That's a good point. I wouldn't want to live in the city, especially with rising housing prices, if I could live further away and still get to work in the same amount of time it used to take.
Nothing wrong with that! Take Denver for example. Trying living intown and the housing market is easily 500k for a 2 bedroom 1000sqft condo. Small bungalow houses (same sq footage, approx 1000sqft) in intown Denver neighborhoods are 675k to 1.5 m. It's almost impossible to live there. Even in smaller towns/suburban areas of metro Denver are thru the roof. If you could live in Wyoming and get a bigger house for 150k-200k and could commute to Denver in 12 mins, that works for some people. Not that want to live in Wyoming so maybe not the best example but you get my point...maybe?
That's a nice idea, then quit work at 16:00 and go to your 2nd appartment where you arrive at 11:00 because it's in a different timezone and you basically have a day off. Only problem is everyone is going to be bald when the hair grows in the opposite direction during timetravel.

Some showstoppers: 1) Thermal expansion/contraction of tubes. 2) Compensate long range earth surface movement. 3) Getting people out a tube once a shuttle has trouble. 4) Oxygen supply and safety tank in case shuttle is midway two stations and stuck. 5) pressure build-up inside passenger compartment due to breathing passengers. 6) Air shock-waves through long tubes 7) Condensed water removal at cold spots, which prevents to achieve vacuum. 8) Volatile removal (grease/oil/solvents) 9) deterioration of sealings. 10) Vacuum pump maintenance.
Musk is great because he encourages other people to build on his idea, rather than trying to keep it all for his own glory. Need many more people like that if we want to progress as a society ( we do live in a society ).
His willingness to give away the idea is to be paired and we certainly need more people like that. But hyperloop is a non starter, it replicates all the problems with space travel for hundreds of times the cost and convenience of a train

Oh please. Yeah Musk is not about personal glory. What a crock. Is that why he renamed a 100-year-old plus idea as his own? The Hyperloop is pure snake oil.
The first mistake is giving Elon the inventor's title for this idea. Travelling in a module through low pressure tubes has been conceptualized and discussed for almost a 100 years now. It's just been given a new name. Second mistake: Assuming that it will be reality anytime in the near future.
Exactly, Musk is just a sociopath and massive BSer that hasn't invented anything. As in, he hasn't even invented stealing from Nikola Tesla... The only thing Musk is good at is deceptive marketing at a massive scale. Luckily the facts are catching up with him... he's lost yet another court case for deceiving tesla customers just the other day.
Third mistake: not just building high-speed rail which has existed for over 50 years and is far cheaper, far more efficient, and far easier to maintain than hyperloop
You mean the bugs are worked out and massive deaths are eliminated. No other form of high speed travel has been free of human screwups and the Hyperloop will be no exception.
at high speeds, would any irrecularities /warping /bumps in the straightness of the rail, be more pronounced? I worry that the pod could bump or lift off the rail or smash against the sides of the tube. But Ive not really studied engineering - I suppose the mag -lev could account for movement or self stabalise? i wonder how fast a train on rails can go? rails look precarious but they seem to have been ok so far.
@@katzunjammer on rails a train has gone 360mph on a TEST but, if your looking to take a high-speed train in Europe or Asia then they only go around 220
Hyperloop will never in the history of mankind become a thing. A long vacuum tube will forever be deadly. Even if we become a galactic species it will still not gonna be a thing. Elon Musk is scamming millions of idiots.
Because it’s become obvious all these startups were just selling vaporware to investors with no real understanding of the engineering. This is evidenced by all these companies failing and never presenting any concrete ideas for who all the problems with this approach could be overcome.
"Theoretically, a sudden influx of air into one of the tubes would simply slow the pods down" Yes, from 750 miles per hour to 200 miles per hour in the blink of an eye, equal to hitting a solid concrete wall at 550mph. Not only would no one survive, deciding which heads, limbs and internal organs belonged to which passenger would be a nightmare ;p

