Bullet Trains Tidbits (2012-02-16)
Do you know what this is?
Clue: A rail goes through it
It's a car wash place for bullet trains!
Uses special rotating brushes and cleaning agents
Each one costs 260 million yen! (US$3.4M)
The wheel thing of a bullet train is made as a whole unit
with special parts connecting them in order to withstand a 260km/hr speed. This is as technical as I get in science stuff, hahaha!
The toilet inside a bullet train only uses 200ml (6.5 oz) water to flush
because of its special vacuum interior design
The commode costs half a million yen each! (US$65,000)
