Fastech 360z Bullet train JAPAN

East Japan Railway Co. unveiled the latest prototype of the next-generation bullet train, code-named "Fastech 360Z," to the press on Wednesday at its rolling stock laboratory center near Sendai in northern Japan. The six-car Fastech will aim to log the world's fastest speed for wheeled trains at 360 kilometers (224 miles) per hour during a normal journey. In comparison, France's TGV (Train Grande Vitesse) ordinarily runs at 300 kph. However, the TGV still holds the world record for wheeled trains for hitting 515 kph (320 mph). "The Fastech can run safely at more than 400 kilometers per hour but we do not have plans to test in the 500-kilometer range," company spokesman Makoto Yasuhara said. "We will start test runs at the weekend for about two years before we put it into commercial operations," he said.

Free energy from vacume

The Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (MEG)
Has produced up to 100 times more power than was input, by extracting free energy from the vacuum. The MEG has been independently constructed, and its overunity performance independently replicated, by other researchers. US Patent awarded March 26, 2002. Invented by Tom Bearden and four colleagues.

Factoid: Energy from the Vacuum is NOT zero point energy, since the latter is an observable state and the vacuum energy is nonobservable.

SPS tehnology..New type of rocket fuel

The MFC™ is a manufactured spherical particle that is only 1000 microns (three times the thickness of a human hair) in diameter. Even though it is so small, it contains all the ingredients (e.g. fuel and solid oxygen source) required to make a solid propellant. Included within each particle is a near perfect, extremely thin (1 micron) protective barrier that separates a high-energy spherical solid oxygen core from a high-energy fuel layer. This protective barrier (plastic control barrier in figure) keeps the high-energy chemicals of the solid propellant from touching and making the fuel unstable. In current solid propellants, no such protective barrier can be made between high-energy chemicals, so using high-energy fuels with solid oxygen sources is not possible since they would touch and destabilize the solid propellant. In the SPS technology, the capability to use both high-energy fuels with protected high-energy solid oxygen will dramatically improve the power and performance of solid propellants.