A very informative video update! I worked for the Rand Corporation 1980-86. Attended class in Princeton N.J. for three months each year. They developed the underground tube-shuttle system still in operation today connecting the underground military bases around the world. Thank You for Your work.
The time lapse of the airport towards the end of the video is quite interesting as the incoming flights have little deviation in path. That's a subtle yet awesome reminder of computer assistance and its role in transportation.
the idea was not "first conceived by Musk", the first actual functional hyperloop was build in 1872 by Alred Beach. It was called the Beach Pneumatic Transit.
Also in New York, I believe, they had a vacuum sucked Victorian underground train that sucked people through a tunnel from here to...there. Maybe I am thinking of the same thing, I just don't have anything but a childhood memory hearing about it. The part I recall is the luxurious train compartment, Pullman style.
@@paulaharrisbaca4851 It was a demonstration tunnel that went about a block, then came back. Neat idea - but it wasn't hyperloop. The car (I think there was only one carriage, not a train) didn't operate in a hard vacuum, but instead acted as a piston. The station would increase or decrease the air pressure in the tunnel to push or pull the car. NYC didn't go for it. The tunnel was sealed up, rediscovered, and then demolished. The scene in Ghostbusters II where they broke into it was actually City Hall Station, I believe, which is funny since City Hall Station is where the old tunnel originally was.
It's been three years now and not a lot of progress with the hyperloop and with the underwhelming failure of the Vegas loop, this transportation concept now seems more like a hype that would not get any results while China and Japan have made a lot of their goals in maglev trains that can now reach to up to 600km/h.
It's quite upsetting, given the quality of B1M's content that they gave HyperLoop this sort of press without dealving into the feasibility of the project. The concept is certainly physically possible, that is not in doubt, the problem is, is it feasible over any serious/useful distances without serious roadblocks what would explode its cost to build and maintain. Just consider the challenge of maintaining and creating the vacuum over such distances, let alone if the vacuum fails during use. At speed such a failure would mean insta-death for anyone inside one of these pods. As for the likely-hood of such failure, the longer the tube the greater the failure risk. For one, a pressurized tube in the vacuum of space is nothing compared to a vacuum under the pressure of the atmosphere.
The video covered the possibility of vacuum failure, and I was satisfied with Virgin's explanation that it would just slow down the train, not result in "insta-death for anyone inside". But I do agree that the video ignored the energy costs of maintaining vacuum when talking about how little energy the loops would actually use for _propulsion._ When it comes to the "insta-death" thing, I was a lot more worried about the possibility of someone crashing into a tube and then the train colliding with the break. However, it seems like the raised, seismically engineered supports should reduce that risk down to pretty much just intentional terrorism (or acts of war), and not normal accidents.
I have more problem with the lack of research about giving proper credit for the concept. This isn't Musk's concept. The video is a fail from the start.
@@gabbar51ngh still isn't feasible. If you ever worked with vacuum equipment you'd know what a fucking hurdle it is to keep even a small vacuum chamber under low pressure for an extended amount of time.

No, France is not building any hyperloops. In fact, no one is building hyperloops, it's all a scam. but France _does_ build high-sped rail lines, as well as subways and light rail lines, and is upgrading its existing rail infrastructure, all of which is sensible and stuff the US would do well to copy.
I always had nightmares of this from when I was a kid. Trapped in a super high speed tube with dead eyed people who look like they are brain dead and I was the only one who was aware of what was happening.
I'd be afraid to ride on it, coming up to a wall, and the thing won't slow down, and with airplane force power slam into the concrete and destroy everything. Yeah, it seems a little unsafe considering it can leak and the pressurization suddenly drops while a train is going.
I love that picture at 1:19 "Hey, is there a reason why they buildt the Golden Gate Bridge with such a high clearance?" "Cant think of one. Lets build our own bridge right next to it, much closer to the surface." Such things do not make me confident in the thought process behind all this.

@@johndexter8487 I cant tell if this is sarcastic or not. I will answer as if its not. The Golden Gate is a straight that connects the pacific ocean with the bay of San Francisco. The bridge is named after the straight. That straight sees a huge percentage of he total US market in imported and exported goods. The Port of Oakland alone is the fifth busiest container port in the United States. Thus the bridge was built as tall as it is to accommodate the worlds largest ships. The concrete structure in the picture would clearly block the main channel and the large ships would no longer be able to pass.

