Elon Musk coined the term Hyperloop back in 2013 when he released his vision for a fifth mode of transport. Since then, engineers around the world have been working to make his idea a reality sooner than you might think. Virgin Hyperloop has successfully tested the technology with human passengers and in Europe, Hardt Hyperloop is working on the technology and international coalition building needed to create entire Hyperloop networks. On this episode of Accelerate, we’ll look at how one Hyperloop track could take passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles in a half hour, and how Hyperloop networks could redefine the economies of entire continents.

The thing that has stood in the way of evacuated very high speed trains has always been tunneling technology. You don't need tunneling if the land is very flat, but that does not describe many places. To really get long straight runs, you need tunnels. When we get rapid tunneling technology, near jogging speeds, these things can be everywhere. The reality is, though, that automated eVTOL is going to reduce the need for this, except for longer distances.

I love how incredibly out of touch this is. We’ve all been aware for years that the hyperloop is a massive scam and insanely redundant. It’s pseudo science and Bloomberg just fell for it 😂😂

@matteloht Год назад

the science is actually plausible. But the economics is the problem. They even where (Transrapid) or still are (SCMaglev) for "regular" magnetic levitation systems. And now within a tube that has to maintain a vacuum it's just insanely more costly to build the infrastructure for it. It has to pay it's costs of someday, but flying is just to cheap still as a direct competitor. Even if it would be faster. The Concorde had to go as well mostly due to cost factors...

@rubencid2575 2 года назад

Does anyone notice that the total capacity of the hyperloop is a fraction of the train? the speed of it can beneficial but you can literally break a whole section of the line with a single bullet and everything blows up by a decompression. And it inherent cost of construction and maintenance

@garethbaus5471 2 года назад

I doubt that any engineer would be ok with constructing any vehicle from a material that is brittle enough to be destroyed in that way by a bullet. Much like a bullet hitting a plane the damage would consist of a single hole that could be plugged with a finger, something that should be repaired when the vehicle stops but pretty far from the complete destruction of a section.

As a former train designer, the technology is very do-able. As stated by Alan James, the effects will be transformational... if phased in correctly. The economies of scale plus operational running cost efficiencies will rapidly bring down costs across the board to a point where time saved incl. the benefits & all cost per Km Minute travelled, will rival existing modes of transport. Super commercial hubs (like the one shown in the North of England) will be replicated all over the world where these hubs, once connected to other hubs, will themselves create their own dynamic.

What about weather and extreme weather conditions, natural disasters including seismic activity. Not planning for these can cause the whole thing to come crashing down.

Reducing co2 emissions and lowering gasoline usage which would make it greener so long as the hyperloop itself isn't causing more issues than its solving definitely needs to be renewable energy.

@chrisscollick261 2 года назад

@randomstuff1019 3 года назад

I like how they gloss over the biggest hurdle. Actually making a vacuum in that large of a system with seals that last for even a decade in the tubes. Edit: And as Pascal pointed out, any depressurization event will also cause a shockwave of high pressure air to travel down the tube faster than the speed of sound.

@plusmanikantanr 3 года назад

If everything is magnetic I think all they have to do is have some kind of magnetic bearings and switches?That close-open-open-close sort of sequence of vacuum airlocks ... it has to happen in mere milliseconds or microseconds depending on the speed of the pods, and they need to keep independent vacuum pumps running constantly in each section, priming the vacuum, and depending on the traffic you more or less regulate the intensity of the vacuum and the speed of transfer .... each transfer causes air leakage and the vacuum gets slowly lost until you have to shutdown the system to restore the vacuum. If there was a natural way something like how a ram water pump works, to build up the vacuum into a chamber, you could potentially use the hyperloop system to pump water and form a vacuum and effectively become a sort of electricity,internet/data,water, air, sewage, people transportation system that could solve excessive urban sprawl. IF, not when. If HighSpeedRail can be built, it would make hyperloop a deadend. When Elon does Starship hopping from Port to Port , you WONT need hyperloop or planes.

There are plenty of high speed trains and the EU expects/plans this to double in the EU (from the +--3000-3500km now to 7000km in around 10-15 years). Hyperloop companies don't only operate in the US.

If they bring down cost enough it could outgrow China's high speed trains that as they said are not profitable

The biggest challenge in the US is property owners. If they don’t want to sell there’s not much that can be done other than rerouting. If current railway would allow modern technology to use their right of ways it would be easier.

They need a hyperloop material that will not expand or shrink with temperature.expansion joints wont work unless they are sealed with an expandable rubber gaskets maybe.

I like it because successful or not - it'll create a whole new horror genre. Claustrophobic setting, speed, magnets, high voltage, eye-popping vacuum... That's like giving someone a blank check and telling them to just go nuts.
