And I've already banned the first person getting triggered by my mention of Brno's treatment of Roma. Keep it up! I like to keep my comment section's average IQ high.
What did he say???
based
Even since you made the video about Europeans going from friendly Neighbor to SS-soldier anytime you mention Roma or immigrants is so true, i see examples of it many times online.
Good man
You interviewed Elon musk?!
Adam, you are too harsh on HyperloopTT. You act like they haven't accomplished anything in a decade, when in reality they've managed to overpay their executives for 10 years while saving money by not building anything more than an empty tube. An impressive feat.
Hyperloop worked exactly as intended
Yeah, but that overpaid executive probably wasn't you and it surely wasn't me! Big mistake on their part that totally and absolutely undermines their credibility!
One whole decade getting paid to play with cardboard boxes. That's living a good life.
Thunderfoot has original idea to apply hyperloop, but without train or "capsules for free green energy from pressure difference. Build a hyperloop running from north where is cold then towards the south where is warmer, that temperature difference causes changes in pressure, which further creates a constant motion, which could be harnessed into a mechanical energy and from there into electrical.
No more CO2 emission.
@@zabababa9969 sorry, but how do you reverse it exactly? Like when the thing gets to either side, how do you make it go in the opposite direction?
Or just send me the link for the video if you like.
"This idea from 1888 was first conceived by Elon musk in 2012"
Just gonna let that sentence stand in its own, quality subtle writing
Yup - 15 seconds in, and I laughed out loud to this. :D
Musk truly is a .... of his time.
I don't think you know what subtle means.
It’s a great line, but it’s about as subtle as a hammer to your face. Perhaps you should pick up a dictionary?
I see people commenting on this comment don't speak sarcasm.
I was “head of propulsion” in a university Hyperloop team. I started as a bright-eyed child hoping to revolutionise transport, then quickly came to the conclusion that trains are better when we just reinvented maglev..
It did look good on my cv tho, I’m glad my employer doesn’t watch your channel!
So this is the nefarious purpose behind uni Hyperloop: to let students learn how useless Hyperloop really is.
@@CodecrafterArtemis "Nefarious" indeed. Hands-on experience on the dangers of trying to implement tech from the back of a napkin. The rest can be shut down, but I hope the uni one stays up. Its educational after all.
So you're the first guy that gets called up when something needs to be pushed around?
@@stereotypo3964 Yeah, the University project serves an actual purpose, even if it isn't building a functional Hype-Rloop.
It's like signing up for a rocket ride and ending up on a slow train to Innovation Town. At least your CV got a wild adventure story to tell! 🌟😄
We tried an incredibly simple model hyperloop for a high school project. Very early on we changed our presentation from "the inevitable hyperloop future" to a laundry list of issues.
Just use trains. They work at near every scale. The infrastructure and technology is there. It doesn't require a fragile and hostile artificial environment. And they go CHOO CHOO.
CHOO CHOO Fuck Yeahhh !
It's almost like good ideas (trains and public transport) stand on their own, without the need for logical fallacies, censorship, or corruption.
Stand on their own 🤔
@@hendrikbijloowalk on their own even
or roll on their own, without the need for gravity assist.
Well the history of railroads in the US definitely says otherwise (not that I’m against public transportation mind you)
@@radicalfishstickstm8563 That's what happens when you privatise something that fundamentally shouldn't be privatised. Transportation at its core is a service, not a for-profit venture.
For all the Ukrainian viewers out there: remember how our former minister of transport, Omelian, signed some goofy documents with Hyperloop TT and promised to build a functioning line by 2023? He also stated that "hyperloop returns its investment in 12 year; a railroad - never". When questioned about the failure to even build a proof-of-concept test chamber in Dnipro, he said he wanted "to give the Ukrainians a dream". Is it a coincidence that stupid and corrupt people have been always falling in with Musk's shitty "ideas" so well?
my god YES, i remember that
Luckly I dont think Ukrainians will ever be trusting Musk again, considering how he just tried to sabatoge an attack on Crimea by turning off starlink.
I think Ukraine was busy with something else.
Something something pro-Russian separatist movement.
Giving people a dream is usually the same as making empty promises.
