Ryan Janzen is a scientist, engineering researcher, and artist. His work, featured on the Discovery Channel, the World Expo in Shanghai and the Metropolitan Museum in New York, embodies a fusion between science, technology and art, and has led to advances in acoustics, optics, aerospace electronics, mathematics, and vehicle propulsion.
Janzen is co-founder and CTO of TransPod, working to design ultra-high-speed aerospace vehicles, moving passengers and cargo between cities faster, with reduced dependency on fossil fuels - creating the future of transportation.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
It doesn't matter how many "collaborators" you have; funding is what is important. High-speed rail would accomplish roughly the same thing but be much cheaper, and it already has working examples.
Hyperloop is a low capacity system, using roughly the same amount of steel, concrete, and land as high speed rail built built to much tighter tolerances. The passenger experience will be an order of magnitude worse than rail or air, and nobody has demonstrated one faster than what high speed rail can do.
or than evan a high speed car and the existing short track costed like 100 million dollars for 500 meters and didn't even get the people anywhere
This was really inspiring and opened by mind to the endless possibilities that present themselves when cities are connected at an ultra high speed! Thank You Ryan Janzen ! Thank You TED x Talks !
I like the Idea
I appreciate the Presentation
It is too early to talk about Economy class and Business class till such time the method is feasible
I encourage your idea
Bicycle path way better for . Society and business
thank you for helping me move forward
Man this all sounds so great.... Until they actually implement it!
This idea actually great, but it will hardly to test in practical. For example, the airline alone itself can travel to anywhere, any direction. This need hug investment on the tube and also the machine. Nothing is impossible and may be one day this will become popular, thanks for your research
Under the sea this tunnel project would be more efficient to move from continent to continent. How people could be saved if the train start to burn inside for any unknown reason, what is the emergent exit?
Is this a pipe dream!
ba dum chssh
Yay, building the biggest implosive known to man
academics do academic things -- industry does what it can, based on generating measurable value, treading lightly to avoid making deadly mistakes and guesses along the way.
Want to know a future of transportation that wouldn’t impact the environment? Eliminate the car
Exciting times. Canada has a history of innovation in aerospace engineering. It would be great to see this come to fruition.
This is the future
Für eine starke Schiene
I wonder how will it feel like inside a tube , it’ll like staying in a dark closed place . Republication of sun light wouldn’t be the answer , especially hyperloop has no windows at all. It’s a dark closed small room.
well... why dark tho? wont there be any artificial lights?
This is high speed super train between two cities. As the speed is very fast, it is unable to travel a short distance. So, we must also look at how to make short distance travel more efficient. We must make a study to understand, how much fuel is wasted on the city travel and how much fuel is used in high speed transport and what is the saving. I believe the current transport system using roads as a mean is outdated. Roads system takes up a lot of space and it is heavily dependent on wheeler vehicles. If we can find a new transport vehicle that does not travel on wheel, we do not need to have roads. Something like making use of gravity, magnetic field where positive particle and negative particle will repulse each other and move the vehicle forward, like what is used in Germany technology, but, can the idea be adopted in a smaller scale? This idea can be wild, but, if we can make use of gravity to travel, e do not have to use any fuel.
or just learn to ride a bike
Or like super quiet, fast transport drones, fully autonomous ofc
Very clear thought. This is what our future need to have but implementation might be in next generation only.
Sounds good in theory, but it will be way too expensive.
He must have been a Bank Teller, they transport all them checks inside vaccuum powered TUBES!
See you soon in France in the village of droux
Bicycles, bicycles, bicycles
I think variety of personal transportation in cities will be the answer such as bicycle, electrical scooters , one-seater vehicles , etc .
This summer Toronto has seen many people using electrical scooter for urban transport to avoid using over crowded TTC especially it’s Covid-19 , private means of transportation is important.
The rail version of Concorde? Expensive, ridiculous and for the elite?
Still waiting for the emergency exit
This comment section has ZERO forward thinking humans, What a waist of brain power.
Define forward! There are many ways and directions to go.
Trains.
Fortunately our ancestors did not choose sustainability they chose progress.
@sundiii99OWS What proof? Tell me, please, I'm interested.
0:47 Americans, don’t, just don’t....😂

Tell the women from Montreal to not bother going to New York. She wants to travel hundreds of miles for what? Buy a doughnut?
Don't watch, it's hyperloop bs.
Your warning should be the top comment, good sir. Seems like the hypeloop sales pitches are everywhere.
or ride a bike.... :-)
lapland123 cause you're gonna ride a bike from Toronto to Halifax right? Genius.
Why would you want to go to West Yorkshire?
And have higher chances of accidents?
Bicycle
Rxhim.... . So you're going to take this rail 4 miles down the road?. Genius
This didn't age well.
This didn’t age well. Surely tedx should delete this
What a bunch of BS. Hyperscam!!
It's real tho
'We'll think of cities more as 'home'." He has some interesting points, but peppers them with bull$&/t. Not the best way to present.
great idea,terrible presentation,come on, who on earth let him behind the wheel?
