Just build a bullet train or maglev! The construction and maintenance of thousands of miles of vacuum tubes would be insanely expensive. You can get up to 200 MPH in a bullet train, and if you really see the need it, 300 MPH with a maglev. If the distance is too great, and 200 - 300 MPH is not fast enough, hop in a plane. (By the way. Their called vacuum tube trains, not hyperloops. Concepts have been around since the early 1900s). Just build a train!
People that are highly intelligent have the patience and will to conversation with others that are not as well versed in their areas of specialty. Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Neil Degrass Tyson, all highly intelligent people but they are all willing to spend time to impart knowledge into people that are willing to talk and learn with them. So stop calling the interviewer dumb because she repeatedly asked basic questions; every time she did so, Elon went a little more in depth with his answer; she wants to learn from him and he was willing to teach her.
Frank, the interviewer is trying inject some emotion and some surprise at the fact that Elon Musk has basically called the hyperloop easy to do. It's okay for someone to be baffled by that kind of statement, doesn't make her dumb.
"highly intelligent" huh? narcissist conmen can give the illusion of confidence and intelligence because of how effortlessly they lie, but that doesn't make them correct.
youd think the owner of one of the leading aerospace companies in the world, would be able to ask his engineers to do 3 seconds of calculation before entering an interview. and then, you'd think that CNN, would do 6 seconds of calculations before airing the interview. it pisses me off how lazy the media is.
Awesome! Let's get'er done...adding lane after lane to our existing highway systems might have been the solution in the 60s & 70s, but it's not keeping up with volume. We need another solution...hyperloop is that solution!
I think old pal musky is underestimating the practical details to make it work :) He's talking about a high speed steady state but it has to start from low speed where the air pressure is nil and it will need to ride on wheels. And it might need to ride on wheels up to say 500km/h and those systems have to be very light. And then there is the propulsion where the blades have to slot into the magnetic coils very precisely or things go wrong very quickly. Off the top of my head I think either the air cushion arms or the magnetic blade arms have to be actively tracking so they can compensate for oscillation and earthquakes. The amount of copper for those coils and wiring in the tube might not be entirely trivial either. A fair amount of power electronics has to be in place and reliably well coordinated. And servicing can be a bitch. I can't hunch the amount of coils needed to overcome the pressure at mach 1 but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an intractable amount. Reliability has to be a lot better than Tesla cars. I hunch that they would be much better off doing it as a rail way running on wheels. As desert runs have shown, you can run above mach 1 on wheels so in a smooth pipe in vacuum it should be a piece of cake. The rolling resistance could be very small and run on magnetic bearings.
There's only 1 thing I don't agree with, we haven't discovered everything on earth and we can't even access the majority. He's forgetting the deep waters. We have a lot to learn from them!
SovietButcher but we don't have a lot to learn from them about human well being or creating utopia which is what I think he means. A scientist will do more good for the world by studying battery technology than deep sea squids. In fact arguably it's actually unethical for a talented person to be a marine biologist when they could've worked on green energy instead.
well unless theres some super useful or important unknown resource/element that can only be aqcuired by traveling down to the bottom of the worlds ocean then there is very little reason to devote resources to exploring or habituating it. its like if someone tells you hey bro, theres a really really small chance that if you go into this underwater cave tunnel system youll find gold and make a fortune. will you risk your life or the lives of others for that possibility? as far as i see it, its better that mankind devotes itself to becoming a multiplanitary species first and then later masters all of the earth, itll decrease the likely hood that well all be wiped out by a hyper cataclysmic event such as a nearby supernova from neighboring star systems, nuclear war, a massive meteoric collision, or a rapidly mutating super virus.
what happens if the pod breaks, or if there is an accident? All that high pressure air coming in to fill the vaccum would hit the pod with a tremendous G's. No?
Is efficient transport the same as high speed speedy transport? Does enabling high speed movements alone contribute to more physical portability in humans?
It's a great idea, the only issue I see in Calif is earthquakes, or any other place that has them. The tube can be damaged in one and if a pod is heading through at 700mph, that would pose a problem.
Maybe you would feel better if some cars went off the bridge...lol great thinking on your part... I just stated a fact as Calif has a history of earthquakes if your not aware of that...
Glenn Olua Yep I'm aware. I live in the middle of it. My only point was that you sounded a bit negative on the hyper loop idea because we could have an earthquake while the hyper loop was on its journey. My counter point was that while it is true that could happen but those same people who were caught in that potential accident could have just as easily been on a bridge somewhere during an earthquake and gone into the ocean. Im not saying your wrong, I'm just saying the chances of someone getting killed go from one technology to the other so whats the difference? We shouldn't let potential random natural disasters slow down our progress though we should put as many safeguards as possible to protect those we can when they do. Cheers!