It's a politician staple.
Wait, what? Railroad never returns its investment? Lol, that's the funniest thing I've heard today
Australia has been kicking around the idea of high speed rail between east coast capitals for decades. This leaves a great opportunity for someone to suggest a Hyperloop instead, get around $200m in feasibility funding and then present a length of garden hose with a couple of marbles before pissing off to the Bahamas for a well earned rest.
I was going to use toy train tracks and a vibrator, but your idea is more cost effective so I'm stealing it. Best wishes from the Bahamas.
I hate having integrity or I'd be on this... I'm a rail engineer damnit, I should be being paid stupid amounts for nothing!!
@@billyork6017 what if you just pretended to make a hyperloop, but then pulled a fast one on us and built high speed rail anyway and just claim that you've reversed the vacuum so that now the vacuum is the air outside the 'pod' because you've 'reverse vacuum sealed the pods' (honestly just use star trek lingo, its not like anyone who will be saying yes or no actually has any idea how any of this works)

@@TheMattsem is he tho?
he could absolutely afford top dollar marketing genius
but left alone the dude will literally spend 40b on one of the world's most recognizable brands to replace it with a moonshine whiskey label
PR representatives are relatively cheap... anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 USD a year.
the great irony is the hyperloop track in LV has been dismantled to make room for a railway.
That's...........good.
This is a great win!
I was waiting for someone to mention that.
Los Angeles, not Las Vegas, but still an extremely wonderful sight to see.
@@jeffthebovine4158 Hyperloop is the future for the first world countries.
I'm so happy you talked about Musk's admission of disrupting the California high speed rail project
yeah first time I heard of it. Seriously, Billionaires look down on us so much, it is sickening.
High speed rail is for the people living in poor third world countries, like us. Not for Americans. Do you know how uncomfortable high speed trains could get? Go ask the people of China, who are all living under the tyranny.
Give him a break, he's probably thinking up super epic names for his army of children.
They’ve gotta have super unique names so they won’t be confused for one of the “normal” humans
He did rename twitter to X, so why not name his kids after the alphabet too?
“G” sounds good
@@nebulisnoobis102L is pretty good too
He's the first man whose businesses have more normal names than his children
X1, X2, X3, ... It would reflect the emotional landscape of his inwards to name his children like that.
Turning the journey from LA to SF into a 3 hour train ride sounds awesome and I am actually mad that Elon tried to fuck up such a cool thing. Thank God the rail project survived.
You can now be mad at him purposely taking star link down when Ukraine tries to attack russia
@@hsimpson7267 Yes. It's a PRIVATE companys technology. Not for use for external government. If that's too hard to comprehend, cry or smth idk
Survived-ish. The future of the project is still uncertain. Construction on something like this takes many years - at soonest it won't be opening until 2030, with delays likely. During which time many billions of dollars must be spent, which must be found somehow between state and federal governments. So the future of California's high speed rail depends on not just having a favorable political situation now, but maintaining that favorable political situation for another decade. It wouldn't be the first mega-project to get half-built and then abandoned, because the party in power changes and last year's urgent priorities are now deemed a waste of taxpayer money.
You should be able to do it in about 2 hours with a proper high-speed rail system. The trains between London and Paris do 320km/h (199mph). Distance between the two cities is about 380 miles.
@@hsimpson7267 You mean that Crimea thing? Starlink was never operated in that region anyways.
The Ukrainian government tried to make him do that, but he turned it down because guess what, he's a civilian businessman, not a politician; enabling Starlink to Sevastopol would risk political fallout with Russia, which a civilian company couldn't afford to fight alone. This news turned into a bad Chinese whispers game and suddenly the West media blames Elon for "cutting off" a service he never even activated in the first place.
As much as I hate Elon and his stupid, overreaching ideas, this is one case where he's NOT in the wrong.
You forgot to mention one thing. Long distance travel isn't our biggest problem to start with.
Elon Musk isn't our biggest problem either, but he's right up there.
@@lexslate2476 didn't you read the news? This was like 2 days ago.
US Senator Elizabeth Warren called on the upper house of the US Congress to investigate SpaceX. Earlier, the company’s CEO Elon Musk admitted that he blocked Ukraine’s access to the Starlink satellite network during the attack on Russian warships near the coast of Crimea.