Only a dozen each run? How can it compete with even flight? The magnet rail and vacuum tube will cost times more than traditional HSR. 10 times more than normal train. And 1/20 of overall throughput. Unless it charges 5times flight ticket price, it won't even cover operating cost.
*_"Hyperloop was first conceived in 2012 by Elon Musk"_* No it wasn't. The "Hyperloop" _brand_ might have been but the original concept of transporting people this way goes back to the early 1970s.
@@o.b.9781 Maybe so but it's a stunt. The numbers simply don't stack up. There's no way these things will ever be cost competitive with conventional rail or flying. A vacuum tube is good for moving cash around a shop but not much good for people.
The original concept was first patented in 1799 in Britain - so Musk's claim that he invented the concept is beyond absurd. It's never been built because the engineering will be extraordinarily challenging and expensive and the safety issues are virtually insurmountable. This will never be economically viable - it's in the same category as personal rocket packs and flying cars.
When I was younger, I asked my dad why those pipelines (they're for hot water for heating here) have those big U turns that seemed to be useless. He explained to me, that due to temperature changes the metal tubes extend and getting longer. To prevent anything from breaking, these U turns give the tubes the ability to bend a little and not cause demage at where they are ending. How does Hyperloop deal with that, cause to me looks like the exact same problem?
i noticed that all the cities appear to be relatively the same longitude... wondered about temperature fluctuations, then wondered what they're going to do about global warming... and EARTHQUAKES. We didn't used to live in an earthquake zone, but since they've been fracking the CRAP out of the ground not far from us, our doorways all have massive cracks in them from the earthquakes that we just KEEP HAVING, and then they move the fracking to a better site(closer to someone elses house, lol- spread that "wealth").

