The Tokaido Shinkansen continues operating in conditions that would shut down most rail systems.

**Engineering behind it:**
🔹 Advanced snow detection sensors
🔹 Heated track switching systems
🔹 Aerodynamic design prevents snow buildup
🔹 Real-time monitoring & predictive maintenance
🔹 Automated de-icing systems

Since 1964, the Shinkansen has maintained a perfect safety record while running at 320 km/h.

I've been on here for a while, but in this new era of having my real name as my display name, it's finally time to write an #introduction post. I spend most of my time being a full-time #carer for an unwell member of my family. Before that, I was a lecturer in mechanical and marine #engineering at #PlymouthUniversity, and before that a postdoc researching various bits of #environmentalPhysics and #engineeringFluidMechanics at the #UniversityOfCambridge and #UniversityCollegeLondon...

📣I just presented my explorative and qualitative research on "Engineering Education for Sustainability as a Driver of Urban-Regional Change" at the UERA Conference 2026 in Strasbourg. Thereby, also reflected on their role as change angents in transformation and their contribution to future oriented business models.

What apporaches to sustainable business model development do you know, Mastodon?

🎹🛠️ From a table that "sings" with compressed air to a device that plays #music through your jawbones, the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition winners are pushing the limits of #sound.

These inventors are combining #3D printing, #robotics, and #physics to create #instruments that look and sound unlike anything you’ve seen before.