“The Congress needs to investigate what’s happened here and whether we have adequate tools to make sure foreign policy is conducted by the government and not by one billionaire,” Warren said.
Additionally, Warren called on the US Department of Defense to analyze its contractual relationship with SpaceX. The politician’s calls were also supported by the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Jack Reed. The official said he was concerned about the problem because governments traditionally control satellites, and presidents decide what to do with them.
Reed noted SpaceX’s efforts in the US space industry, but stressed that Musk cannot have “the last word when it comes to national security.”
There is never a good reason why 99.9% of people should ever go more than 5 miles from their house anyway. The government should intervene to enforce this.
@@Sajuek My guy, do you possess the ability to think?
@@Sajuekinsane strawman lmao we just want cities unclogged by huge death machines and vast expanses of pavement.
I have a brilliant idea for a hyperloop transport innovation!
1. Design the hyperloop
2. Remove the tube and vacuum to cut expense
3. Add multiple carts for efficiency
4. Add a powerful pushing hyperloopcar for pushing and pulling a chain of hyperloop “nodes”
5. Put this chain of hyperloop nodes on rails with steel wheels, again cost reduction and longevity
6. Make the hyperloop* chains powered by the rails or a continuous source of energy
7. There, you can put it above amd bellow the ground, and can be used for both freight and people!
Seems like a brilliant idea
So. . . A metro
I mean, Elon Musk himself later advocated for using wheels instead of maglev or air bearings. I think you're onto something.
That sounds like a great idea! I knew elon couldn't be wrong. The only thing is that calling the carts "nodes" sounds silly, we should call them "pods"!
You don't need powerful hyperloop pods at the front and back. Each pod can power itself
I _think_ Adam had something like this in one of his videos a couple years ago...?
I think this is actually rather impressive.
Instead of disappointing us by doing nothing, some of the companies listed disappointed us by actually doing something.
They put in the effort to be as pathetic as they could be, so that we could be as disappointed in them as we now are.
I like your.... mhm... contemptuous optimism!
you actually have a point, if they didn't really fail spectacularly or publicly, then it would be easy for others to just continue on with the grift, but because it has been so egregious and public and 'loud' within the media, it means it is unlikely people will forget just how stupid an idea it is, or just how much money it has drained out of their economies.
The Onion already did this over 10 years ago in their video "Obama to replace high speed rail with high speed bus" except arguably better since its a bus and not a single car.
Again its astounding how much they get right.

Who could have thunk that combining the drawbacks of trains, space travel and vacuum cleaners would not yield a viable system of mass transportation.
While you are correct in criticizing the project, I must point out that vacuum cleaners ARE NOT equivalent to vacuums. A vacuum cleaner sucks air, a vacuum is just the state of not having any thing in a space, e.g an atmosphere.
But yes, trying to make maglevs but worse is not the most intelligent thing in the world.
@@Project2457official while you are correct in pointing out that vacuum cleaners suck much less than hyperloop, I must criticize your lack of humour.
@@Project2457officialWouldn't a hyperloop need to suck air out to maintain the vacuum?
@@anxiousearth680Yes, air leakage is never zero specially in big and super long tubes. Vacuum pumps need to stay on 24x7
Or that building trains surrounded by vacuum tubes could be successfully sold to the gullible as cheaper than just building trains.
You have to admit CGI has come a long way in a short time, though.
It's become so affordable any grifter can use it to scam people!
No, not really. Quality keeps dropping, even in blockbusting movies, and the effort put in by creators, even more. 😂🤣
You can thank overwatch for that :)
@@moso00 that's not because of the technology though. that's because of the very little time cgi animators get to actually do the cgi and all the last-minute changes. i genuinely think way of the water would've looked much better in 24fps (just looked weird and jarring) but i think the actual cgi itself was at least ok. on the other hand every superhero movie these days looks like they gave their 4 artists a week to throw together whatever latest instructions they had and then just released it as a movie.
@@engineeredlifeform I will soon use AI to both make the artwork and come up with the new ideas to revolutionize transport.
