It wasen't Elon Musk's idea, but the idea about traveling in neat vacum tupes is more than a 100 years old.
What an amazing innovation in white elephants to spend money instead of the High Speed Rail that actually works.
Why is this a white elephant? Isn't it cheaper and much faster than traditional high-speed rail?
@@adenm8963 The only way an entire vacuum tube is cheaper than rail is when a shit ton of grift is involved.
please make the tube transparent.
I always take windows seat on plane.
You wouldn’t be able to see anything but a blur of colors.
you cant make circular window
They will make big screens inside the capsule so that everyone can see the landscape just as if it was real
hey does anyone knows how to create this kind of videos for explaining concepts. thanks.
@@pugzmcstewson5603 if you it is in city but in open field the surrounding turn slow
Great video, I finally get the air bearing concept
true. at first I was like: how in the f*** are they gonna make that thing hover in that pipe?
Why not maglev?
DC9848 me too.
@@DigitalPyro problem is tho, it probably won't work. The tips of the compressor fan blades would have to spin astronomically fast in order to collect enough air from the near vacuum.
@@botwenty eddy current generated cause too much of friction and most of the energy lost
I have safety concerns for it.What happens if somehow fire starts in the tube? Or people get stuck in the tube
The internet has made high speed travel obsolete.
If the tubes can move about flexibly then how will a low pressure atmosphere be maintained? Furthermore, nothing is immune to climate unless it's deep underground, there will be serious structural issues caused by expansion and contraction of materials from temperature that will make sustaining such an atmosphere impossible for that distance of tubing. Also, the most advanced pressurization system on earth was built and used by NASA, and it's massive. the total volume of this track exceeds this volume by a staggering amount. What I'm saying is, this key piece of technology doesn't exist.
I'd like to see what safety measures are being placed for emergencies, from what I understand if there's a single problem the results will be devastating.
ya i was wondering about safety regulations too but it sounds like this project is still moving forward. I heard something in the news like recently that the New York to DC track just got approved by the Gov't
Adrian Oliver Blood if you can't suggest *solutions* for things .....Better learn from Elon Musk 😑
Inclined scorpio If you can’t solve a problem, don’t mention it? Seriously?
Adrian Oliver Blood
1. For the most part, the tubes will not be moving around unless in the event of an Earthquake.
2. The hyperloop will probably be underground or it will be made of a material that would be resistant to much thermal expansion.
3. Compression is an extreme necessity for it to work but it is useful for it to reach the desired speeds. A slight cushion probably won't matter as much.
Nox NC Yeah bro , it's true in case of Musk 😏
Thats not musk's invention lmao
hey does anyone knows how to create this kind of videos for explaining concepts. thanks.
At this speed and type of mechanics, who and for what reasons will they be restricted from riding???
Just got a Hyperloop ad for this video. Hahahahahahahahaha
Mr. Elon Musk must be having me on or something...
"Elon musk wants to know your location"
I got a Hyperloop ad before this. LOL
How will the ventilation take place inside the tube
Is there any air to use for air bearings,when the tube is vaccumised.
The tunnel is not completely vacuumised. There would basically be a low pressure system ahead of the hyperloop that would allow the compressor fan to absorb air atleast theoretically.
Great video, but why have to compress the air to lift just use the maglev?
@You can eat in class!! But more importantly: much more impossible-er
Love the concept, but is there a way to ensure that the capsule's track doesn't become dislodged from the stators if the tube is swaying? If you make the stator's gap too wide then it doesn't really hold the capsule upright, but make it too narrow and if one the stators is off by just a few inches then couldn't that cause a crash?
You know, even if the hyperloop works, it still requires expensive infrastructure that is not easily moved or modified. Cars and airplanes still maintain greater flexibility of being able to travel to a variety of locations with less infrastructure costs. So the hyperloop might be good as a major arterial path for popular, well-traveled locations, but you'll still need other transportation alternatives for traveling to and from the hyperloop connection.
