Hyperloop Technologies has secured $37m (£26m) in funding.

But the initial proposed track from Los Angeles to San Francisco has been estimated at costing $8bn (£5.6bn).

Yep quite a few $ and planning permission yet to come.

Well I think we all know who is weird ....

Oh yeah?

Might just as well go on a 747 or A380 and get there just as quick in better comfort.

But aircrafts are also tubes made of aluminium:)

Mark, you don't actually read this stuff do you?

As some of you might know the U.S. is rumored to have a secret highspeed "VHST"(very high speed tranist system).It is used from anywhere to shuttling workers around secret underground bases,to use by favored corporations,shadow government personal,black ops,etc.It is rumored to cruise at speeds of 14,000 mph!!Making a trip from L.A. to N.Y. in 21 minutes!!!.Id like to know what you all think about this.......start the speculations!!

What a load of total unadulterated garbage ......


Yea why not Chris some of it is hillarious , have a read guarantee that some of the things there will make you p.y.s.l . Even seti @ home has got it's own bit there ( and im not joking there mate )

Doh, yes we know that Janne. The point is that passengers don't travel up and down the aircraft, they travel WITH it. Do try to keep up at the back there.

I have never seen passengers travel up and down an aircraft.
Whats matter is how a passenger percive speed.
If it's in a tube or an aircraft doesn't matter.

If Elon Musk thinks it will work, it will work.
I find it queer that the op would start a thread in science by bashing right from the start.
Seems like someone is trying to turn the science forum into a politics forum he's self-exiled from.


You down with O.P.P.?
Yeah, you know me.
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

Not a new idea, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Palace_pneumatic_railway

and some other methods using vacuum to propel carriages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_railway
Includes the infamous attempt by that brilliant engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel down in South Devon.

Hyperloop



That was a very interesting article, Chris. Thanks for posting it.

The first thing that comes to mind when I think about pneumatic technology is the scene in "Brazil", when the intra-office tubes get stuck.
The mind is a weird and mysterious place