After being in my aviation maintenance class for a couple weeks it makes me realize how destructive that blast of air is
This is why tunnel portals on high speed rail have a really long taper, they're a bit like the nib of a quill pen - and why tunnels have to have a significantly larger bore than normal - so that the air pressure of a fast-moving train doesn't smash into the stationary air in the tunnel 💥
yet again furries and their jobs maintaining the modern world
@@stevieinselbyand they need something similar to gun barrel ports at their respective openings to redirect the blast wave shoved ahead of them. This redirects the air up and to the sides of the tunnel openings. It took quite some time to perfect them to the state they are in today. There may be even more improvement down the line sometime.
A company in Alberta, Canada managed to grift 500 million dollars from the provincial government to start work on a hyperloop project between our major cities.
Im hopeful though. Obviously a hyperloop is stupid, but the cities are in a relatively straight line. If they actually manage to get some land acquisition and right of ways, maybe when the project fails someone can pick up where they left off and build a normal fucking train
if you ever want to have a good laugh at the Liberals or Conservatives saying mass transit in Ontario/Quebec can't be done, try overlaying a map of Japan with Tokyo somewhere around Toronto. You'll have to rotate it a bit, but the point is made *very* easily.
@@youmukonpaku3168 Even sadder is that Québec City actually has many roads set up in grids, so mass transit could work. Worse for Québec is even _Winnipeg_ has a transit corridor. You know you've dun goof'd when...
The Ontario Quebec corridor is similar in length to some of the main French high-speed rail city pairs :
Toronto Montreal (~550km) is shorter than Paris Bordeaux (~600km) which is done in 2 hours and 4 minutes by TGV. The first part being run on the second oldest line of the country at 300kph after exiting Paris suburbs, and the second part, more recent, at 320kph.
Toronto Quebec City (~800km), similar to Paris Marseille : 3 hours, more than half of the distance is run on the oldest and slowest high-speed line in France.
Toronto Ottawa (~400km) shorter than Paris Lyon (470km), about 1h45 on the oldest line in the country.
Or Paris London (~460km) done in 2h15, including the reduced speed in the Channel Tunnel and detour near the Belgian access.
Ottawa Montreal (~200km), 15 or 20% shorter than Paris Lille, which is done in 56 minutes, including the lengthy Paris exit.
Montreal Quebec City (~250km) a distance roughly equivalent to the Paris Lille done in 56 minutes and mentioned above, on a line dating back to the early 90's and operating at 300kph.
A more recent 320kph or even 360kph line could crush that to 45 minutes.
And it could have a train each way every 3 minutes, like on some French high-speed lines during peak hours, that's 20 trains per hour per direction. Up to 20 000 passengers per hour in each direction with the right trains carrying 1000 passengers each.
The Ontario Quebec corridor fits right in the HSR sweetspot for distances... The main cities of the corridor have a near perfect alignment and spacing.
Politicians saying the distances are not right and too excessive, etc. are simply being dishonest.
Ottawa Montreal could be a hourly shuttle operated by only 2 trains going back and forth all day long, like a federal metro. (I'm not advising that, but distances are so virtually perfect that it would be feasible).
While a Toronto Montreal HSR link would massively reduce the number of flights by being substantially faster center to center than flying.
A train journey under 2 hours literally obliterates all airline competition on the route.
Even if flights took off from Toronto's Billy Bishop City airport and landed at the foot of the Samuel de Champlain bridge, check-in and security time would still make flying slower than a true high-speed train.
Canadian politicians just don't want to invest nor shake the almighty car addiction and prefer to lie about the reality of HSR.
The only understandable argument against HSR in Canada is the way too excessive cost of infrastructure in North America, but that's a contextual issue and should be addressed separately.
To be clear, the $550M did not come from the provincial government, but private investment. Regardless, we don't need a hyperloop in Alberta, just a good old fashioned train in the YEG-YYC corridor would be nice.
@@lukerinderknecht2982 While they're at it, they'd better make it HSR : could be run in 1 hour, turning the two cities into a single agglomeration linked by HSR.
Allowing daily commuting and replacing most traffic of all other means of transportation between the two.