It's basically a faster train anyways, and what you said is how train stations work.
:}
Great theory, now lets just hope reality agrees............
:}
hey does anyone knows how to create this kind of videos for explaining concepts. thanks.
Reality is reluctant
Too bad reality doesn't agree
Seems that Elon´s Hyperloop more is a kind of a turbo fan engine in a pressure reduced pipe with a passenger pod connected to it. So it is a kind of an airplane without wings flying in high altitude.
It's amazing to look at the Tesla's they have going through a subway tunnel, with a driver at like 70mph and look back at what they promised.
more like 30-40mph
Tesla tunnels are soon ascenine
Can I use your Video in My presentation
The Hyperloop is literally just a monorail but with high school physics class take on air resistance lmao
I'm skeptical about a few things :
- does it work on a curved track ? how ? as it seems to be a long straight thing without any moving parts...
- when passengers will be going in and out of the capsules, the air pressure in the tube will increase (which would need a lot of power to decrease back), unless there's some kind of airtight system which goes on the capsule when it's on a station.
- the exterior design needs to be taken seriously, because it might not be accepted as-is by cities and countries : ugly concrete pillars supporting ugly tubes. unless it's glass, but the glass version just seems to be a technically unrealistic artist view.
- if it allows for non-precise alignment of the stator and rotors (because of air cushions, slightly moving tubes and curved tracks), then I guess that each couple of stators is enough spaced to allow this, which also induces a waste of power ? but it has solar panels, so maybe they don't give a f**k
A slight turn at 700 mph would produce uncomfortable G's or sickness in most people.
+alex I think like a lot of things, the hype of a new technological concept often overlooks reality and practicality. Monorails were once considered the transport of the future and even maglev trains are not a new idea, since that goes back as far as the 60's. Also , we were meant to have flying cars by now. I don't think it will come as cheap as they claim. I'm also wondering how difficult and expensive it would be depressurizing a 4000 km long tube. I'm a bit skeptical with claim that solar panels will make it significantly more efficient and cheaper because the same argument can be used for any transport system or anything else. You could run a conventional rail system on solar power if you had enough solar panels. Its like saying running a vacuum cleaner off solar panels instead of the grid makes it a better vacuum cleaner than one run off the grid.
@@1978Prime : Americans don't seem to realise that most trains in the developed world run on electricity already : that's why they are getting all excited about H-L's "green" solar panels etc. As for curves (horiz AND vert), they will need to be very VERY gentle at that speed, so some spectacular civil engineering will be required, unless it's in a flat desert.
Thank you very much for the beautiful explanation..
It wasn't enough because it didn't reveal that it was bullshit
Your pension fund just got flushed down the tube.
Well it work the same way as a maglev train (magnetic levitated train) but because for now the maglev speed is limited because of air fricsion that where hyperloop came in making the railway a vacuum (well not really) as explained on the video reducing the air pressure by a large margin
But it will be really expensive the japan bullet train is said to cost 100 billion dollar to make
You are really smart. Hope you don't waste your talent and get lots of ideas. Do you have any more ideas for how to make something or make something better?
Positive pressure 800 mph jet/slip stream is the way to go not negative vacuum pressure.
It is supposed to be a loop after all.
Please can you tell the unite in Mile and km
Just to make it easy for most people
eddy current propulsion is a great concept if you grew up in the 1800's but create a field in which you can push against using eddy currents and you have anti gravity. Crazy but picture this, a aluminum plate passing though a magnetic field it which creates resistance which it pushes up. the mechanism resembles two aluminum plates with at t shaped field generator. ps. the aluminum wheels are counter rotating with the field generator frequency same as rpm,s . got to go to a 51 now should not drink whille on va ca. thanks
i bet these are the same people who hyped up solar fricken roadways too.
and so build a bigger vacuum tubes to go in space can be a great deal just with 4 lawyers electromagnetic motor left and right it give more force energy so it can go up to the space
...thank you for support
"just with 4 lawyers" - thats funny! I expect that lawyers will be one of the things that kills this project.
compared to the featured animation, the explanation of the working concept could have been better!
