No1 - Achieving and maintaining a vacuum (No leaks anywhere EVER!). The best compromise they'll have is a partial vacuum for reduced air resistance. No2 - No earthquake areas only suitable. No3 - Requires huge amounts of energy to run pumps & maglev. Not cheap or low carbon footprint. No4 - How will they board train without either having highly efficient airlocks or sealed-off boarding areas? With the number of different doors or sealed-off stations at several stations on a daily working line, the risks of depressurization accidents rises exponentially. They're also talking about putting people's automobiles on these things. The complexity of maintaining a vacuum becomes in my opinion unreasonable. No5 - Must keep vacuum under certain tor to avoid catastrophic implosions. No6 - If under ground how will they access the train if there is a problem and it's stuck between stations? Will they need to also build access & maintenance tunnels? If above ground they will need to protect the tube(s) from any impacts or vastly different temperatures. In any case the entire vacuum would be lost if an access portal were to be opened, requiring huge amounts of time to reactuate the vacuum. Ever seen how long it takes to get a decent vacuum in even a small vacuum chamber? Imagine doing that for a 3 meter wide 500 mile tube!! Personally I think there are far too many problems for it to ever become practical. In addition, it's ALWAYS at least 2-3 times more expensive to construct, run & maintain than touted by the promoters. Elon Musk's boring costs are NOT much cheaper than other companies for example. Finally, Elon did NOT invent or come up with the idea of a vacuum tube form of transportation. That's been around for more than a century. Even the maglev "hyperloop" idea was immediately considered after it's first inception decades before Elon even got his start.
I mean, what did you expect... they mentioned the dynamic tower in dubai (which is only a concept presented years ago) and proceeded to show the evolution tower in russia...
@Kifwoo Here's one way the science doesn't work. The video mentioned you would be transporting up to 10 000 people an hour. Let's assume that that is both ways. That is still 5000 people, one way, per hour. The prototype pod designs I've seen so far average around 24 people in a pod, but let's be generous again and say you can get 50 people in a single pod. That would still be 100 pods every hour or one pod every 36 seconds. Let that sink in for a second. pods, doing more than 1200km/h, spaced only 36 seconds apart. Today we need more spacing than that on vehicles that go far slower, just to ensure they can stop in time if something does happen in front. The estimates I have seen so far vary a little, but it looks like you'll be able to transport roughly around 2000, maybe 2500 people an hour through the hyperloop, making it a transportation system for the rich and few. While a regular train, that is slower, can take more than 10 times that amount of passengers without issue.
@Kifwoo That's not what the 2 second rule in a car is about. If you are on a highway and you manage to stop your car in 2 seconds, you've slammed into something. The 2 second rule exists to compensate for your reaction time. If the car in front of you hits the brakes, you need about 1 second to register that event and start the action of braking yourself. That's why you should keep at least 2 seconds distance from the car in front of you. The 2 second rule is NOT related to stopping distance what so ever. And yes, a train with steel wheels on steel tracks has a maximum deceleration of 1.2m/s². What the max deceleration for a hyperloop is going to be? We don't know. And larger pods? We call that trains, and those do not fit into the view of Hyperloop that promised is quick and easy pods that would take us directly to the station nearest to our destination with a pod ready to go almost every minute. The larger the pod, the more time those pods will lose on (dis)embarking passengers and thus keeping the platforms occupied, but also the less likely that you will get a denser network of stations in cities so you can go from A to B directly without having to change as you have with public transport today. Or think about it another way: if Musk was so sure about Hyperloop, why isn't he investing in it? He made the hype 7 years ago but today, it is quiet. Even with The Boring Company he went from aiming for an underground Hyperloop, to Loop with pods to Loop with Tesla cars. He knows that it will still take decades before we can solve all the issues and maybe make it a commercially viable enterprise.

Building a hyperloop between two cities some 90 minutes apart seems a bit overkill. A conventional HSR train can cover the same distance in half hour or less. Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to build a hyperloop to replace longer distances, one that is normally covered by a commercial airliner? Also one of the concept design shows passengers sitting in forward and reverse facing seats. I would think it would make more sense to have all of them facing forward considering the acceleration that the passengers will be subjected to.
Given that in any pipe leak incident they would likely be subjected to *sudden* deceleration, ...no I don't think that acceleration is our biggest worry here.
Title says "Inside Dubai's $22 Billion Dollar Hyperloop" 1. At no point is anything "inside" shown. 2. It isn't a 22 Billion Dollar Project, but 22 Billion Dinars accoring to the video. Hyperloop is defined in the video as a train in a tube running in a vacuum. Video says a section will be running by the end of 2020 - that is close. They should be running the system in now, with real people inside real "pods" to fix teething problems. But in reality, we don't know of a single tube having been built yet, or anything about "pods". The video says 750mph - in vacuum. That is pointless. 300mph in air will still make a 30minute journey from Dubai to Abu Dhabi - in any case you still have to get in and out of pods, and get to your final destination, the 15minutes saved between 750mph and 300mph is a multi-billion dollar folly.