But given that a virtually perfect corridor like Toronto Montreal is still desperately missing HSR, I wouldn't hold my breath.
I mean are we surprised that the guy who designed Hyperloop just to sell more cars didn't finish the project?
I study at TU Delft, and not even the members of the hyper loop team believe in the hyper loop. I know somebody who went to the team interview, told them the hyper loop would never work, and they still hired him. Also as a side note, it’s funny to see that the company with the most progress is a university team which had a fully built prototype pod as well as a stretch of track in the middle of campus.
Well, when you're competing with things like "We ordered some shiny metal tubing and two flatscreens", that's not exactly difficult to do.
@@Llortnerofalso, they *are* competing with huge startups in unrealistic technology. These are telltale signs of scams. Their competitors are scams.
As a research project to give people experience at designing and building something cool, it is succeeding. Unlike the rest.
TU Delft built all sort of fantastic machinery including: a solar powered car/e-bike for desert racing, a high speed bus that looks like a giant bat-mobile and a hurricane proof umbrella .
Awesome university!
@@FranFerioli And row-boats, where the rower faces forward......!
Ironically, back in 1867, a fellow in NYC made a working prototype of a pneumatically-driven subway system. It was just one car that went back-and-forth through a 300 ft. long tunnel, and the idea went nowhere, but in its one year of operation, he sold almost half a million rides on it.
So >150 years ago may have been the closest anyone's gotten to something remotely resembling the hyperloop.
So, 90m? Less than a station.

Or maybe the better comparison was the hover-ferry that took people across the English Channel... of course, the ferry did transport hundreds of people across a day for nearly a decade. People only went on it once as other ferries were better... but, the novelty of being on a large hover-boat was just too tempting, lol.

Now that hyperloop is dead, we can get to work on the unirail, which is definitely not the monorail with different lipstick.

at 0:20 , does anybody else see a problem with "partial vacuum reduces air resistance" combined with "Capsule floats on high pressure air".
Hyperloop NFTs has to be one of the funniest combination of words in existence
As a student from Delft, the fact that you even considered them in this list says a lot about the other entries
It's the best in the list, at least it produces something, studets with experience. And maybe even technology that can be used in automated magazine tech or even real trains. Which you can kinda see by the sponsors.
The funny thing about this, trains are usually operated in a way they always maintain at least their breaking distance from each other. If you have small pods each of the pods would have to keep a distance of several miles from the previous one to avoid a disaster if one breaks down or crashes. So we need to couple them together. To reduce air resistance, we should just build very long pods and also fill all vacant seats in the cars. Hell, we could even remove the cars and save a lot of space and weight by just adding seats and load people instead of cars. I reinvented the train!
It's hilatiously easy to turn a hyperloop into an actually feasable idea like maglev or even a good idea like trains
@@mihael64 pods is a total dead end, but an "atmospheric railway" is not, I don't think.
On the other hand, for shorter trips I think there's a future where public transit within urban areas is a kind of automated hybrid of busses and like uber, we just somehow have to keep the insanos from silicon valley out of it. It's further off in its true logistical sense than its purest technical sense though. Somehow have to make it universally accessible, not requiring reliance on like any megacorp's cellphone software and hardware being constantly functional, as that's a proven dead end.
@@weatheranddarkness
1. If atmospheric railway refers to normal rail transport then yes. If it refers to vacuum trains, it's simply not worth the effort for the little amount of efficiency gained.
2. Urban public transport? Bus. Or tram, actually. You can't really have an uber-like system without it either spiraling into pods or just becoming a normal bus. Only problem now is doing them properly (e.g. consistent schedules, infrequent delays, comfortable sitting/standing, etc.)
@@mihael64 well, yes but no. "Atmospheric Railway" was the first name for a vacuum-powered system. The first usable ones did not enclose the whole vehicle. The potential efficiency gains are extremely high, actually, if you can bring the drag down. Not for low speed systems as much, or stop-start runs, as sheer acceleration-deceleration of mass is the bulk of the power drain as opposed to any system that operates above like 60kmh, drag very very quickly becomes the major component of load.