The "Hyperloop" has been debunked. It is probably the best example of Elon Musk's incredible talent for proposing meritless ideas and preying on the gullibility of the media and general public. It is astonishing how many people believe he is a genius solely because the mainstream media tells them he is. Also, a correction to your video: Elon Musk is not a founder of Tesla. It was founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors.
No matter the value you put to the word founder, he is business terminology, considered a co-founder of Tesla Motors. This is due to the company existing only on paper, without a prototype to show off, when he was approached, and put up the lionshare of funding, after being turned down by all regular car manufacturers, with some not even thinking Eberhart and Tarpenning was worth an answer to their requst for a meeting. In terminology all shareholders, that made the production of a prototype to base the companys business model on, are to be considered co-founders. With whoever came up with the idea, given the title of Original Founders and co-founders. Also hyperloop is not really debunked, the proop of concept worked. It however also showed that scaling it for business purposes, is currently not technologically viable. Just like landing orbital boosters was it in the late 60s and early 70s. With SpaceX being first to do the task, and now RocketLab comming inreasingly close.
@@Mrpersonman0 The "hyperloop" doesn't exist. It is in development at the moment and is showing absolutely no substantive progress due to many MANY engineering challenges that have been known about for a very long time. A train in a depressurised tube is a 200 year old idea with the first commercial line being opened in the mid 1800s.
Still, how is this supposed to work in practice? There has to be at least two "loops" at each destination since you can only travel at one direction for each loop. Then how many can actually fit inside one of the pods, and how many pods can you use at the same time without the risk of crashing into each other? How will they turn the pods around into the opposite direction without blocking the incoming tubes? How can you really made this efficient for the masses? Would it perhaps be more efficient with an actual loop? With no need to turn around since there won't be any end to the loop, it just goes around and around.
I started working in NY 200 years back when we made houses at Rock Central, IM SO HAPPY WE DIDNT cancel the PROJECT. I never thought I would see it finished in my life time- then again, I may no
I have Popular Science magazines (might be Mechanix Illustrated magazines) dating in the 1950s that were promising this sort of technology and I am still waiting... I hope it comes true but but i am pretty sceptical that it will be done in my lifetime. Environmental concerns, expensive land acquisition in urban areas and pressure from cheap priced airlines are pretty tough obstacles to overcome.
Evacuated tunnel ideas have returned several times already, yes. And while it's hard to say for sure if this time will be different from previous times, at the least each next time our technologies are more capable. So there the base principle of energy cost to move the 'train' through an evacuated tunnel is true. And thus in theory should allow for cheaper prices, so long as infrastructure costs aren't to excessive. The question becomes, can modern technology make the required infrastructure to run this system at a price point that doesn't destroy the cost savings gained for moving objects through an evacuated tunnel. Sadly we'll just have to wait and see if current technology can do it. The number of projects on it going on right now does make this seem like a pretty serious effort at making it work this time around. So perhaps some companies/engineers think it might be feasible this time.
If it's a futuristic thing depicted in Popular Science, Popular Mechanics or Mechanix Illustrated, it's almost a sure bet that it will never happen. Hahahaha!
Maybe Zoom video conference style tech, will overcome Hyperloop xportation, because the majority of people will be working from home, making it unnecessary..
Just to clarify The Dubai Abu Dhabi route Will be the first hyperloop route in the world Construction is estimated to begin between 2019-2020 The uae government already has prepared 7.5 billion usd for the project Edit To all the replies The uae government owns half of hyperloop one So it's kinda obvious that they be the first to implement the technology
And what will they use as devices? There are not even prototypes available. You want go from nothing to a working device which is tested in 2 years? Great idea. They test the next generation of light rail for Berlin for two years and that is not a completely new technology.
Reiner Jung wow, I didn't know people like you existed. What, do you only watch 1950's movies, read comic books, and play 20th century video games? Are you not intellectually curious in the least? How could you know none of this?
The Hyperloop technology is the one our world needs. In a globalizing and industrializing world like ours, we need to cut down the time we Need to go from A to B and the time our goods need from Production to our your home. Being able to travel from Germany to China in less than 5 hours or from Los Angeles to New York in less that 3 Hours not only brings us closer but gives us more time to be at a place instead of travel to a place.
The best thing about Hyperloop is that it's already obsolete. We already have maglev trains capable of carrying a thousand people going at speeds of almost 400 MPH.
maglev is not a successful technology, it's more of a dick-shaking (a combination of dick-measuring and saber-rattling) contest "look at what we have" - Germany, Japan and China have it, but it's completely uneconomical to operate - Bristol Brabazon, BEA/Air France Concord or the Tu-144 are an example of such from the past - but they don't stand anywhere near the orders of magnitude of (unwarranted) expenditures for maglev. Whenever I can I try to vote against such projects and for expansion of the normal public transportation to the smaller cities and villages, because public transportation and public services is what makes a country great, not some space launches, nuclear missiles or magnetically-suspended trains that nobody uses.
@@IvanDmitriev1 My guess you never went to Shanghai in 7 minutes 20 seconds for 30.5 km from inner city to airport at 431 kmh. But on the costs and profitability of Maglev and Concord you are correct. TGV and Shinkansen bullet trains are better, transport more people on one ride and are easier to implement on rails than Maglevs on magnetic rails.

Me posing questions: A) if there's a serious problem in the way, you're trapped in the vacuum tube, how do you get out? B) have you done the Math of how much energy you need to create a vacuum on such a big quantity of volume? I did, and it's enormous! And you'll have leaks on the joints.
I wonder about that too. Every transportation system has breakdowns, and people in NY's subway system have grown accustomed to endless waits or walks between stations. What happens when a hyperloop pod breaks down? Since there must be many pods in the tube at once in order to carry enough customers to make economic sense, there will be a big backup. So you just keep everybody there? Or you let air into the tube so people can walk out? Out to where? There would have to be escape areas at pretty frequent intervals to let everybody get back to the real world. And these escape areas themselves would have to have some sort of transportation connections. These and other safety considerations get very expensive, making an already economically doubtful system prohibitively expensive.
If you think about it for just a few minutes, there are endless problems. How do you get in and out of the pod? Each tube can only be one way of travel or have one pod in it. As you say, the power needed to create a meaningful vacuum is colossal. How strong will these tubes need to be? That will be expensive. Leaks, damage and environmental change, all problems.
no it would not, its all a scam.. here you go: th-cam.com/video/RNFesa01llk/w-d-xo.html and yeah if your not very smart that video will probably hurt your brain!.