How are you going to get out in case of fire etc.?
Justwantahover jump
Justwantahover same way you get out of a plane
Faran M Same damage too as you jump out of a fucking tube going 700+mph breaking every fucking bone known to man in your body.
Karensa Brady that's not my point, my point is that planes rarely ever catch fire so it would be the same for the hyper loop
A fire in a nearly frictionless, airtight tube?
If the someone in the u.s. could build maglev or these over free ways(cause people don't want to give up land) and make the check in process less of a walk than air ports and with comfortable spacy seats, feel like they'd be profitable!
@1:25 : The pillars are "unobstructive", footprint of a "telegraph pole" ? One of the Hyperloop's fans' delusions is that it will only need to buy a few square feet of land every 100 yards; hence the supposed cheapness. But its shadow area will compromise agriculture so they will need to buy a continuous strip of land like any other railway. Nor will houses be allowed underneath (in UK anyway) so they will need to buy and demolish housing too.
@steam driver I think tubes of that diameter over 100m would buckle before they sagged. I've not done the calcs but I think 100m might be optimistic, especially as they are under vacuum which give them the potential to buckle anyway. It dos not greatly matter because they will need to purchase the entire strip of land anyway, whatever the spacing.
Thanks. That video comprehensively explains the principles that I wasn't aware of.
Мне одному кажется что что то не так, если молекулы летят на сквозь предмета значит они меньше размером чем те которые могли бы притягивать, это значит что могут создать магниты для всей материи что бы притягивать как магниты, леветирующие машины создать могут !!!?
Is the dolphin still working?
*MONORAIL!*
thanks a lot for the vidéo! it helps me a lot for my presentation!
I think that video is not very detailt so how it helps?
hyperloop is good to go in space ......is the best way for less money in the propulsion energy magnetic propulsion in space.....our electromagnetic propulsion aircraft...our electromagnetic motors ...so far so good hyperloop it start build new tools for the future energy propulsion for less the cust...thank you for support
Sounds like you have got a techno-babble generator stuck inside you. You should get it seen to.
It is my science project aand this project is helping me much.
Kanishka TheProgrammer is it?
great video, but can you feel the speed when traveling?
You will feel the acceleration to speed.
Soda_84. No you will not. Same as in airplane travel. 500+ mph in an airplane but when turbulence hits,um...
Sudden starts, stops ,turns, flips, loop-de loops are usually not good unless you're in a rollercoaster.
What if you get stuck inside those pods?
Tough on you.
No it isnt the future if travel. Even if there were no technological or safety related problems, the capacity of a hyperloop would be insufficient. 30 people per pod just isnt much, even if podd are launched all 30 seconds.
@thunderf00t
Year 2024: Doors closed. LOL
Wait why don’t we take the air behind then the pressure on the front is lower than behind then the air from behind will push the vehicle forward?
fantastic tecnology... as quick as airline jets, way saffer, and without leaving footprint for the environment... im sold!
You first send me a post a card.
no foootprint? real footprints even - every so often the tube (if above ground) has to be supported. And CO2-neutral - I don't buy that. What about places and/or periods w/o enough sunlight?
i am making the hyperloop working model the air cushion thing
I have a problem can someone solve me for this plz
I have coreless motor (drones motor) weighs like nothing 50000rpm and the motor size is also too small
My pod size 17 cm and height 7 cm and I have a problem creating the air cushion can u tell me how to do it plz help me help and yeah battery is also very small only about 2 inches and that also weighs nothing help me
This is my kindly request if u apologize🙁🙁
China may tariff soy beans.A tunnel thru the Andes in a hyperloop vacuum tube will bring soy beans to the Pacific coast.Jiaotong University (a railroad engineering school with government funding ) has designed and tested a small maglev train in a hyperloop system at 1,000 km/hr.