Anyway, even when you have consistent schedules, you can't efficiently cover a dense network of destinations unless you have certain geometric constraints. There's some sort of pod-cum-bus-cum-tram-taxi solution that can be called to a relatively discrete location adding flexibility that could be developed. Frankly there are still too many kinds of trip and distance that require car type solutions for my comfort.
@@weatheranddarkness While an atmospheric railway would have a large gain in efficiency, the sheer fact that it would have to be a massive vacuum chamber is problematic. Pulling such a vacuum would take too much energy and be very time-consuming. Not to mention that a single leak could end to the entire thing being rendered useless or destroyed.
From my experience with busses they can, in fact, cover most, if not all the space in urban areas if you're willing to walk up to 5 minutes to a bus stop. And while yes, busses aren't the best way to connect more isolated or rural areas it still works. And I agree, implementing some features of uber would likely make public transport (namely busses) better.
Thanks for recognizing that cargo containers that just spent a month on a ship don’t need to go particularly fast. One of my pet peeves when people talk about American rail is when they say we should just upgrade existing freight lines instead of building new high speed ones. Freight needs to be cheap, it doesn’t need to go fast. Instead of wasting a bunch of money trying to upgrade the slow twisty freight line to carry passengers and getting a mediocre line that’s bad at both, just build a proper high speed rail line from the ground up. That way, you get a better passenger line and still have the freight line
Still, some of those freight lines are in realy bad shape tho! But yeah I agree!
And make them grade separated!
Those freight lines should be electrified at the very least...
@@davidhollenshead4892 What's with this weird obsession with electrifying everything? The current system can barely sustain the usage today and despite the increases in efficiency, the demands just keeps increasing. Nobody wants to spend the hundreds of billions (trillions?) needed to upgrade it and the electrical system failing would mean all those fancy electric cars, electric trains, electric stoves, internet, and smart apps suddenly don't work. A week without power and everybody would be covered in sh*t and starving.
@@Willdarts Green house air pollution reduction is why electrification is good. That being said, I'm realistic about things. Everything you said is pretty much spot on. Unless we go big on nuclear power, we just won't have enough as you noted. Many in the "electrify everything" crowd are either blase on nuclear or flat out against it. These types will invariably spout some variation of "solar and wind is enough with battery storage bro" not realizing that our battery storage tech isn't nearly ready for such a scale of usage, or that we likely won't have enough lithium to even make such speculative super batteries a reality for an entire nation, much less the world.
I love the immediate confusion and sarcasm with the line "this idea from 1888 was first conceived of by Elon Musk in 2012".

Holy crap Adam, that last part about Hyperloop being just a scheme to sabotage a high speed train makes everything about the project makes sense. I have a short story for you with my personal experience on why I know that Elon Musk had no intention at any time to be involved on the Hyperloop Project…
Between 2016 and 2017 while I was studying Physics at the University I was invited by a friend to be part of the university’s team for the Hyperloop pod competition, apparently they where mostly Engineers and the wanted at least two team members who could be the experts on the theoretical part of the design. In any case I was young and didn’t know that Musk was a con artist at that time, so I was really proud of this invitation.
But you might ask, what was the Hyperloop pod competition? Well it was SpaceX telling universities to “do the hard work for us so we can take the credit at the end”. That’s right, our communication with SpaceX was minimal, and we basically had to make them a pod for their Hyperloop from scratch.
We successfully passed the first round but got eliminated on the second. But I was still so proud at the time that I even put the proyect on my resume (you can guess if that got me any jobs… nah).
But you want to know a really funny thing I just found out because of your video? You mentioned Delft Hyperloop from the Technical University of Delft building their own version of one, well Delft Hyperloop was the team that won the January 2017 round of the competition. So my guess is that SpaceX said “good job, you win, here is a cookie” and then left without any followup…
So my guess is that the people at Delft got so frustrated that decided to take the matter into the wrong hands lol
Didn't he openly say from the start that he wouldn't be involved, but was just throwing the idea out there? I'm confused why this part is being talked about like a revelation - I remember hearing that fact at the same time that I first heard about the idea.