The maglev train is scheduled to begin commercial operations between Tokyo and Nagoya around 2030. It has taken nearly 70 years since Japanese national railway started the research. I think Hyperloop may also take almost same decades of Japanese maglev train to begin commercial operations.
The maglev has already fixed the problem of levitation and propulsion for the hyperloop, and I think the tupes have fixed the problem of air pressure. It won't take as long as you think now, Elon's original idea of levitation would have though.

Oh please. Yeah Musk is not about personal glory. What a crock. Is that why he renamed a 100-year-old plus idea as his own? The Hyperloop is pure snake oil.
Musk has a name for it -- HYPErloop. His alternative name was VAPORloop but he felt that was too obvious.
The first mistake is giving Elon the inventor's title for this idea. Travelling in a module through low pressure tubes has been conceptualized and discussed for almost a 100 years now. It's just been given a new name.
Second mistake: Assuming that it will be reality anytime in the near future.

As in, he hasn't even invented stealing from Nikola Tesla...
The only thing Musk is good at is deceptive marketing at a massive scale. Luckily the facts are catching up with him... he's lost yet another court case for deceiving tesla customers just the other day.
Third mistake: not just building high-speed rail which has existed for over 50 years and is far cheaper, far more efficient, and far easier to maintain than hyperloop
Well, I hope these things are complete and functioning before I die.
You mean the bugs are worked out and massive deaths are eliminated. No other form of high speed travel has been free of human screwups and the Hyperloop will be no exception.

at high speeds, would any irrecularities /warping /bumps in the straightness of the rail, be more pronounced? I worry that the pod could bump or lift off the rail or smash against the sides of the tube.

Fantastic attention to detail!! Thanks for watching!
the idea was not "first conceived by Musk", the first actual functional hyperloop was build in 1872 by Alred Beach. It was called the Beach Pneumatic Transit.
Also in New York, I believe, they had a vacuum sucked Victorian underground train that sucked people through a tunnel from here to...there. Maybe I am thinking of the same thing, I just don't have anything but a childhood memory hearing about it. The part I recall is the luxurious train compartment, Pullman style.
Addendum Yep, it's the same thing. I should double check before I post a comment!
Almost flipped the f out when they said that
@@paulaharrisbaca4851 It was a demonstration tunnel that went about a block, then came back. Neat idea - but it wasn't hyperloop. The car (I think there was only one carriage, not a train) didn't operate in a hard vacuum, but instead acted as a piston. The station would increase or decrease the air pressure in the tunnel to push or pull the car.
NYC didn't go for it. The tunnel was sealed up, rediscovered, and then demolished. The scene in Ghostbusters II where they broke into it was actually City Hall Station, I believe, which is funny since City Hall Station is where the old tunnel originally was.
It's been three years now and not a lot of progress with the hyperloop and with the underwhelming failure of the Vegas loop, this transportation concept now seems more like a hype that would not get any results while China and Japan have made a lot of their goals in maglev trains that can now reach to up to 600km/h.
Indeed. Proven technology,....
France, Germany and Japan had high speed rail for so long now (since the 60s), it's crazy that the US still doesn't have high speed rail.
@@LutraLovegood Republicans
It's quite upsetting, given the quality of B1M's content that they gave HyperLoop this sort of press without dealving into the feasibility of the project. The concept is certainly physically possible, that is not in doubt, the problem is, is it feasible over any serious/useful distances without serious roadblocks what would explode its cost to build and maintain. Just consider the challenge of maintaining and creating the vacuum over such distances, let alone if the vacuum fails during use. At speed such a failure would mean insta-death for anyone inside one of these pods. As for the likely-hood of such failure, the longer the tube the greater the failure risk. For one, a pressurized tube in the vacuum of space is nothing compared to a vacuum under the pressure of the atmosphere.
The video covered the possibility of vacuum failure, and I was satisfied with Virgin's explanation that it would just slow down the train, not result in "insta-death for anyone inside". But I do agree that the video ignored the energy costs of maintaining vacuum when talking about how little energy the loops would actually use for _propulsion._
When it comes to the "insta-death" thing, I was a lot more worried about the possibility of someone crashing into a tube and then the train colliding with the break. However, it seems like the raised, seismically engineered supports should reduce that risk down to pretty much just intentional terrorism (or acts of war), and not normal accidents.
I have more problem with the lack of research about giving proper credit for the concept. This isn't Musk's concept. The video is a fail from the start.