I think it would be a problem but not too much to overcome after all on the international space station they have to change pressure when they go in and out so something like that could work
@@joelcairns8375 even small airlocks are quite slow. When talking about an airlock that would fit a train inside, you are looking at tens of minutes of pumping the air out (remember that 12 min travel time). Of course you could keep the train in the vacum at stations and make a seal around the doors, but really thats the least of your worries. What you should worry about is thermal expansion. If you build your tube out of steel, say 100km long,temperature change from 0C to 60C will change the length of the tube by approximately 80m. Also, the top of the tube is exposed to direct sunlight while the bottom is more or less in shade. This may cause some deforming, which may lead to sudden collapse of the tube. The structure would also become the largest vacuum chamber in the world, and would most likely suffer from leaks (I mean, we seemingly can't even build oilpipes that wouldn't leak) and therefore would require continuous pumping. But, at the moment there is absolutely no working prototype of the hyperloop. In all the shown footage the "hyperloop" was pushed by what is essentially a small electric car, or rolling on wheels and stopping because of friction.
@@elmeriseppinen I seriously doubt they could make seals around the doors work. But, if they make the airlocks just a little bigger than the pods, there's not much air that needs to be removed, so maybe it would only take a couple of minutes. But it is not providing condifence when they don't show any real stuff.
If Elon Musk won't even touch it (his Boring Company is not making a hyperloop, contrary to what the video says), how can Richard Branson, a billionaire turned millionaire that has been failing for decades in all his business ventures and has no technical expertise of his own, be anything but a scam?
One single word comes to my mind listening to this video: Theranos. If its too good to be true, it most likely is. They don't even have proof of concept at scale. This is literally a hype train.
Yes, and if your boss doesn't like you for some reason he can confiscate your passport and stop paying you without having to worry for justice. And all those workers who build that stuff, treated like sub humans. So cool.

Elon revived the idea of hyperloop but didn't invent it. For my own, I've read about the concept when I was a teenager in the 80s in a French science magazine titled "Sciences et Vie (Sciences and Life). It was the same idea as the hyperloop and it was supposed to link New York city and Los Angeles
Can we just for a second, talk about how at the end he talked about a spinning tower in dubai, but showed a tower that is located in moscow, russia, that dosnt even spin
@@cmarentis No, Thunderf00t debunked the concept on assumptions. Sure, the way Elon has presented the idea is with flaws. But Thunderf00t assumed the tube would have to be emptied before each ride. And he complained about a bit of rust. Build a mag lev train as the Japanese, ride it in a tube with 0.3 bar pressure. That would be a valid idea. You don't need to go full 0 bars. Thunderf00t is right most of the time, just not in this case.
Here are some laws of physics not safe to defy: •At 750mph, a pod/cart cannot EVER land/touch a track, such as infinate levitaion on these express lanes (Mag-Flight! not Mag-lev or that fast with Mag-Net) •In a tunnel, there must be a ally path/tubes adjacent for construction workers to render or passager evacuations. •high vacuum of air will cause heat build up on outer surface of the pods/craft (like a re-entry into Earth atmospher). •emergeny oxygen mask, like on airplanes will acquire on Hyperloop/Virgin. •pod-in-pod passenger chambers in outer craft frame, will aquire for tilt G-force & reduced risk on crackes & leak of air.