Video posted: Sep 10, 2015Today: May 13, 2021 Morons in comment section saying it's not hard, yet there still isn't a Hyperloop; and these comments are like from 5 months ago.
Its not that simple at all. You would have to make sure that the tube coukd expand and contract with outside tempatures. The tube would have to be reinforced or armored as a slight dent could cause collapse as the vaccum inside is sucking the walls in (basicaly you would need thick walls, which is very expensive). A vaccum failure could launch the pod like a bullet in a barrel, sending it to break neck speeds, safety measures of extream magnatude would have to be devised. The hyperloop would be a multi trillion dollar project, Elon makes it sound like its just some advanced type of train.
When it's not that hard, why are we still in the test stadium? This video is over 4 years old. Bring it on, Elon!! It's sooo easy! But nope, still testing.
Okay regarding this vtol electric concorde thing he said (Vertical Takeoff and Landing Jet) I did some maths The Concordes engines consumed 10500 kgs/hr of jet fuel, that is 2.92 kgs/s of Kerosene. Which would amount to 124.98 MJ/s so 124.98 Megawatts. The most capable battery we have is a lithium metal battery which contains 1.8 MJ/kg so you would need roughly 69.44 KG of lithium metal battery just to power the engines for ONE SECOND. And that is only doing this math at cruise where each engine produces only 10000lbs of thrust per engine. During Takeoff the Concorde used Afterburners. If those we're running the engines produced a thrust 38050lbs per engine and would consume 22500 kgs/hr which is 6.25 kgs/s of kerosene. Which amounts to an energy of 267,5 MJ/s using the same type of battery as before you would need 148.62 Kg to power the engine again for only ONE SECOND. To put it differently the fuel tanks onboard concorde could carry 94470kg of Jet Fuel. Which amounts to 4043316 MJ and using only batteries to power those you would need 2246286.7 kgs of batteries. And that is only for Concorde which wasn't VTOL. It had a thrust to weight ratio of 0.373 in order for it to be VTOL it would need a thrust to weight ratio of >1 and to have it in the box let's say it is 1.1, the same as the Av-8 Harrier. That would mean that the engines would need to produce a maximum thrust of 448800 lbs per engine that would 112200 lbs of thrust. And he plans that to do with electricity. And also bear in mind that the four Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 Mrk610 engines on the concorde we're TURBOJET, which means that all the thrust they produced we're coming from the burning of fuel and not as most modern turbofan engines from the fan. (In modern engines the turbine mostly just drives the fan and almost all the thrust is produced by the fan not the Turbine) The reason the Concorde Turbojets is because they're more efficient at supersonic speeds than Turbofan Engines. And because of the low pressure of air where Concorde was cruising a fan would not have much air to work on. So it was neccesarry to use Turbojets. But as Elon says he wants an electric Jet so an electric motor drives a turbine or a fan and that just shoves air around. The problem is at the altitudes a supersonic jet would cruise at there is not much air to work with so the engines would need to spin really fast thus needing more energy and increasing the necessary amount of batteries to operate the plane safely. I would like to see how Elon would solve the problems of energy requirements and that an engine that produces thrust on only air would only work at cruising altitude of supersonic jets if it is spinning really fast faster than normally. So yeah ... I mean electric jet with hydrogen oxygen fuel cells powering electric motors to drive a fan and produce thrust as a normal engine would there are concepts on that made by Siemens and General Electric. But Elon just pulled this supersonic Vertical Takeoff and Landing electric jet straight out of his ass and said it would work and be viable. Elon science isn't something magic that can overcome every problem you want solved, science and engineering involve math and you if you do the math you can see how difficult or even impossible some things can really be.
the idea was invented and patented with functional model by Henri Coanda at begining of 70s. now of course, these new "inventors" wont pay shit to use the original patent, prolly because they will change the way the doors will open or so...
History speaks - - Up until the early 1960's there was a system used in large department stores to transfer inventory lists, receipts, rubber stamp materials and small parcels in general, from floor to floor - department to department using a pneumatic vacuum tube system. It worked quickly and efficiently but could present some danger if human error entered into the picture. It could crack bones your in the hand- no problem. It would be shut down for hours at a time while the resident plumber found and fixed the air leak. Safety and practicality had the trump card, so they scrapped it.
