😂 That’s what Muskrat wanted you to believe. Engineers and people with more than 2 brain cells have debunked the Hyperloop idea for years. Here’s one of them from 7 years ago.
The vacuum is the hard part, not the maglev. You would need to enclose the entire track inside if a vacuum, and that world be ridiculously expensive and practically impossible with current technology. It’s already very expensive to build a tunnel for a train, which is why they are avoided if possible. But this would need to be all tunnel that is air tight, so even more expensive than regular train tunnels.
To put it into perspective, the current largest manmade vacuum chamber is at a NASA research facility in Ohio. It’s a cylinder with a diameter of 100 feet and a height of 122 feet. If this were laid on its side, about 1.5 New York subway cars could fit inside. The largest vacuum ever made can barely fit the vehicle inside, let alone allow it to travel between two different places where the extra speeds would be warranted.
So basically every project worth doing. Obviously it would be expensive it’s train travel. Any kinda project costs a fuck tonne. Not specific to Hyperloop.
That’s fair enough. I suppose any kind of improvement on maglev would be useful. Just bumping trains to 300 would have some ability to compete with air travel
Yeah that would be very expensive and difficult. However kinda similar to if a plane fails.
All others seem fair enough. Technology moving past is kinda silly. That’s like saying don’t make trains as new tech might come and then it’s a waste.
Boo. All I want is fast as fuck transport. I don’t see why maglev trains in a vacuum are so difficult

And even before that the Swiss seriously studied the possiblity and gave up.
Swiss are known for nazi gold and secret banks. Not really building infrastructure for the masses
telling me you’ve never been to switzerland without telling me you’ve never been to switzerland.
Lol wat?
Their train infrastructure is fucking amazing.
Leave your state.
Don’t live in America. Leave your country
So Japan has had maglev since the 90s. Explain?
Their Maglevs are not Hyperloops…
Obviously
I’m aware. That wasn’t the question
It is the answer to your question tho. Maglev is feasible, Hyperloop, not so much.
They gave you the only answer your stupid question deserves.
Oh name calling. How very thoughtful of you.
Clearly very smert
Maglev=! Vacuum. Elon promised an existing technology inside a vacuum.
I know

That kinda puts it in perspective. What about particular vaccum? Or just where the tracks meet the train. That’s the only bit with drag ?

Because maintaining a train length vacuum is really difficult and doesn’t really provide that big of a benefit.
Atmospheric rail has been attempted with varying degrees of success (but never to a ‘replaces traditional rail’ degree) for 200 years.

Such as ?
How about a 35 minute video about it?

Thunderf00t has many videos on the subject. I recommend checking them out. He’s been calling out musk’s bullshit for years, and is right every time.
Most engineering channels on YouTube. Guess thunderf00t has made progress recovering his public image.
He’s always been an OG.
Hyperloop ate half a billion $ and the only “transport” they managed to actually build is THIS
Do you also believe the Moon is made from cheese?
I want to believe.
I think you were being sarcastic with that last line and nobody caught it. Sorry mate.
Read the rest of their posts. It doesn’t seem like they’re being sarcastic.