I thought the title said, "The science behind hypocrites"!
But how safety only concerned now
Throw a brick on theat thing and it's gonna implode violently. This isn't counting how big of a nightmare it would be to maintain and repair.
What about the g force passengers will get when the train stops?
It seems to be suitable for commodity transport, not commuting (alive people).
Looks like a very expensive train
Yes it is a train inside a 600km long steel tube that contains a vacuum and swags of cabling to maintain the levitation. So that must be cheaper than just a train - mustn't it?
From an engineering point of view this is stupid for any travel distance, I think it has been tried already and the ~power to unit travel over time~ ratio is way on the wrong side of green and also of economy. If you don't give a stuff about global warming and you are prepared to pay a shitload to get there safe and fast, this is your ride.
i reckon it even work in end of the world
Simplicity in massive scale
I like the air bearing concept. It seems like Virgin's Hyperloop one is slightly different. shame
Where they say some people cant handle no windows, just put in HD screens and put in actual video of where they are etc, just like a flight sim.
Jeff Dahl that’ll mean you’ll need some external vehicle riding at the same speed as the car on the outside of the tubes, which could be infeasible. Unless the tubes are transparent but then why not make the vehicle windowed?
free of cost transportaton wow
Keep dreaming.
This Hyperloop expensive and unprofitable project, it is better to finance SkyWay.
NASA SkyTran is better
This hyperloop concept sounds so claustrophobic or is it just me
It's not at small as you think. Check out this video.

@@hashiramasenju6058 i know but like if the tube aint transparent for the whole journey im gonna have a panic attack
@@soobinsbread590 yea hyper loop has much more problems than just that.
ARYAN THAPA SENT ME HERE!
I'd like ride that
Something simillar has Been tryed in Germany before ... Well It Crashes, Killed and injured some 100-200 people or so
Wondering how many peoples in one capsule of hoover craft, and how many capsule in one mile. Luggage weight might be limited.
I think maglev train is a better Idea. This is not so practical.
No haters of elon musks here
It won't be goon-proof
But it cannot beat a plane.
My stupid ass thought it said hydropoops
Wouldn't low air pressure collapse the tube?
Why should it? As long as you don't build the tube with really thin and weak materials, all should be fine.
But thia is costly
Too expensive
Maksym Porokhnavets
Yeah. Mabye in the far future when Elon Makes real cat girls capable of solving the meaning of life
It may fail if something happened to the company that build it
Example bankrupt or accident fees
But what if it derails
There are no rails!
then you hyperdie
@@_panilaperman9881 kill me 😆
Inventions just need support. Then improve to prove. Money money. Hope this people dont get tired to do more. ü.
When I saw this i just thought of lab rats
lubna mian
I thought of Egg Inc
yeah, the hyperloop is traveling at 760 mph and the flexible can shift.. good luck with that. it shall I say RIP.
I actually did not know that there was any science behind the hyperloop at all. I thought that it was something Elon Musk just thunk up on the spur of the moment and now people are trying to figure out how to make it work.
There is no science behind this. Notice how he say what everything will do but not how. The slightest shake of the tube during a small earthquake will be spectacular disaster in one of these.
@@Kanhow If Elon Musk built it, he could make it work. It is those other assholes that make videos about things they beardly understand and speculate about the future of these things.
Wow.
second comment
this is a bad idea and it shows how much thought was put into this in Japan they have buildings that are earthquake resistant using the same concept but they also sway in the wind.@ 700 miles Plus this needs to be rock solid trust me
+K10100 K10100 I am worried about the initial force needed to lift the capsule. The air is of low density (low pressure), it means that to get to the required pressures to lift the tube, you will need really high speeds for the rotor. Which is not a problem, but how is this going to be fully sustainable with just solar panels? Also, the amount of batteries needed to provide such huge sums of energy at night will be ridiculous.
