・Once the Linear Chuo Shinkansen is completed, Tokyo and Nagoya may be 340 → 286, and the distance to Osaka may be 520 to 438 km, and the shape of the Tokaido area will change dramatically due to linear passage, which will be shortened from 96 to 40 minutes and 145 to 67 minutes (p14)
・Extension work on the Yamanashi Experimental Line will be completed during fiscal 2013, and the 42.8 km long experimental line will be converted directly to the main line after opening, and full-scale construction will begin during 2014 (p19)
・It was at the end of the 1980s (p20) that the “linear motor car (Railway Research Institute),” which had initially been planned separately, and the “Chuo Shinkansen” as a maintenance bullet train were integrated into one plan
・JR East reduced the debt that was 5.5 trillion yen at the time of privatization to 2.8 trillion yen in about 25 years, so there was no management problem even if it carried a new 5.4 trillion yen (p23)
・Due to advances in civil engineering technology, it is now possible to build a route through the Southern Alps with a tunnel over 20 km, which was initially thought to be impossible (p25)
・Linear bullet trains are necessary in order to prepare routes that will back up current bullet trains as soon as possible (p29)
・With the Tokaido Shinkansen going through one line, companies made a major move from Osaka to Tokyo, and the center of the Japanese economy completely shifted to the Tokyo area (p32)
・Superconductivity is a phenomenon where electrical resistance becomes zero when an object is cooled to an extremely low temperature, and electric current flows permanently, and the trillion-yen conductive magnets on linear trolleys are superconducting due to liquid helium. However, when it floats 10 cm as a result, it is 160 km/h or more, and until then it runs with rubber tires attached to trolleys, and there are three principles of propulsion, levitation, and guidance (p40)
・The Toei Oedo Line also has a linear motor, but linear motors are used for propulsion only, wheels for levitation, and rails for guidance (p43)
・The “Large Depth Underground Usage Law” was established in 2000, and construction became possible at a “large depth” at a depth of 40 meters or more from the surface of the earth, or at a depth of 10 meters added to the deepest part of the building support base, without permission from the owner on the ground, and this boosted linearity (p51)
・On 2003.12, a 3-car friend's run achieved a speed of 581 km/h, the highest world record (p53) at the moment (2013.5)
・The strength of the magnetic field in the guest room is 0.9% of the standard value, and no abnormalities in the operation of the pacemaker have occurred (p55)
・The time required between Tokyo and Nagoya increases by 20 minutes or more when there are 4 intermediate stations, and deceleration, passenger boarding and disembarkation time, and acceleration time are added (p67)
・The maximum speed of the Tokaido Shinkansen is 270, while the Sanyo Shinkansen has a speed of 300 km/h (Tohoku Shinkansen: 320) because of the structure of the track (slab track with concrete substrates) and track design (more straight) (p173)