The Port of Oakland alone is the fifth busiest container port in the United States. Thus the bridge was built as tall as it is to accommodate the worlds largest ships.

The original concept was first patented in 1799 in Britain - so Musk's claim that he invented the concept is beyond absurd. It's never been built because the engineering will be extraordinarily challenging and expensive and the safety issues are virtually insurmountable.

When I was younger, I asked my dad why those pipelines (they're for hot water for heating here) have those big U turns that seemed to be useless. He explained to me, that due to temperature changes the metal tubes extend and getting longer. To prevent anything from breaking, these U turns give the tubes the ability to bend a little and not cause demage at where they are ending. How does Hyperloop deal with that, cause to me looks like the exact same problem?
i noticed that all the cities appear to be relatively the same longitude... wondered about temperature fluctuations, then wondered what they're going to do about global warming... and EARTHQUAKES. We didn't used to live in an earthquake zone, but since they've been fracking the CRAP out of the ground not far from us, our doorways all have massive cracks in them from the earthquakes that we just KEEP HAVING, and then they move the fracking to a better site(closer to someone elses house, lol- spread that "wealth").

It is astonishing how many people believe he is a genius solely because the mainstream media tells them he is. Also, a correction to your video: Elon Musk is not a founder of Tesla.

No matter the value you put to the word founder, he is business terminology, considered a co-founder of Tesla Motors. This is due to the company existing only on paper, without a prototype to show off, when he was approached, and put up the lionshare of funding, after being turned down by all regular car manufacturers, with some not even thinking Eberhart and Tarpenning was worth an answer to their requst for a meeting.
In terminology all shareholders, that made the production of a prototype to base the companys business model on, are to be considered co-founders. With whoever came up with the idea, given the title of Original Founders and co-founders.
Also hyperloop is not really debunked, the proop of concept worked. It however also showed that scaling it for business purposes, is currently not technologically viable.

