Comment on Hyperloop One to Shut Down After Failing to Reinvent Transit

• Honytawk@lemmy.zip ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Keeping a vacuum in a big area is extremely inefficient and energy costly, because it is impossible not to have leaks.

  A tube for 6-8 people doesn’t come close to the capacity of a train.

  During an emergency, the people in those tubes are stuck with no way to get out, unlike a train.

  Hyperloop is basically a fancy looking but worse train in about every aspect.

    Except it would be 10 x faster. Bit fair enough

    So basically every project worth doing. Obviously it would be expensive it’s train travel. Any kinda project costs a fuck tonne. Not specific to Hyperloop.

    That’s fair enough. I suppose any kind of improvement on maglev would be useful. Just bumping trains to 300 would have some ability to compete with air travel

    Yeah that would be very expensive and difficult. However kinda similar to if a plane fails.

    All others seem fair enough. Technology moving past is kinda silly. That’s like saying don’t make trains as new tech might come and then it’s a waste.

  How about a 10 minute video about it?

  Such as having to withstand over 100 tons of air pressure per square meter
