the kyoto/osaka experience (OT day4)

october 31, 2007 – we bid goodbye to tokyo and moved to kyoto and osaka. we took the shinkansen, the super fast bullet train. it travels 300 km/hr. (i told you its super fast.) yet, the japanese are now in the process of developing an even faster one. we saw the model on exhibit in miraikan. it uses permanent magnets fixed in the car that are levitated and pulled by superconductive discs moving on the rail casing.
