      Airlocks are probably less than 0.1% the length of the entire tube. A 100% air-filled airlock when merged with the tube will only result in a very minimal increase in air for the entire tube. Just continuously pump air out from the main tube to maintain the exact low pressure needed and you're good.

    Hyperloop sounds cool as a concept, but wouldn't it just be easier to invest in high speed rail? In China and Japan there are already trains in use that reach speeds of over 600 km per hour, and these could be brought to the rest of the world too, with enough investment. In smaller countries like the UK or South Korea, trains wouldn't even need to go that fast. People really aren't asking for a lot, they just want connectivity and, in the case of larger areas, high speeds.
    Though if I'm wrong about Hyperloop and in a few decades we have passengers going from Los Angeles to New York in just over 2 hours, I would be glad to be mistaken.

      RAM 👈🏼. 🤜🏾🤛🏼 agree & would like to add, too many of our brothers and sisters, in the USA, are woefully science illiterate. Too many of them who are science illiterate, would need to start at the basics. At about third or fourth grade science. And most of them cannot tell the difference between the word “theory” w/ a lowercase “t” .......& a Scientific “Theory” w/ a capital “T”. Which is supposedly taught to America’s young spongy minds. But, I wasn’t specifically taught this, or the enormous amount of research, testing over & over... then, this work is sent out,across the 🌎, to many scientists, Who will repeat the test that the first scientist did, exactly. Over and over and over again for himself or herself, and if all of this testing results in the same answers as the first scientist, and these same results start coming in from all of the places that it went to get peer reviewed, then we have a Theory w/ a capital “T”. So much rigorous testing and peer review testing goes into science, to make sure that that all the reviewing, testing & research is factual.... The reason for doing so much peer reviewing, of other scientists work before we state that it is a fact a.k.a. a scientific Theory, Is to attempt to disprove the claims of the original scientist. Every peer reviewer wants to be the one to find the flaw and discredit said new Theory. I wholeheartedly agree w/ your comment. It starts w/ education & factual textbooks 📚 (&, imho- letting go of magical thinking & embracing the only world, only reality that can be proven to exist. When humans start to realize that they’ve been lied to, indoctrinated into being a magical thinking, science illiterate adult, like me- they’re gonna go through some major cognitive dissonance... it’s awful. But, it passes a lil bit, each day/week & even faster if they dive into education. If one is not the textbook type, try Aron Ra’s channel, you WONT be disappointed. Another ya channel is, *Stated Clearly*. Brilliant minds. Also, if you do happen to be struggling with cognitive dissidents and attempting to let go of your magical thinking, look up recovering from religion. It is a nonprofit, and only licensed professionals who are really good at what they do, many of them have walked away from very conservative churches and even more of them have left everyone behind, Because they were shunned for not believing. Recovering from religion has helped so many of us....... I know they can help you, as well. #KnowledgeIsPowerful

Maglev trains are not widlely spread it's because of the huge cost, hyperloop is adding on top of the maglev a tube around, huge pumps, unknown type of dilatation joints for the vacuum etc. And then they will ask people to lie down in a cabin without space to stand up, and in case of emergency they have to stay hours stuck in the most stressful claustrophobia.

      The idea is an enormous technical challenge.The challenge is a sealed tube that can maintain near vacuum on the inside while thermal expansion puts considerable strain all its joints from the outside. From an engineering standpoint an underground tunnel and tube system may be the best solution for a consistent and constant ambient temperature. Having a system like this eliminates wild temperature swings that cause joint fatigue. But this system also comes with added benefits, the structure will not be seen on the landscape baring views of the countryside. It should also be easier to secure and maintain in the long-run. Just one down side, to build such a tunnel system will not come cheep.

      Tesla is an unreliable electric car maker based on an old concept. He bought the company when it was young, and had nothing to do with the engineering in its conception. SpaceX is just NASA, but a private company for SOME reason. And now hype loop... an idea so old and childish that Elon had to make it "opensource" so he didn't have his name associated with its failure. Which brings me to another point. Elon has no idea what open source means. That is something you do after a design is finished. You release all of your work to the public.

    The Shinkansen is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan.
    Over the Shinkansen's 50-plus-year history, carrying over 10 billion passengers, there has been not a single passenger fatality or injury due to train accidents.
    The maximum operating speed is 320 km/h. Test runs have reached 443 km/h.
    The original Tokaido Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, three of Japan's largest cities, is one of the world's busiest high-speed rail lines. Since its opening more than five decades ago, it has transported more than 5.6 billion. At peak times, the line carries up to 13 trains per hour in each direction with 16 cars each (1,323-seat capacity and occasionally additional standing passengers) with a minimum headway of three minutes between trains.

    Established, safe, high speed transportation. I'd like to see any hyperloop plans achieve this kind of passenger volume.
    Did anybody even think about this before going off on "the flying cars" solution??? A hundreds of kilometer long vacuum tube??? I didn't need to watch thunderfoot's video to know that this is just an accident waiting to happen. Anyone who has actually built any real life transportation infrastructure and has a basic understanding of real world (not text books) physics knows this is just a pipe dream (pun intended).
    For those who watched this video ruclips.net/video/EMfvUSrEDvo/видео.html If you think a tube is a strong as a sphere then I have a video for you. ruclips.net/video/VS6IckF1CM0/видео.html Enjoy! Also their temperature argument is also bogus. You don't need a difference in temperature from one end to the other. You need a temperature difference over time. I live in the central valley of California. We regularly see night time temps around 10c and daytime temps around 38c. The expansion problem on very long tubes is real. Ask any pipeline engineer. I won't even dignify their statement about colder and warmer air entering after a rupture. LMAF.
    Can a hyperloop be built? Anything can be build if you throw enough money at it. Does this mean it's a good idea? There are better uses for this much of the public's money. See beginning of my comment.