That being said, Elon Musk is far from a con artist so I am sure he, his team and the smart people at UCLA are thinking of this or have already figured this out.
+Vaibhav Shah It looks like (in the latest tests) they plan to use some kind of rail tracks, at least for the acceleration phase until it has enough speed to float in the air. Also, the magnetic motors seems to be used in the same fashion as in some high acceleration roller coasters : placed vertically just to give speed but not horizontally (for speed + levitation) like on the maglev. That way I think it needs far less power than the maglev. And the low pressure allows less air resistance which means less power needed, so It might not be that huge and by night it could rely on windmills, dams and less clean forms of power. But that's just my assumptions...
+Prodigy One Trust you? What are your credentials?
LOL, Ya think?? Oh I trust you, it definitely needs to be rock solid at any speed..
Prodigy One your a bad idea
Wait what? Theres no window? Who tf is driving? That big fan infront will ended suck up the people inside answer this asap
Thank you for those who answer my question
First of all, This technology isn't designed to look out of the window for scenery, the fact that it has not windows makes it way faster than a train... Second, It doesn't need a driver, Purpose of driver is to navigate the vehicle where to go... There will be no change in tracks or paths unlike trains and cars so no need of a driver, there will be staff inside obviously... And last, The air is coming from outside to inside, is getting deposited from the vents made around...
Assasin Chris its automated like the falcon rockets
why
For all you skeptics out there, remember Walt Disney's idea for a theme park was trashed many times and Opera was fired after being ridiculed as an news anchor. Stop being so damn negative.
XmojotronX ever heard of the survivors' bias? i.e. - for every successful case you mention, there are way waaay more failures that you never knew about. Statistically, most ideas fail.
Peleg Bar Sapir and also, for every business that is successful, there are 50 that are defunct
Well. We want to be positive about something BETTER than this
XmojotronX 😂😂😂 Walt Disney and Oprah! 😂😂😂... I guess your joking
It'll be very embarrassing for these these ppl when Elon Musk is exposed as the next Theranos 😳 😂
This must be real, because it's Elon Musk dude.
I am disapointed in Tech Insider for promoting this ridiculously stupid idea.
The hyperloop will use solar energy but if the sun is covered by clouds for days then the hyperloop will use some other source of energy.
I was talking with my mom about elon musks and tunnels and what do you know? This shows up.
I am stunned that people are so easily duped by this fraud. Not only is it not technically feasible (vacuum), it isn't economically feasible (cost/benefit). Airplanes crush this model.
AdamWho prove it.
Firstly, its not fully vacuum, but low air pressure, which is very possible. Secondly, you speak like airplanes are cheap to run (an airplane takes on average 6 months worth of car fuel just riding from terminal to the runway)
Kristian Muldre An Airplane takes only 6000 gallons of fuel for transatlantic journey. You are speaking exaggerated.
Mushtaq Ali Attarwala according to Boeing, a 10 hour journey with 747 takes about 36 000 gallons (I'm assuming most transatlantic flights use big planes)
Kristian Muldre it was my mistake. Flight from jfk to lax takes more than 6000 gallons which is around 4000 kms. Transatlantic route from paris to jfk is around 6000 kms so it shall not take more than 10,000 gallons. This data is for twin engine Aircraft. May be B747s use more fuel but all transatlantic Airliners do not use B747s.
Boink Elon musk
elon musk will be most infuential men in history when he is dead :O so many stuff he invents, trully a futurist who lives to make life better
Musk has not invented anything. He is a salesman.
What if one day the Electromagnetic Motor can't be use?
where the fuck do the people sit?
Cant wait for it to be built in Mexico cuz i live there
Will you wait another 100 years or what?
Its gonna be finished in 2020 or 2022 genius. Its already being built, so stop being stupid