Good, if he thinks it is not that hard, then he is the guy I want building it. He has a picture of it, and ideal of it, and what to do. He will build it. Ill just be in the backyard trying to make a bird house.
if the idea was anybit seriously possible with todays tech, or even tech thats theorized 20 years in the future, itd have happened already. we understood how a plane had to work before we ever built a plane. we understood the amount of force, and efficiency and all that. well before we ever lifted off the ground. the problem with the hyperloop is that... well, none of the math works. its shit. always has been, and always will be.
I heard that the hyperloop failed. It was most likely because they didn't harness all of the potential energy inside the vacuum tube. An electic train on a rail system in a vacuum tube is not what i had in mind for the hyperloop. I can see a potential use of the electric rail in re-vacuum sealing the tunnel. If they were to seal the car to inside of the tunnel u could get a way higher speed out of your train/pods. But i think the reason they didn't to it in the way i had envisioned would be high stress on the tunnel when shifting from high to low pressure state. It is a lot easier then people think.
Why do they look like they're in completely different places? Who shot this? Time to fire your media team and find someone who knows how to use a camera, CNN.
Cool idea, but what about safety concerns? What if the train stops in the middle of nowhere? Can the passengers exit the vacuum tube? Looks dangerous to me.
Title is misleading but let’s all be honest with ourselves he start this competition because it’ll bring people together all at no or little cost to Elon Musk and be able to go to the step of Hyperloop technology.
I first heard about the Hyperloop concept in a Larry Niven book called "A World Out of Time". Apparently, the concept is a lot older than that book. Using a cushion of air under a vehicle that is running in a vacuum is counter-productive. If there is no air in the tube, where is that air coming from? Or, is he talking about reduced air pressure? In that case, the speed of sound is still the speed of sound. Going super-sonic inside of an enclosed tube is going to require massive amounts of energy and do a lot of damage to all parts of the system. You can't have your cake and eat it too. The only way this works is a near total vacuum and magnetic levitation. I think Elon is honestly doing his best to make this world a better place, but this concept is fundamentally flawed.

In a nut shell we can use our brains rather than our consumerism now we have the tools out there.
+putheflamesou nobody cares about your stupid cult. maybe if you spent just a little more time learning how to communicate rather than learn about some fake solution..
You speak for all...Godly are you?
"I swear its not that hard" - my girlfriend
Elon: You can go anywhere in the world, anywhere!
Oceangate: yep that's true
a scammer is a scammer. vapor promises sucking in investor money.
This feels so edited and I feel like this is something he didn't even say.
Then, you're dumb.
He could have just said "it's not rocket science"
Elon Musk should be the president, this guy will go down in history as the man who done more for humanity and saving the world than anyone else ! Keep all your music icons and Hollywood stars, he is the person I would most like to meet in the world and maybe have a beer with !
+maxpesh Try Jacque Fresco
SHUT THE FUCK you treehugger
+Arjun Reddy I hope you get well soon x
Honestly, him being president would be worse than what he is doing now. If he got into government, he would be caught up in so much red tape and bureaucracy. He is better off running his own company. This is a man who can truthfully say that being president would be a waste of his time.
maxpesh Couldn't have said it better myself. ;v;)/ Cheers, Bud!
"it looks complicated Elon"
"Well, you're Dumb then"
“I swear, it’s not that hard”
Just build a bullet train or maglev! The construction and maintenance of thousands of miles of vacuum tubes would be insanely expensive. You can get up to 200 MPH in a bullet train, and if you really see the need it, 300 MPH with a maglev. If the distance is too great, and 200 - 300 MPH is not fast enough, hop in a plane. (By the way. Their called vacuum tube trains, not hyperloops. Concepts have been around since the early 1900s). Just build a train!
The Hyperloop is very easy when you're not actually committed to building it.
Assembled a simple one in a few minutes. Easy when committed. czcams.com/video/_Kev-JC3LmI/video.html
His interns failed him miserably.
At least the ones he didn't manage to impregnate with his offspring
Thunderf00t has some great videos on this
We can't go to the very bottom of the ocean...
yea we can, it's not going to be a comfortable ride though
we did, not even once.
we've visited the mariana trench
James Cameron can :D
Except that its been done 6 times?
1910 idea over 100 years old sorry musk
where to get full interview?
2:27, for the part where he mentions interns.
If anyone is interested in more information on the Hyperloop here is a document explaining it in www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/files/hyperloop_alpha.pdf
People that are highly intelligent have the patience and will to conversation with others that are not as well versed in their areas of specialty. Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Neil Degrass Tyson, all highly intelligent people but they are all willing to spend time to impart knowledge into people that are willing to talk and learn with them.
