😂 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.

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 ?
