it is intended to reduce the impact of boom noise when Shinkansen entering the tunnel. If Shinkansen  enter into the tunnel at speeds above 200 km / h, then at the other end of the tunnel will occur deafening sound termed “boom noise”. This phenomenon occurs very extreme in the previous Shinkansen series that have the conventional nose. This phenomenon occurs as a hand pump tube driven by the pump valve, so that at the end of the tube there is a high air pressure and causing the boom noise. The longer the tunnel, the higher the sir pressure that will occurs. Shinkansen 700 series with a duck bill nose design, visually appear to be less good, but in terms of technology turns with such a design can reduce boom noise almost half if compared with conventional nose design.  reducing "boom noise" The technology of “duck bill” nose not only  reducing the phenomenon of boom noise ...

Shinkansen waiting for Typhoon up to 12 hours in Hiroshima station Shinkansen not always on time, sometimes also experienced delays or delay departure. My husband had experienced a delay departure until 12 hours in Hiroshima station, this is caused by bad weather and typhoon. Thypoon in Japan ussualy occurs around July to November. Thypoon sometimes bring heavy rains and high wind velocity starting from 241 km/h and 67 m/s as superthypoon. Shinkansen, which is relatively lightweight aluminum body may have a sufficient risk of an accident with a high-speed wind. With passenger safety reasons then the departure delay is a wise choice. Unlike the subway train (Chikatetsu) that runs on tunnel (under the land), the subway is relatively safe to use by the passenger at the time of typhoon season. But subway usually use for short traveling. The passengers who have business dealings may have to choose other alternatives travel when Shinkansen having delays departure. Japan may need to think mor...

If you travel with Shinkansen, you may feel like travelling with Jumbo Jet Airplane such as : Boeing 747, 767; or Airbus 300. The good suspension system; accurate flexibility body movement on bogey make all passengers are comfortable lying in theirs seat. All outside noises will absorb by the body wall that made by aluminum alloy at outer sides, soundproof materials at core, and polymers materials is inside. Most of passengers could sleep after ten minutes of theirs sitting. All of them will looks like a baby who swing by his mother; sometimes looks move swaying like a falling leaf. All of them looks don’t have any worry about theirs stop. What happen if some of them are get lost and passing away of theirs stop. Or maybe they dreams that they already at home. Sometimes the conductor girl checks the passenger by randomly; like remedial inspection, perhaps somebody needs her help. Sometimes they right the passengers sleep position. Why this do not happen in our home..?

The old Shinkansen Bullet Train monumented in a Rolling Stock Manufacture in Aichi Perfecture Japan's CO2 Robot Welding Machines CO2 Welding Procces In 1964 the first Shinkansen opened for serves fast traveling between Tokyo and Osaka, this line call the Tokaido Line, remembering Tokaido Road that had linked Edo (Tokyo) and Kyoto in samurai times. Then followed by extending the line to Osaka, for creating new line to Hiroshima and Fukuoka in Kyushu. This line call Sanyo Line. Shinkansen Train made in Rolling Stock manufactures in Japan, the major fabrication process is Welding. There are many types of Welding process applied to fabricate Suinkansen Trains; such as : Electric Resistance Welding; Seam and Spot Welding, CO2 MAG Welding, SMAW Welding, Robots Welding, and Laser Welding. The train bogey (which hold wheels, suspension system, brake system, and some of electrics motors) made by CO2 MAG Robot Welding type. Train bogey needs high accurate in dimension and quality, becaus...

The Shinkansen Nozomi Train for Tokyo in Shin of Osaka. For the Shinkansen Trains, there are three types; but some people call about this types as "class" : Nozomi, Hikari, and Kodama. Nozomi The meaning is hope, the Nozomi trains are the fastest trains on these lines. It will takes about 2.5 hours between Tokyo and Osaka, and roughly 5 hours from Tokyo all the way to Hakata (Fukuoka-Kyushu). This trains make only major stops such as Nagoya, Kyoto, Okayama and Hiroshima. Hikari The meaning is light , it was the original Shinkansen trains on the Tokaido/Sanyo Line. Since the launch of the Nozomi trains, it now serves as the mid level and making a few more stops, but still very fast. Hikari trains traveling between Tokyo and Osaka in about three hours.

Shinkansen Ambitious Japan N700 Series for Nozomi Class in Shin of Osaka Promoting Shinkansen at a Bilboard, in Osaka Shinkansen N700 Series Ambitious Japan, the first pre-production N700 series train was in July 2003 and completed for a public launch in March 2005. My husband has tried to travel with N700 Ambitious Japan in 2004. The maximum speed is around 300 km/h but they usually operate around 270 km/h. This train has ability to make 2,500m radius at 270 km/h. Operate by electric energy with 25 kV voltage of alternating current. There are some electric compensators installed along the railway in order to maintain electric power stability. Some Japanese people who live near the compensator said about feeling of little electric power instability when Shinkansen pass through. Japan very ambitious to make high speed trains; some Japanese always comparing the speeds with France TGV. The speed record for the TGV is currently 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph), set in April 2007. Sometimes Japanese...