So stop calling the interviewer dumb because she repeatedly asked basic questions; every time she did so, Elon went a little more in depth with his answer; she wants to learn from him and he was willing to teach her.
Frank, the interviewer is trying inject some emotion and some surprise at the fact that Elon Musk has basically called the hyperloop easy to do. It's okay for someone to be baffled by that kind of statement, doesn't make her dumb.
If elon musk was smart,he wouldn't build the hyperloop
Haha this comment didn't age well...
"highly intelligent" huh? narcissist conmen can give the illusion of confidence and intelligence because of how effortlessly they lie, but that doesn't make them correct.
would love to see this.. he explained it quite easy
Rachel, you were right. It's difficult and expensive
youd think the owner of one of the leading aerospace companies in the world, would be able to ask his engineers to do 3 seconds of calculation before entering an interview. and then, you'd think that CNN, would do 6 seconds of calculations before airing the interview. it pisses me off how lazy the media is.
Awesome! Let's get'er done...adding lane after lane to our existing highway systems might have been the solution in the 60s & 70s, but it's not keeping up with volume. We need another solution...hyperloop is that solution!
The project was just shut down after failure to show any progress 😕
I think old pal musky is underestimating the practical details to make it work :)
He's talking about a high speed steady state but it has to start from low speed where the air pressure is nil and it will need to ride on wheels. And it might need to ride on wheels up to say 500km/h and those systems have to be very light. And then there is the propulsion where the blades have to slot into the magnetic coils very precisely or things go wrong very quickly. Off the top of my head I think either the air cushion arms or the magnetic blade arms have to be actively tracking so they can compensate for oscillation and earthquakes.
The amount of copper for those coils and wiring in the tube might not be entirely trivial either. A fair amount of power electronics has to be in place and reliably well coordinated. And servicing can be a bitch. I can't hunch the amount of coils needed to overcome the pressure at mach 1 but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an intractable amount.
Reliability has to be a lot better than Tesla cars.
I hunch that they would be much better off doing it as a rail way running on wheels. As desert runs have shown, you can run above mach 1 on wheels so in a smooth pipe in vacuum it should be a piece of cake. The rolling resistance could be very small and run on magnetic bearings.
There's only 1 thing I don't agree with, we haven't discovered everything on earth and we can't even access the majority. He's forgetting the deep waters. We have a lot to learn from them!
You missed the point. We in fact didn't but the fact is that we can with existing tech. It's just a matter of time.
SovietButcher but we don't have a lot to learn from them about human well being or creating utopia which is what I think he means. A scientist will do more good for the world by studying battery technology than deep sea squids.
In fact arguably it's actually unethical for a talented person to be a marine biologist when they could've worked on green energy instead.
SovietButcher He never said we discovered everything! He said the “majority" of it.
well unless theres some super useful or important unknown resource/element that can only be aqcuired by traveling down to the bottom of the worlds ocean then there is very little reason to devote resources to exploring or habituating it. its like if someone tells you hey bro, theres a really really small chance that if you go into this underwater cave tunnel system youll find gold and make a fortune. will you risk your life or the lives of others for that possibility? as far as i see it, its better that mankind devotes itself to becoming a multiplanitary species first and then later masters all of the earth, itll decrease the likely hood that well all be wiped out by a hyper cataclysmic event such as a nearby supernova from neighboring star systems, nuclear war, a massive meteoric collision, or a rapidly mutating super virus.
RNG zus
Not the supernova one. We're still in the solar system, so if a supernova happens next door, we're dead.
4 years later……..
what happens if the pod breaks, or if there is an accident? All that high pressure air coming in to fill the vaccum would hit the pod with a tremendous G's. No?
Is efficient transport the same as high speed speedy transport? Does enabling high speed movements alone contribute to more physical portability in humans?
It's a great idea, the only issue I see in Calif is earthquakes, or any other place that has them. The tube can be damaged in one and if a pod is heading through at 700mph, that would pose a problem.
+Glenn Olua consequences shmonsequences
+pandarama67 I suppose you would feel better if a quake came and cars went off a bridge instead?
Maybe you would feel better if some cars went off the bridge...lol great thinking on your part... I just stated a fact as Calif has a history of earthquakes if your not aware of that...