How will they turn the pods around into the opposite direction without blocking the incoming tubes? How can you really made this efficient for the masses? Would it perhaps be more efficient with an actual loop? With no need to turn around since there won't be any end to the loop, it just goes around and around.
I started working in NY 200 years back when we made houses at Rock Central, IM SO HAPPY WE DIDNT cancel the PROJECT. I never thought I would see it finished in my life time- then again, I may no
I have Popular Science magazines (might be Mechanix Illustrated magazines) dating in the 1950s that were promising this sort of technology and I am still waiting... I hope it comes true but but i am pretty sceptical that it will be done in my lifetime.
Environmental concerns, expensive land acquisition in urban areas and pressure from cheap priced airlines are pretty tough obstacles to overcome.
And then, there are always conventional high-speed and maglev trains that are proven technologies.
ahahahaha im waiting for a man on pluto too
Evacuated tunnel ideas have returned several times already, yes. And while it's hard to say for sure if this time will be different from previous times, at the least each next time our technologies are more capable.
So there the base principle of energy cost to move the 'train' through an evacuated tunnel is true. And thus in theory should allow for cheaper prices, so long as infrastructure costs aren't to excessive. The question becomes, can modern technology make the required infrastructure to run this system at a price point that doesn't destroy the cost savings gained for moving objects through an evacuated tunnel.
Sadly we'll just have to wait and see if current technology can do it. The number of projects on it going on right now does make this seem like a pretty serious effort at making it work this time around. So perhaps some companies/engineers think it might be feasible this time.
you are underestimating humans. we will be on mars in 6 years
If it's a futuristic thing depicted in Popular Science, Popular Mechanics or Mechanix Illustrated, it's almost a sure bet that it will never happen. Hahahaha!
I wish the best of luck to all Hyperloop projects.
Oh, I can live 400 km from my job? Answer: Yes, just use Zoom!
Sir 😅
I can't weld on zoom
From bed to office in under 10seconds.
Maybe Zoom video conference style tech, will overcome Hyperloop xportation, because the majority of people will be working from home, making it unnecessary..
11:38 you improved it a lot since I saw the video last it looks great with the stilts to accommodate fluctuations and migration paths
There is no improvement. the entire thing was a distraction and lie by Musk.
Just to clarify
The Dubai Abu Dhabi route
Will be the first hyperloop route in the world
Construction is estimated to begin between 2019-2020
The uae government already has prepared 7.5 billion usd for the project
Edit
To all the replies
The uae government owns half of hyperloop one
So it's kinda obvious that they be the first to implement the technology
And what will they use as devices? There are not even prototypes available. You want go from nothing to a working device which is tested in 2 years? Great idea. They test the next generation of light rail for Berlin for two years and that is not a completely new technology.
ahahahaha no it wont..it will be the last
yes india too
Ronan-gaming it will be like in 2024
Reiner Jung wow, I didn't know people like you existed. What, do you only watch 1950's movies, read comic books, and play 20th century video games? Are you not intellectually curious in the least? How could you know none of this?
hyperloop one : try to sell to japan
newest japan bullet train : you say what?
Hyperloop
Japan: Neo Shinkansen
The Hyperloop technology is the one our world needs. In a globalizing and industrializing world like ours, we need to cut down the time we Need to go from A to B and the time our goods need from Production to our your home.
Being able to travel from Germany to China in less than 5 hours or from Los Angeles to New York in less that 3 Hours not only brings us closer but gives us more time to be at a place instead of travel to a place.
The best thing about Hyperloop is that it's already obsolete.
We already have maglev trains capable of carrying a thousand people going at speeds of almost 400 MPH.
Maglev massively trounces Hyperloop in efficiency with its capacity and ease of expansion.
@William Frank Ha ha ha!
@William Frank A compromised tube won't result in a supersonic shockwave of air on a maglev train like it would on a Hyperloop tube.
Oh yeah, I remember maglev technology. That was the technology we talked about in 1990, but we never got it and other countries did.
maglev is not a successful technology, it's more of a dick-shaking (a combination of dick-measuring and saber-rattling) contest "look at what we have" - Germany, Japan and China have it, but it's completely uneconomical to operate - Bristol Brabazon, BEA/Air France Concord or the Tu-144 are an example of such from the past - but they don't stand anywhere near the orders of magnitude of (unwarranted) expenditures for maglev.
Whenever I can I try to vote against such projects and for expansion of the normal public transportation to the smaller cities and villages, because public transportation and public services is what makes a country great, not some space launches, nuclear missiles or magnetically-suspended trains that nobody uses.
transrapid maglev operational since 1980s in Germany near Hamburg Berlin with 420 kmh back then
