Most one-handed martial arts sword cuts in one minute (rush straw)
The Art of cutting goes back to the middle ages and is certainly especially known from the Tameshigiri, which means «test-cut» Rice or Rush straw was the material that was mostly used to test the sword and the skills of the swordsman. In this attempt we chose to use rush straw as well. The mats (Tatami Omote) have been rolled together until each became at least 10cm in diameter. The mats were about 90cm in length and divided into at least four sections which had to be no larger than 15cm. The weight of a mat was about 3.5kg to 4kg. The idea behind this attempt, was to prove that the european swords where just as good in cutting purpose, as a katana for example. So the Swiss Swordsmith Reto Zürcher forged a battle-ready sword; Braida. And it was hungry for cuts. Alex Gueffroy from Kagetana – Swordfighting was given…

Maglev, the fastest train in the world
Maglev are the initials of magnetism and levitation that are the two physical principles that make this train the fastest in the world. In April 2015, a manned Maglev superconducting train broke the two existing speed records of rail vehicles. The train was timed and reached 603 kilometers per hour (375 miles / hour). This is a much higher speed than the Maglev trains that already operate in Shanghai, China and South Korea and run between 268 and 311 miles / hour and 68 miles respectively The initial objective of the Maglev project was to achieve a train that could cover the route from Tokyo to Osaka in less than an hour. The SC Maglev, or superconducting magnetic train, has been developed by the Central Japan Railway Company and by the Railway Technical Research Institute since the 1970s.