Glenn Olua Yep I'm aware. I live in the middle of it. My only point was that you sounded a bit negative on the hyper loop idea because we could have an earthquake while the hyper loop was on its journey. My counter point was that while it is true that could happen but those same people who were caught in that potential accident could have just as easily been on a bridge somewhere during an earthquake and gone into the ocean. Im not saying your wrong, I'm just saying the chances of someone getting killed go from one technology to the other so whats the difference? We shouldn't let potential random natural disasters slow down our progress though we should put as many safeguards as possible to protect those we can when they do. Cheers!
I have a namefolit, name for it which is called the hyperscam
can i know the software u used to do the animation
Elon Musk is the Humanitarian GENIUS of the 21st Century.
Hyperloop is a Brilliant Idea.
I think we can give him the benefit of the doubt at this point. He seems real enough so far.

Morons in comment section saying it's not hard, yet there still isn't a Hyperloop; and these comments are like from 5 months ago.
Its not that simple at all. You would have to make sure that the tube coukd expand and contract with outside tempatures. The tube would have to be reinforced or armored as a slight dent could cause collapse as the vaccum inside is sucking the walls in (basicaly you would need thick walls, which is very expensive). A vaccum failure could launch the pod like a bullet in a barrel, sending it to break neck speeds, safety measures of extream magnatude would have to be devised. The hyperloop would be a multi trillion dollar project, Elon makes it sound like its just some advanced type of train.
Can any one clarify how exactly hyper loop is better than an electric bus on rails running underground?
Something that might be compared to a subway?
Musk's stuff has better CGI. Other than that, I don't know.
U can go to anywhere? When did we explore the oceans?
0:34 That chick wants him so bad
Did I hear "vertical take off and landing electric jet" , is that even possible? what provides the thrust??
0:34 try going to the deepest part of the sea
When it's not that hard, why are we still in the test stadium?
This video is over 4 years old.
Bring it on, Elon!! It's sooo easy!
But nope, still testing.
Hey there, it's been another year now! I think it's still in testing...
@@anak5880 lol. Elon is a joke
Well electricity itself was very easy by Edison why not hyperloop by musky ,,☺👍
Okay regarding this vtol electric concorde thing he said (Vertical Takeoff and Landing Jet)
I did some maths
The Concordes engines consumed 10500 kgs/hr of jet fuel, that is 2.92 kgs/s of Kerosene.
Which would amount to 124.98 MJ/s so 124.98 Megawatts.
The most capable battery we have is a lithium metal battery which contains 1.8 MJ/kg so you would need roughly 69.44 KG of lithium metal battery just to power the engines for ONE SECOND. And that is only doing this math at cruise where each engine produces only 10000lbs of thrust per engine.
During Takeoff the Concorde used Afterburners. If those we're running the engines produced a thrust 38050lbs per engine and would consume 22500 kgs/hr which is 6.25 kgs/s of kerosene. Which amounts to an energy of 267,5 MJ/s using the same type of battery as before you would need 148.62 Kg to power the engine again for only ONE SECOND.
To put it differently the fuel tanks onboard concorde could carry 94470kg of Jet Fuel. Which amounts to 4043316 MJ and using only batteries to power those you would need 2246286.7 kgs of batteries. And that is only for Concorde which wasn't VTOL.
It had a thrust to weight ratio of 0.373 in order for it to be VTOL it would need a thrust to weight ratio of >1 and to have it in the box let's say it is 1.1, the same as the Av-8 Harrier. That would mean that the engines would need to produce a maximum thrust of 448800 lbs per engine that would 112200 lbs of thrust. And he plans that to do with electricity. And also bear in mind that the four Rolls-Royce/SNECMA Olympus 593 Mrk610 engines on the concorde we're TURBOJET, which means that all the thrust they produced we're coming from the burning of fuel and not as most modern turbofan engines from the fan. (In modern engines the turbine mostly just drives the fan and almost all the thrust is produced by the fan not the Turbine) The reason the Concorde Turbojets is because they're more efficient at supersonic speeds than Turbofan Engines. And because of the low pressure of air where Concorde was cruising a fan would not have much air to work on. So it was neccesarry to use Turbojets. But as Elon says he wants an electric Jet so an electric motor drives a turbine or a fan and that just shoves air around. The problem is at the altitudes a supersonic jet would cruise at there is not much air to work with so the engines would need to spin really fast thus needing more energy and increasing the necessary amount of batteries to operate the plane safely. I would like to see how Elon would solve the problems of energy requirements and that an engine that produces thrust on only air would only work at cruising altitude of supersonic jets if it is spinning really fast faster than normally. So yeah ... I mean electric jet with hydrogen oxygen fuel cells powering electric motors to drive a fan and produce thrust as a normal engine would there are concepts on that made by Siemens and General Electric. But Elon just pulled this supersonic Vertical Takeoff and Landing electric jet straight out of his ass and said it would work and be viable. Elon science isn't something magic that can overcome every problem you want solved, science and engineering involve math and you if you do the math you can see how difficult or even impossible some things can really be.