@@IvanDmitriev1 My guess you never went to Shanghai in 7 minutes 20 seconds for 30.5 km from inner city to airport at 431 kmh.
But on the costs and profitability of Maglev and Concord you are correct.
TGV and Shinkansen bullet trains are better, transport more people on one ride and are easier to implement on rails than Maglevs on magnetic rails.
The sad thing about this is that in 10 years TH-cam will suggest this video again and It will still then be in planning.. and is only in test somewhere in in the world
I heard the first hyperloop track will be leading from Wakanda to Gotham. i can't wait to go there
Good to see someone who can recognise vaporware.
I remember first learning of them when I was in 5th grade.
Still haven’t come
because they were never sustainable nor feasible in the first place
The technology "concieved" by Elon Musk was already theorized in Switzerland in 1992 as Swissmetro, google it.
And Roller coasters have using this tech for years
@M Heisenberg Thinking about something and turning it into a reality are two VERY different things.
It's even older than that. Systems using vacuum tubes have been used in large buildings to transport documents and other small items from one department to another for years!
@M Heisenberg Most tech advances are based on other peoples work.
actually it was theorized around the same time as the airplane. but one idea was good and practical, and one was very stupid and expensive
Some countries: We want hyperloop !
Antonia: leaves the conversation.
This video: misplaces Delhi and Mumbai
India: leaves the video.
India can't even have bullet train , that's not because of economy buy because of plateus and type of land etc ..
@@Eswarr true we will have to dig through landscapes to make hyperloop.
Shubham Mishra thats bullshit
Hyper loop: exists
Boat on blue ice in minecraft: my successor
I am an Indian, ❤ your video help me to understand the technology of hyperloop easily , BUT i have a request that , on 8:37 in India's map the 2 points shows namely as DELHI and MUMBAI are exchanges their places 😅 , so please take a look at it .
Any saving in energy will be more then made up for by the requirement to attain and maintain a .005 atm vacuum.
air locks.
Penny Wagner Air locks help with emergencies, but don’t change the energy requirements to maintain a vacuum
@@pennywagner8487 A constant stream of pods means a constant stream of lost vacuum in those air locks. So, yeah, it will be very expensive to keep such a vacuum in place... if they could ever even achieve it... which is pretty dubious.
Me posing questions: A) if there's a serious problem in the way, you're trapped in the vacuum tube, how do you get out? B) have you done the Math of how much energy you need to create a vacuum on such a big quantity of volume? I did, and it's enormous! And you'll have leaks on the joints.
I wonder about that too. Every transportation system has breakdowns, and people in NY's subway system have grown accustomed to endless waits or walks between stations. What happens when a hyperloop pod breaks down? Since there must be many pods in the tube at once in order to carry enough customers to make economic sense, there will be a big backup. So you just keep everybody there? Or you let air into the tube so people can walk out? Out to where? There would have to be escape areas at pretty frequent intervals to let everybody get back to the real world. And these escape areas themselves would have to have some sort of transportation connections. These and other safety considerations get very expensive, making an already economically doubtful system prohibitively expensive.
If you think about it for just a few minutes, there are endless problems. How do you get in and out of the pod? Each tube can only be one way of travel or have one pod in it. As you say, the power needed to create a meaningful vacuum is colossal. How strong will these tubes need to be? That will be expensive. Leaks, damage and environmental change, all problems.
We need to make this happen, this would be great not only the states but for the world
no it would not, its all a scam..
here you go: th-cam.com/video/RNFesa01llk/w-d-xo.html
and yeah if your not very smart that video will probably hurt your brain!.
Always a hater sitting at home with no job talking shit.
@@meanvecktor1900 Aww, what's wrong, don't like it when someone tells you that a scam is a scam? This will never happen. It's dangerous, impractical, and ridiculously expensive.
Stop confusing CGI with science.
1:18 this could bever happen, giant naval ships and cruise liners go under the The Golden Gate bridge.
Make it taller lol
The maglev train is scheduled to begin commercial operations between Tokyo and Nagoya around 2030. It has taken nearly 70 years since Japanese national railway started the research. I think Hyperloop may also take almost same decades of Japanese maglev train to begin commercial operations.
The maglev has already fixed the problem of levitation and propulsion for the hyperloop, and I think the tupes have fixed the problem of air pressure. It won't take as long as you think now, Elon's original idea of levitation would have though.
Maglev makes some sense though it has a lot of issues that make me question if it will take off. Hyperloop is just a joke.
Gotta love the "hurry up and go advanced security checks." If you are wondering why its so vague its because its pure bull based on nothing. Same as having this in"the very near future."
Small point: the Golden Gate Bridge isn't on the Los Angeles to San Francisco route nor visa versa. Just sayin.
