JR Tokai enhances Chuo Shinkansen Maglev with helium-free high-temp magnets.

Hello! We are VeinWorks for Industrial Containers.
Today I would like to share with you some news about the technological development of the Linear Central Shinkansen Line.

JR Tokai developed high-temperature superconducting magnets for the Linear Chuo Shinkansen, receiving positive evaluations from the Ministry for potential use on commercial railway lines.

High-temperature superconducting magnets can be cooled by refrigeration, eliminating the need for imported liquid helium, thus avoiding the procurement risk associated with liquid helium.

Furthermore, high-temperature superconducting magnets do not require helium tanks or piping, which is expected to reduce production costs, maintenance, and power consumption by about 10%.

Fingers crossed that the Linear Shinkansen will be open for business in the near future!
