is nobody a skeptic any more? this doesn't work and it won't work, and i'm even saying this without watching thunderfoot video. The passenger travel chamber won't float just because it's in the low pressure, then space shuttles wouldn't need extra boost once they reach upper atmosphere, also i lost it at 2:27 when she said that biggest problem is the comfort, seriously, THAT'S the biggest problem? Also the "turning" in Y turns wouldn't be possible at 700mph, there is no way to redirect that force with such precision for redirect travel chamber into a path you want that barely fits into a tube: No idea what will you use at fuel for acceleration, but fossil fuels are out of the question, solar can't produce that much power. It's a nice idea but a failure in the end

1) Anyone that wanted to fuck with a hyperloop track could easily do so on a normal train too, just cut away one inch of track and bam you derail a team. 2) You obviously have never taken an actual physics class outside of KZfaq and keyboard warrioring. "there would have to be a force strong enough to stop the travel chamber before the outside pressure hits it with phenomenal force, i'm not a physicist but logic dictates that energy taken from the tube has to return to the tube ASAP." What actually does that even mean lol? And the whole beauty of the HyperLoop design is that it operates in not a vacuum but at low pressures and as such breaches would only cause temporary problems as the trains would be slowed down by slightly higher levels of air resistance. Once the breach would be repaired the system would be back to functioning at 100%.

The consequences of a single rifle bullet penetrating the tube could be the catastrophic loss of all vehicles and their passengers. The susceptibility of the entire system to a single point failure is just one reason Hyperloop is impractical.

They've already debated building it for a century. The idea of low-pressure tunnels to reduce drag has been around for a century and a half. Goddard essentially pioneered the idea of the modern hyperloop that Musk is parading as his own. The problem is that there is a pretty damn good reason nothing has been ever made. It's practically impossible to create a near-vacuum that is hundreds of miles long and even a minor interference with the system causes catastrophic consequences (Terrorism or natural disasters), not to even mention the problems of heat expansion and economic viability. Even then it's only twice as fast as the proposed high-speed train system that has none of the problems above. The whole project is a bust from the start.

The probability of error for this thing would have to be infinitesimally small, it would need to be the most secure transportation system in the world in terms of probable microsystem failure. It would need multiple fail safes in the form of multiple systems confined into a single system, then it would need to be safeguarded against free radical hazards such as heat and cold expansion and contraction, natural deterioration and any idiot roaming around with a rifle with armor piercing ammunition. It would have to be the safest transportation system ever conceived of, leading to the inevitability of it also being the least safe transportation system ever conceived of. You can only have ideal transportation in an ideal world... this wouldn't work ideally in this world, the budget is doomed to inflate exponentially I suspect.

This is like talking about hydrogen cars without talking about the many potentially insurmountable problems with hydrogen storage (and the problem conceptually with using hydrogen as a fuel). I would love a hyperloop to exist, but I heard that this will be done in a (near-)total vacuum, which puts passengers at serious risk of death if basically anything goes wrong. Also there's the extreme cost of maintaining a vacuum. But this video doesn't mention a vacuum. At all. That's all anyone should care about because that will make or break this idea.
@JohnSmith-td7hd8 жыл бұрын
Exactly. I think that a lot of middle-class and lower people think these trips will be for them. This would likely just be for the rich, but since so much of the US's money is in a small fraction of the population, there might not even be enough customers. I feel sorry for investors; I really can't see this happening.
@Donovaan8 жыл бұрын
***** Yeah, if constructed right it should be quite risk less and we could probably go with a weak vacuum at slower speeds to begin with atleast. But don't forget the possible terrorism factors and the potential of miss-use of the hyperloop, like weapon distribution or launching. Inventing a hybrid version of a hyperloop using for example electro magnetism and or jet fuel or something like that might be an idea to consider.

The whole point of a hyperloop is to have resistance-free travel. That requires a vacuum. Otherwise it's a mag-lev train. Mag-lev trains can go fast, but they could not achieve the speeds possible in a vacuum.

So I don't see how this is any different. It's all matter of design. Airplanes are extremely dangerous, hell they hang on top of aluminum at even 10 mile heights. Safety is matter of design. Practicalities? You wouldn't believe what type of inventions and breakthroughs in material area are happening(covers heat expansion and strength). Electricity? Not a problem, the whole train network in Finland runs on electricity and it seems to run just fine. Everything is possible, never stop believing. And even if this ends up as failure some of the steps of building this idea might spark a new innovation on it's own. This is the whole point of free, open source science. Everything is possible and all branches can evolve into something wonderful. And lastly just to point out, the some the very best of inventions have been invented due to a accident.

@JobMoret8 жыл бұрын
The propeller isn't the driving force. It's driven by magnets, levitated by magnets. They want to have as little friction as possible, so they create a low pressure environment. However, low pressure at high speeds still cause pressure at the front, so to take that pressure away, they thought of a propeller.

+Peppe Ddu We can't only travel for pleasure. Many laws and other legalities, require that an actual person be present when certain things have to be done. Although there is much office work that can be done over the Internet; there is equally much that has to be done 'in person'. Such as when someone needs to sign legal business documents, financial papers, or in other instances, such as overseeing an office. Many workers, who have not been replaced by automation yet, need to be there in person, in order to do their jobs. I could make a very long list of instances where people need to travel to work in person, but I think you get the gist of it. Only traveling for pleasure is a very naive idea.

+Kunigdąbsław Mgdolwicz It's not about that. As things are automated, people find other things to do, which improves our world. Think back to the 1850s, when the steam engine replaced a lot of human work. First then could we direct our focus away from food production and towards greater things. Every single industry automated, opens up a completely new market. Money will still flow among people. Machines won't suck up money. There will probably still be a need for cashiers for tickets, security, janitors, engineers and so on. I believe that this is a job creator, and not the other way around, as what we replace is the car, which we operate ourselves. It's very hard to explain, but automisation will never be a bad thing in terms of overall human well-beingness. Never.
