>gigantic vacuum chamber
Yeah that's certainly not going to end horribly
Jaxson Thompson
med range transportation yes, but long range transportation will be taken care of by the BFR, basically a rocket.
The Musk electric jet system will also controll midrange flights.
musk is a fucking god.
Owen Miller
no
Luis Sanders
daily reminder that Islamic immigration will put the end to many of these inventions as they will no longer seem feasible with such a big Muslim population in the west.
Jose Turner
its retarded
i dont recommend his political videos but thunderfoot has a really good series about how the hyperloop is shit
Liam Campbell
No.
Luis Price
No the hyperloop will fail the chances of it happening are impossible and the chance of something going wrong and killing someone or seriously injuring someone is very likely you have to have no brain to think otherwise
Asher Garcia
It's partial vacuums. You create a stronger vacuum drinking with a straw.
Also, the vacuum could be easily created by just creating a simple air pressure blow off valve every 1000 feet. The train would push the air out as it moved thru the tracks on a test run and you'd have your vacuum without even needing an air pump.
Xavier Ramirez
Yes. There is a current plan for one to be built from Pittsburgh Pa. to Columbus Oh. A second leg from Columbus to Chicago Il. and one from Denver Co. east.
This is one of the things that will bring massive economic gain to the Midwest.
Adrian Barnes
It's a bullshit meme like the high speed rail

Bentley Reed
a rocket?
how about a modern supersonic jet plane
Boeing could have built pic related but decided to build the 787 instead in 2001. The Concorde first flew in 1969
Benjamin Phillips
It would've happened years ago if it weren't for muh roads
Kevin Adams
Know how hard that would be to maintain, would have to pay someone to check thousands of miles of track a day
Elijah Watson
:D
Cooper Russell
It's self cleaning because it's part vacuum, duh.
Gabriel Nguyen
I wish they fixed the pot holes in my roads first.
Kayden Perez
Fix current infrastructure and throw out the Muslims, then you can start inventing useful shit without it being terrorist targets.
Justin Flores
targets for terrorists*
Samuel Gutierrez
Their goal is to reach outer-space level of vacuum, so a single bullet would make it into a gore pinata.

> supersonic jet plane
people rather travel for a few more hours instead of paying 10x the price for a ticket
Isaiah Murphy
>thunderfoot
Owen Cox
no way that's cheaper than a supersonic aircraft
Austin Bennett
We don't even have the money (or the rare earths probably) to make a proper maglev system. Why do people think that making it run in fucking vacuum would somehow word better?
Andrew Thompson
No it’s not. Elon Musk is gonna run out of money before 2020.
Nicholas Lopez
Well fuck...
Christopher Barnes
the security check alone takes longer than 30min
Alexander Campbell

Die in a nigger cock

Boeing did have plans for a plane to compete against the Concorde back in the 60s.
Nicholas Lewis
lmfao who is this retarded shit aimed at?
Jason Roberts
that's sexy
Hudson Ramirez
the SCIENCE! demographic
Justin Anderson
stupid investors
Musk needs more money to finance his other failing ventures. Need to keep the pyramid scheme going.

This guy reckons not. I don't know enough to say anything but it makes sense
unvis.it
Musk seems like a crook now
Michael James
Just need a bit more government $$$ to make it happen guise
Owen Russell
...
Charles Garcia
>>Catastrophic decompression
> of a tube that's already below atmospheric pressure
what the fuck are you talking about?
literally all that would happen is that the hyperloop temporarily becomes a train. it's like that Mitch Hedberg joke about the escalator
Jaxson Reed
>300mph
>Riding in a hyperloop
Pick one

Low pressure on the inside is just as brutal. This is some folks making a science project, it seems.
Tyler Flores
Fuck that shit bring back MagLevs
Matthew Clark
the steel drum is only prevented from collapsing by it's content (the steam), when the content rapidly decreases it's volume the drum collapses
obviously, the hyperloop would be build to withstand atmospheric pressure, otherwise it couldn't have a vacuum in the first place. a hole in it would only relieve pressure and therefore make collapse LESS likely
William Barnes
A bullet would change that.
Ryder Mitchell
And sorry, no, pressure is exerted on all points equally, the rushing air will collapse this as more of a shockwave, it is not like a small valve that will bleed in high pressure.
Oliver King
>built to withstand pressure
Jaxson Ross
yes, this tank isn't
Jaxon Brown
>Sorry for the convenience
Nathaniel Myers
i don't think so: huge infrastructure investment, but only just a bit faster than airplane

Daily reminder that the military has a vast system of hyperloops stretching across the USA and musk has never had an original idea.
Sebastian Morales
Exactly how many hyperloops is he planning to build? Because there's thousands of airplanes and most of them are fully booked.
Jason Scott
It's a meme that will go the way of the blimp once the first accident happens.
Jaxson Russell
he's building none, the various engineering teams he's scammed into working on it for him in the spirit of a "competition" are doing all the work.
Dominic Rivera
hes jsut throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks at this point
Camden Bell
This looks like a great way to ruin early warning missile defense systems
Matthew Perry
No.
Xavier Edwards
The reduction from 1 to 0 atmospheres is relatively mild, the worst you'll get is some unpleasant bruising, dry eyes, and aching ears. Oh, and I guess the whole suffocation thing, but that's a given, you pass out in less than 30 seconds and collapse in a heap.
The reason Hollywood hypes up the 'u gunna explode in spess' is because they're trying to sell horror, and it's a lot more spectacular when someone's helmet pops and their eyes explode in blood. Now, you 'CAN' cause that sort of dramatic flesh explosion, but you need deep sea levels of pressure differentials, a difference of many, even hundreds of atmospheres, not one.
Ethan Butler
>It's partial vacuums.
Yeah it's just 0.001% of standard pressure.
>You create a stronger vacuum drinking with a straw.
It's funny that you think this is true.
Grayson Torres
>yes, this tank isn't
But it is exactly what will happen to the whole loop if even a small structural defect happens or someone shoots it or crashes into it, or metal stress causes a weak point.
Logan Bell
gief more subsidies guys. Remember the battery wall or how the shit is called? Yeah neither does he.
Brayden King

You have managed to get the effect exactly reversed.
Space with the vacuum on the outside and the pressure on the inside is functionally identical to having a normal atmosphere on the outside and 2 atmospheres on the inside.
That is pressure pushing out.
A vacuum chamber is pressure pushing in. Which is a vastly different set of physical limits.
A bathysphere dropped into the ocean to go deep is a one of a kind precision craft with a massive cost in construction and parts.
A pipe that is holding in the exact same level of pressure is turned out in a factory then welded together by a meth addict.
But it doesn't hold that much pressure you say?
True. But you can take a normal plastic bottle and pressure it up to about 500PSI before it pops. You can crush that same bottle by sucking on it with your weak human lungs that can really only pull down to about 0.7 bar of vacuum.
A vacuum implosion is vastly more destructive than an explosion of a similar pressure difference.
Adrian Johnson
Haha what? All of the water in your body would instantly boil and be violently ejected from your body. Which would amount to a whole lot worse than "the worst you'll get is some unpleasant bruising, dry eyes, and aching ears". Your lungs would collapse and your body would expand as internal liquids expanded into gasses. You would pass out in far less than 30 seconds.
