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?

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.

[@ElGrecoDaGeek]

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.

[@DanHarkless_Halloween_YTPs_etc]

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.

[@ddwkc]

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.

[@liambengif7663]

The hyperloop is very flawed, i have said this before but While the concept of a hyperloop sounds cool, they would be way to problematic if used as actual transit. First, the cost. A hyperloop is really just a maglev (An expensive form of transportation) inside of a vacuum tube (an expensive device) along with some isolation valves and pressure control crap. Which would probably make the track infrastructure/mile cost a few billion. Second is safety and efficiency. While trains and other forms of transport are unsafe in their own ways, a hyperloop would be loaded with deadly points-of-failure, such as the vacuum tube rupturing on the outside or worse, the inside of the carriage rupturing and causing a depressurization, or the power supply failing and the carriages slamming into the concrete below them at 300 mph because the magnets are no longer supplied with power, Also if a switch failed, keep in mind that maglev switches are weird , complicated and can only be passed through at low speed, and these switches will be inside of vacuum tubes which ads more points of failures. In terms of efficiency, there are a few issues. First the only maglevs in operation are fairly low capacity and in comparison draw very high amounts of power, more than many 25kv HST systems. Second, the only hyperloops that have been tested, by virgin hyperloop, are slow, draw a huge amount of power, and their test vehicles could only hold 2 people, oh and it also took them 6 years to get that first prototype working. Just in general hyperloops are not a very good way of transportation despite looking cool on paper. What we can do is upgrade out high speed rail and even future maglev systems to go at speeds close to a hyperloop or faster, which is possible.

[@kirkmattoon2594]

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.

[@billywindsock9597]

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.

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.

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?