@@yuotueb to be fair, the boss or owner of a company is rarely involved on the day to day. What is surprising to me is SpaceX’s seeming disinterest in it after promoting it themselves
Yep. And while definitely not the cause of all CAHSR’s issues, neither it, nor NIMBYs in central California hasn’t done anything to help the project finish quicker more affordably
The best part about this video was hearing that despite Elon's best efforts, California's high speed rail is still alive and being built.

It still gets me that the majority of hyperloop vehicles are designed to look aerodynamic. Isn't the purpose of the hyperloop to remove all of the air to reduce drag? You don't need a futuristic looking death rocket to get the job done, a simple cylinder is all you need.
It doesn't even have to be a cylinder. It could actually be a cuboid(or any other shape), if you so wanted. But in the case of a cuboid(or any other shape), you would have to install a ring around it at either end.
But yeah, like you said, unless it is travelling through our open atmosphere, there is no need for it to be aerodynamic.
It's still a pressure vessel, it needs to be rounded on both ends
I think it has to do with the fact that a “real vacuum” in such large tubes is just impossible or at least outside of todays technological abilities. You can evacuate parts of the air but there will still be some left thus there’s air drag inside the tube. Hence the need for an aerodynamic design.
@@TheRandomAustralian With only 1 atmosphere of pressure differential it doesn't need to be round unless you were making the shell really thin. The ISS has cylinder modules and they are constantly undergoing the same pressure differential that would be seen on the cabin of the vessel.
@@michaelsmyk I honestly have a hard time imagining any meaningful gains for an aerodynamic design even if there was some air left in the tube. This is because the tube walls and the sides of the car are too close together in every hyperloop presentation I've seen. It's a little difficult to explain unless you've taken a fluid dynamics class, but essentially if you move two objects past each other in a fluid you can create a turbulent flow between the two objects depending on the speed of the objects and how close together they are. Turbulent flows cause increased friction. So any gains from the rocket like shape would be made moot by the increased air friction between the tube walls and the fast moving car. Gases are a little different from liquids in that they are compressible, but the fundamentals of the dynamics are similar.
Adam, thank you for reminding me about my provincial government, Alberta, announcing funding for a Hyperloop between Edmonton and Calgary earlier this year. Never mind that government funding that isn't tied to Oil & Gas has been cut, or that there's a moratorium on funding for renewable energy; we need bullshit maglev trains!
i still think Dubai should invest in my super sonic escalator idea. it's like a regular escalator, but flat, and more lethal

Not to mention that you need a vacuum pump every 100 meters which must be running 24/7 and thus cannot run on solar power (no sun during night) or wind energy (must run even when there is no wind). Alone the power to run those pumps require more energy than an electric trains requires to actually ride that distance on conventional tracks, except that the train only requires the energy when driving but again, the pumps must run 24/7, since if they don't, the vacuum will quickly be lost and rebuilding it would take many hours, even more energy than maintaining it, and nothing could be driving during that time.
Can't you just, say, for example, weld each wall segment to the next, and make it 25 meters thick? Sure, it would be insanely expensive, but I think it should reduce the air leakage somewhat.
The vacuum pumps would not have to continuously run. this is nonsense. Sealing large pipelines for miles isn't that complicated and has been done, even in areas with terrible soil and flexible pipe connections for decades, 1 atmosphere isn't a lot of pressure (or vacuum) comparatively. It's about 25% of residential water pressure. Water pipe is about as mature a technology as railways.
@@stefanmiller8131Have you ever seen a real vacuum chamber? Have you seen how thick the walls and any piece of isolation is? The walls of any hyperloop plan ever available are way thinner and you want to run moving objects through it, you want to board people on those objects and those objects should be able to take variable turns. Even Elon himself admitted that you needed that many pumps but he said it's no problem, as he can run them on solar power, which is nonsense, as this tube is constantly losing vacuum, the entire concept makes this unavoidable, so the pumps would run at night and adding a ton of batteries to the mix makes an unready financial insane project even more insane, as batteries to operate an electric train the same distance would be way less expensive to produce and maintain.
I always wondered how the capsules were supposed to "float on a cushion of air" in a vacuum.
