Solar-Powered Bullet Train Design

May-25-09 Solar Bullet LLC hopes to power its 220mph solar bullet train via solar energy - the company claims can travel from Tucson to Phoenix in just 30 minutes using this technology.

The system would need 110 megawatts of electricity to run, which would be generated by overhead solar panels mounted above the tracks, making use of the Arizona's abundant sunshine.

Although the project is still in the very early stages of development, the company is hopeful it can start operating by 2018.
