For anyone who might be interested in some of the underlying technology of bullet trains this BBC documentary is quite interesting. Now that the California High Speed Rail system is being built it might interest people what technologies actually enable bullet trains to operate. As the documentary shows, there’s quiet a difference between standard trains and bullet trains. One of the coolest technologies I think of bullet trains is the adaptive pneumatic tilting system which enables higher speeds and keeps rides smooth around curves.
You also have to like British sarcasm a little bit to enjoy this documentary to the fullest 🙂