"we can go anywhere on earth" Im gonna goto the bottom of an ocean
That sound great👍
the idea was invented and patented with functional model by Henri Coanda at begining of 70s. now of course, these new "inventors" wont pay shit to use the original patent, prolly because they will change the way the doors will open or so...
can you really travel everywhere on earth though? i mean i cant take a boat to the bottom of the Mariana trench
History speaks - - Up until the early 1960's there was a system used in large department stores to transfer inventory lists, receipts, rubber stamp materials and small parcels in general, from floor to floor - department to department using a pneumatic vacuum tube system. It worked quickly and efficiently but could present some danger if human error entered into the picture. It could crack bones your in the hand- no problem. It would be shut down for hours at a time while the resident plumber found and fixed the air leak. Safety and practicality had the trump card, so they scrapped it.
If you go fast enough won't you get to your destination BEFORE you've even left your house?
Yeah I can also make one
Good, if he thinks it is not that hard, then he is the guy I want building it. He has a picture of it, and ideal of it, and what to do. He will build it. Ill just be in the backyard trying to make a bird house.
+Richard T I think someone completely different ended up doing it. like he took no part of it :/
Jazmin Zenteno I saw, but it's still awesome.
THAT WAS THE IDEA BEHIND IT
somebody else was supposed to do it.
damn, read a few comments before posting, or even try and search it on the internet.
When I have the money anything is easy
His interns form MIT can do it.
im from the future and his interns still haven't done it, nor Elon himself, i think it's cancelled for being a dumb pipe dream, get it
if the idea was anybit seriously possible with todays tech, or even tech thats theorized 20 years in the future, itd have happened already. we understood how a plane had to work before we ever built a plane. we understood the amount of force, and efficiency and all that. well before we ever lifted off the ground. the problem with the hyperloop is that... well, none of the math works. its shit. always has been, and always will be.
I heard that the hyperloop failed. It was most likely because they didn't harness all of the potential energy inside the vacuum tube. An electic train on a rail system in a vacuum tube is not what i had in mind for the hyperloop. I can see a potential use of the electric rail in re-vacuum sealing the tunnel. If they were to seal the car to inside of the tunnel u could get a way higher speed out of your train/pods. But i think the reason they didn't to it in the way i had envisioned would be high stress on the tunnel when shifting from high to low pressure state. It is a lot easier then people think.
It didn't fail. It was successful. Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho!
its a god damn air hockey table in a vacuum tube
0:33 I would argue about deep ocean, but yeah I get his point.
Anyone with some carbon fiber scraps and a PlayStation controller can explore deep oceans these days!
Why do they look like they're in completely different places? Who shot this? Time to fire your media team and find someone who knows how to use a camera, CNN.
Greenscreen
Im i the only one who thought that girl literally had no idea what elon is talking about
Why not use an existing railway network to build the 1st Hyperloop test system on? Australia?
Cool idea, but what about safety concerns? What if the train stops in the middle of
nowhere? Can the passengers exit the vacuum tube? Looks dangerous to me.
Did they edit out the “my interns could do it” comment? I don’t see it but I recall it and the title mentions it.
Title is misleading but let’s all be honest with ourselves he start this competition because it’ll bring people together all at no or little cost to Elon Musk and be able to go to the step of Hyperloop technology.
I first heard about the Hyperloop concept in a Larry Niven book called "A World Out of Time". Apparently, the concept is a lot older than that book.
Using a cushion of air under a vehicle that is running in a vacuum is counter-productive. If there is no air in the tube, where is that air coming from?
Or, is he talking about reduced air pressure? In that case, the speed of sound is still the speed of sound. Going super-sonic inside of an enclosed tube is going to require massive amounts of energy and do a lot of damage to all parts of the system. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
The only way this works is a near total vacuum and magnetic levitation.
I think Elon is honestly doing his best to make this world a better place, but this concept is fundamentally flawed.
Ok mr musk now explain to the world the hyperloops safety features we are eager to hear.
egt super dit zeg

I made a hyperloop in the bath when i was a child... It was not as effective, but it worked well enough.... I agree that it is not that hard...