      Yeah. Heck this small place called Rand Corporation did studies on it like at 60's and even then it was an old concept. So Musk isn't even the first to seriously study or engineer it. One can dowload Rands reports on this from their website for free. At the time it was "Very High Speed Transit System" instead of "hyperloop". It pretty much boils down to "The gains would be huge, but so is the technical hurdles and the costs." It is best kind of possible: Technically possible. However technically possible doesn't mean practically possible, economically possible or good idea to build.
      It always comes down to: Maintaining that massive low pressure environment and all the extra trouble it causes is not worth the expense for the gained speed. Also the more speed you gain the bigger problems arrive, since the needed turning radius keeps growing. Also the more speed one has, the more catastrophic even a small glancing blow at the tube walls. and so on and so on. The more speed one gains the harder the technical problems start to become.
      Rand calculated one pretty much had to tunnel, since that was the only way to get enough freedom to keep to the extremely stringent turning radius limitations.
      Ocfourse one can do hyperloop or vac train with small radius.... For slow speeds. So that is pointless waste of effort. Hey we got 1 second of top speed and then we are as slow as a train due to turning radius since otherwise we would shake the train and passengers to pieces.

    California tried to build a high speed rail between Los Angeles and San Francisco. In theory the speeds would have been 200 miles per hour. Then other cities wanted in on the action, so more stops were added. Now the rail will be lucky if it reaches 70 miles per hour. Hyperloop looks good in theory as long they keep the destinations from point A to point B. If they add more stopping points it becomes another expensive railroad.

And yet it's absolutely tiny in comparison to the proposed hyperloop tube. Given NASA needs a really thick metal wall surrounded by an even thicker concrete wall, I'm not sure how anyone expects a long thin tube to work.

      The engineering and physics are the easy part, it’s already been tested and proven. The real problem is, can they overcome the costs to implement these new systems to make it competitive with air and high speed rail travel? You would have to build a system that would be cheaper than traditional air and high speed rail systems; and that’s just not possible with any new technology. Hyperloop is competing against mature industries that have robust support systems that’s been fleshed out since the 1970s. I would imagine hyperloop boarding tickets would cost 40-50 percent more than airline and high speed rail tickets. That higher price premium might not be worth the 5-10 mins saved in travel time. Hyperloop is possible but not with the current economics.

      It too difficult to built (needs to be perfectly straight and curves perfectly smooth), too expensive to build, run and maintain (needs to keep a full vacuum across hundreds of miles of tube), and too dangerous to use (any part of the tube has a vacuum malfunction and its as good as a solid wall at these speeds, the tiniest bump will oscillate the pod out of control. People turn to dust at these speeds).

      The potential is greater. Without friction the speed can be increased, while energy efficiency is better.

      @@dragonheartedcs4061 Not sure how Hyperloop is safer than Bullet Train/HSR. At least in Japan, they manage tk maintain the status of Shinkansen to not have any fatal accidents or at all.
      Hyperloop have a lots of risk that vacuum tube to be compromised and may cause more catastrophic failures. But that depends how they will design safety features to the line.
      If the Hyperloop pod or train stops at the middle of the track, yeah that seems a problem. Though they have to have an emergency exit alongside the tube, but that will require depressurisation though.

    The concept of hyper loop was introduced in 1799 by George Medhurst, and was refined and extended through the ensuing decades and centuries, and was present in many science fiction novels in the 1950's.

      I know it goes back to late 19th century but I'd like to point out an early 1990s' video named "end of century business revolution" with the exact same concept as Hyperloop: goods and people are transported through pods in elevated vacuum tubes connecting city centers at supersonic speed.

      @@OscarBoix They have tiny capsules moving at speeds far lower than Japanese trains which can move a thousand people at once safely. In order to greatly exceed the Japanese speeds you have to maintain extremely low air pressure which requires huge amounts of energy to create and is prone to catastrophic failure in two ways. If the capsule loses integrity the pressure in the capsule would equal the pressure in the tube and would kill the occupants. If the tube lost integrity the rush in pressure would cause everything to implode.

      @@xjohnny1000 No, it's an investment scam. Anyone with an understanding of physics knows it is a pack of lies. Withholding the forces of a near vacuum requires an oppositional force. Creating the near vacuum requires massive energy. Creating an escape strategy which allows people with lungs to exit the system without their lungs being ripped from their body requires enormous force. It is all a lie and everyone with an ounce of sense involved knows it. Every attempt at selling the concept is littered with contradictions and the sleek look which makes no sense at all is just the start of it. It is simply an attempt at getting cash from the gullible. Yes, you can make something move fast in a near vacuum environment but the cost is too high and the risk with something living involved is outrageous in a world when the technology to move people safely at 400 MPH at far greater number already exists. If you want a Maglev you build one and if you want high speed you reduce resistance but what you don't do is pretend size matters or air resistance in a near vacuum when there is no air matters. The whole thing is bullshit on a number of levels. Its purpose is deception.
