Ground effect train

Ground effect trains are a type of train that use air pressure to help them go faster. They work by having fans built into the bottom of the train, which push air down as the train moves forward. This creates a cushion of air underneath the train, like a bubble. As the train moves, the air cushion helps it to stay close to the ground. This reduces drag, which means the train can move faster and uses less energy.