That's a bull statement to make Elon had the idea first, wanting to travel in Vacuum tubes has been proposed for a long time, for the fact that it will be super cumbersome to maintain is why it has not been built yet. Basic Technical issue: First create a vacuum and ensure the tube holds the seal, Second: make sure the capsule vehicle holds pressure from the inside and no leaks, third: Keep people alive inside and hope the capsule never fails inside and the vacuum sucks out all the breathing air and kills people.
A few problems... How are you accounting for expansion during the warm day versus contraction on the cold nights? Bad enough in temperate climates but Saudi Arabia is notorious for brutal heat during the day and almost ice like cold at night. You know, being a desert and all. Over the length, it'll amount to requiring very flimsy gas seals at the intersections. Also, the upper surface will be under direct sunlight and will expand at at different rate to the underside of the tube which will be in the shade. I mean, your snazzy CGI movie shows a continuous length but in reality, it can't be manufactured like that. It will have to be in sections and those sections will require gas seals. What happens when one of of those seals breaks and the vacuum sucks in a metric ton worth of air which slams into an oncoming train? That's a few tons worth of lightweight, composite train traveling at the speed of sound hitting a metric ton of air, also traveling at the speed of sound, in a head-on collision... It would be anarchy. Real wrath of God type stuff. We're talking, "picking up" bodies with buckets and sponges. These are just some of the very real problems these kinds of systems face and I'm willing to bet none of you so-called "engineers" have even bothered to address them. Hell, the idea of trains traveling in vacuums is over 100 years old. There is a very good reason it still hasn't been done today though. Still, having said all that, if the Saudi's want to piss their money up the wall only to have an epic, global news coverage type accident where a lot of people die, let them.
Presumably the same way they deal with gas and oil pipes... expansion joints. The upper surface meanwhile if you read the Alpha proposal (which you haven't) is meant to be covered by solar panels running across the top of the tubes the entire length of the system. As to chance of a catastrophic vacuum breach, there will be pressure relief valves every few hundred meters or so, so any release of pressure will not be the doomsday scenario you are suggesting because there are people much much smarter than you.. and much richer who have thought about these things. But don't worry... keep the Thunderf00t grift going... I mean that guys a genius with all his inventions such as... oh wait... he's never invented anything in his life.
Real engineers realised that it was COMPLETE AND UTTER BOLLOCKS in the first place. It's the childlike adulation of celebrity LUNATICS like Elon Musk to blame for its popularity. Anyway, it's March 2022 and Virgin Hyperloop just laid off half its staff. It can't be long until they shut it down completely now and it'll be the fitting end fir this IMBECILIC FANTASY !
Furthermore, since you are in a vacuum, engineers need to find a way to provide continuous oxygen for its passengers. Also how would they maintain a vacuum seal when passengers get on and off?
Elon Musk did not start Tesla. He was a risk capital investor that bought into the company after its creation and after the first concepts of the roadster were already designed and in prototyping.... He did start SpaceX though.

Title says "Inside Dubai's $22 Billion Dollar Hyperloop"
1. At no point is anything "inside" shown.
2. It isn't a 22 Billion Dollar Project, but 22 Billion Dinars accoring to the video.
Hyperloop is defined in the video as a train in a tube running in a vacuum.
Video says a section will be running by the end of 2020 - that is close.
They should be running the system in now, with real people inside real "pods" to fix teething problems.
But in reality, we don't know of a single tube having been built yet, or anything about "pods".
The video says 750mph - in vacuum.
That is pointless. 300mph in air will still make a 30minute journey from Dubai to Abu Dhabi - in any case you still have to get in and out of pods, and get to your final destination, the 15minutes saved between 750mph and 300mph is a multi-billion dollar folly.
To reach the 10 minutes mark for monitization requirement Richest had to include about Burj Khalifa and other topics

Traveling in and out of a near vacuum will cause too many problems for the hyperloop to overcome.
Precisely, I was wondering about the transition..You have links to any further reading material about problems that it could encounter?
I think it would be a problem but not too much to overcome after all on the international space station they have to change pressure when they go in and out so something like that could work
Or like divers leaving submarines I guess because there you want to keep the water out
@@joelcairns8375 even small airlocks are quite slow. When talking about an airlock that would fit a train inside, you are looking at tens of minutes of pumping the air out (remember that 12 min travel time). Of course you could keep the train in the vacum at stations and make a seal around the doors, but really thats the least of your worries.
What you should worry about is thermal expansion. If you build your tube out of steel, say 100km long,temperature change from 0C to 60C will change the length of the tube by approximately 80m. Also, the top of the tube is exposed to direct sunlight while the bottom is more or less in shade. This may cause some deforming, which may lead to sudden collapse of the tube.
The structure would also become the largest vacuum chamber in the world, and would most likely suffer from leaks (I mean, we seemingly can't even build oilpipes that wouldn't leak) and therefore would require continuous pumping.
But, at the moment there is absolutely no working prototype of the hyperloop. In all the shown footage the "hyperloop" was pushed by what is essentially a small electric car, or rolling on wheels and stopping because of friction.
@@elmeriseppinen I seriously doubt they could make seals around the doors work.
But, if they make the airlocks just a little bigger than the pods, there's not much air that needs to be removed, so maybe it would only take a couple of minutes. But it is not providing condifence when they don't show any real stuff.