The first functional steam train was invented in 1804. The first commercially viable cargo rail line was opened in 1812. That’s 8 years from working prototype to actual product. In a time where people still thought the world was 6000 years old and wiped their ass with their hands
I think you're mixing a couple of thing up there, but your point stands. It's ALMOST as if, ALMOST, these people are all bullshit artists and scammers who don't actually have to produce what they say they will.
Those latter two pieces i'm pretty sure are rather recent developments. Up until around the 1900s, people knew full well the world was spherical, too and didn't really question it.
Remember, Columbus was derided because everybody knew his numbers were wrong and there was no way he could sail all the way to China going west with then available shipping tech. He just happened to luck out and find land before his crew starved to death. If it wasn't for the Americas, he'd simply have been an idiot who got three ships worth of people killed.
@@Llortnerof I said they thought the world was 6000 years old, not flat. With so much less science, technology, and education they still managed to get a revolutionary new product onto market within 8 years of prototype. These hyperloop scammers have infinite resources but still can’t “revolutionize” transportation.
I think your point stands but rail transport as an idea starts much earlier than 1804! People had been working on plateways from the late 1700s, these developed into the first railed transport in mines and industrial complexes.
The flushing toilet was invented in the 1500s, so people were generally not wiping their ass with their hand and the age of the world being 6000 years old was thought up by an Anglican bishop in the 17th c. to attempt to discredit the Roman church's assertion that the world was much older!
By that token, vacuurail or air cushion rail is quite an old idea. So are pods. So far as I know, aside from elevated cable cars, their is one university somewhere with a functioning pod system.
After all his years of living in the America, Elon should've understood that there was no need to sabotage the high speed rail project in California. High speed rail sabotages itself in the land of the free.
sadly yes
ohh hyperloop could be really useful
let's just make the system a lot smaller maybe with each pod 10cm long and maybe reduce the vacuum to maybe low air pressure and we have an excellent post system

I have an idea. Instead of propelling pods with air pressure and a vacuum, he could add a motor to each one, perhaps electric. Then, since the vacuum chamber adds a lot of issues, just remove it, and place the pods on top of some metal lines, that they can automatically follow. And finally, to make it more efficient, he could attach lots of pods together, and just have an engine in one of them to push/pull the whole lot

I remember seeing hyperloop hype years ago and thinking how they gona maintain the vacuum as i worked with gravity vac autoclaves and knew that maintaining 30 mb in 4 cubic meters requires a powerful pump running almost constantly making them very energy intensive before considering the heating part of the autoclave cycle and the various seals on those things were always blowing out some lasted weeks others months they had to be made to such high tolerances that you often had to send a couple back to the manufacturer for being DOA they were cool about it though you’d get replacements the next day and hopefully you’d find one perfect one and the rest would go back to be refined, it only took a microscopic piece of debris to ruin the seal. So when i heard “vacuum tube between cities + maglev train” I envisioned a big tube encased in vacuum pumps each drawing 300 watts and wandered have i missed something turns out I hadn’t and in fact there many more impossible obstacles i hadn’t considered too
I like what you had to say, but please consider using punctuation next time.

Can't we just start with a comprehensive, affordable, and accommodating mass transit system first. Other countries have already accomplished this. I know the U.S. is huge, but we had steam trains reaching across the entire country in the past, it can't be that hard.
The technology of implementing and maintaining railroads isn't hard. It's the political, social, and economies of scale issues that are difficult.
Politically you have to deal with forcibly taking peoples homes to build rail systems that fundamentally cannot service their area without making the system so inefficient nobody will use it. These issues were solved during the initial railroad and highway construction when we cared less about forcing poor people out of their homes, i doubt we would, and should, be so willing today. You also have to deal with Native American lands. We were more willing to ignore treaties in the past but again we would, and should, not be as willing today.
Socially there is a large portion of Americans that have no interest in passenger rail and convincing them will be very difficult. without their buy-in the rail system you could build would not be practical enough to get people using it inn numbers sufficient to sustain itself.
Economies of scale require you get a high enough ridership to support the thing through ticket sales or have enough public support to keep it funded through the government. Without these the financial constraints will ensure it cant survive as a legit source of transportation when compared with cars.
if only there were huge corridors of government controlled land crisscrossing the county connecting everywhere anyone wants to go.