Elon revived the idea of hyperloop but didn't invent it. For my own, I've read about the concept when I was a teenager in the 80s in a French science magazine titled "Sciences et Vie (Sciences and Life). It was the same idea as the hyperloop and it was supposed to link New York city and Los Angeles
It was first conceptualised in 1799 in Britain.
It was in a picture book when I was in the 1st grade in the 80s. That one had a under-sea tunnel going from North America to Europe.
Can we just for a second, talk about how at the end he talked about a spinning tower in dubai, but showed a tower that is located in moscow, russia, that dosnt even spin

@@cmarentis No, Thunderf00t debunked the concept on assumptions.
Sure, the way Elon has presented the idea is with flaws. But Thunderf00t assumed the tube would have to be emptied before each ride. And he complained about a bit of rust.

@@akyhne ok, go on the very first ride in the hyperloop if it is even ever built. Don't forget to write your will in advance 😆
Here are some laws of physics not safe to defy:
•At 750mph, a pod/cart cannot EVER land/touch a track, such as infinate levitaion on these express lanes (Mag-Flight! not Mag-lev or that fast with Mag-Net)
•In a tunnel, there must be a ally path/tubes adjacent for construction workers to render or passager evacuations.
•high vacuum of air will cause heat build up on outer surface of the pods/craft (like a re-entry into Earth atmospher).
•emergeny oxygen mask, like on airplanes will acquire on Hyperloop/Virgin.
•pod-in-pod passenger chambers in outer craft frame, will aquire for tilt G-force & reduced risk on crackes & leak of air.

ThunderF00t called this vaporware out 5yrs ago, thankfully I went with the science guy and not with the Hype guy...
Not even the CGI looks good. Still the same like 5 years ago.
That's a bull statement to make Elon had the idea first, wanting to travel in Vacuum tubes has been proposed for a long time, for the fact that it will be super cumbersome to maintain is why it has not been built yet. Basic Technical issue: First create a vacuum and ensure the tube holds the seal, Second: make sure the capsule vehicle holds pressure from the inside and no leaks, third: Keep people alive inside and hope the capsule never fails inside and the vacuum sucks out all the breathing air and kills people.
'8 years later and the best they can do is still ''promise'' :D
The last time I traveled there, and have not seen any kind of news or construction for it.....
A few problems... How are you accounting for expansion during the warm day versus contraction on the cold nights? Bad enough in temperate climates but Saudi Arabia is notorious for brutal heat during the day and almost ice like cold at night. You know, being a desert and all. Over the length, it'll amount to requiring very flimsy gas seals at the intersections. Also, the upper surface will be under direct sunlight and will expand at at different rate to the underside of the tube which will be in the shade.
I mean, your snazzy CGI movie shows a continuous length but in reality, it can't be manufactured like that. It will have to be in sections and those sections will require gas seals. What happens when one of of those seals breaks and the vacuum sucks in a metric ton worth of air which slams into an oncoming train? That's a few tons worth of lightweight, composite train traveling at the speed of sound hitting a metric ton of air, also traveling at the speed of sound, in a head-on collision... It would be anarchy. Real wrath of God type stuff. We're talking, "picking up" bodies with buckets and sponges.
These are just some of the very real problems these kinds of systems face and I'm willing to bet none of you so-called "engineers" have even bothered to address them. Hell, the idea of trains traveling in vacuums is over 100 years old. There is a very good reason it still hasn't been done today though.
Still, having said all that, if the Saudi's want to piss their money up the wall only to have an epic, global news coverage type accident where a lot of people die, let them.
Agree with your comment and Saudis pissing money. But these aren’t Saudis. It’s Emiratis pissing money 😂
Presumably the same way they deal with gas and oil pipes... expansion joints. The upper surface meanwhile if you read the Alpha proposal (which you haven't) is meant to be covered by solar panels running across the top of the tubes the entire length of the system.
As to chance of a catastrophic vacuum breach, there will be pressure relief valves every few hundred meters or so, so any release of pressure will not be the doomsday scenario you are suggesting because there are people much much smarter than you.. and much richer who have thought about these things. But don't worry... keep the Thunderf00t grift going... I mean that guys a genius with all his inventions such as... oh wait... he's never invented anything in his life.
Real engineers realised that it was COMPLETE AND UTTER BOLLOCKS in the first place. It's the childlike adulation of celebrity LUNATICS like Elon Musk to blame for its popularity. Anyway, it's March 2022 and Virgin Hyperloop just laid off half its staff. It can't be long until they shut it down completely now and it'll be the fitting end fir this IMBECILIC FANTASY !
Furthermore, since you are in a vacuum, engineers need to find a way to provide continuous oxygen for its passengers. Also how would they maintain a vacuum seal when passengers get on and off?
@@npc2480 The pods you ride in will be sealed, but then will presumably pass through an airlock at the station.
