Vacuum train

Scientists build super-maglev train that could hit 1,800 mph

23 May 2014 The idea of running a maglev train in a vacuum, therefore, seems a logical one. It would increase its potential top speed and improve its energy. 10 Jul 2012 Here.s the plan – for step one, Terraspan would like to build a backbone network of underground vacuum tube train tunnels linking eastern.

Coast through the vacuum for the remainder of the trip using no additional power. Compared to high speed rail, ET3 needs only 1/20th the material to build. 16 Jan 2015 The design has much in common with Elon Musk.s plans for a vacuum train called the Hyperloop (illustrated), only instead of connecting Los.

1 Jun 2012 Vacuum trains promise to speed between Europe and the US faster than a plane. But will they ever make it off the drawing board. 16 Jan 2015 It.s based on the very high speed transit (VHST) system proposed in 1972 which combines a magnetic levitation train and a vacuum. It evolves. 13 Jul 2012 The greater injustice, though, is that we have all the technology we.d need to make frictionless, mag-lev vacuum tunnel trains capable of. 12 Aug 2013 ET3 claims such a vacuum-tube system could be built for one-tenth the transportation with high-speed trains in enormous pneumatic tubes. 13 Aug 2013 Though Musk.s hyperloop will run in a partial vacuum, it wasn.t Ten years later, an electric train in Germany hit 131 mph, fast enough to be. 12 2004 But supersonic speeds require another critical step: eliminating the air--and therefore air friction--from the train.s path. A vacuum would also. 4 Jun 2012 Above, a mockup of the inside of an ET3 vacuum train. __. You could call it a pipe dream. That.s how the BBC refers to it on its website, where a.

12 Aug 2013 a rail gun and an air hockey table”. The concept involves firing frictionless, magnetically levitated pod vehicles through a near-vacuum tunnel. 10 Jul 2012 one day soon, trains traveling through vacuum tunnels could whisk passengers from New York to London in an hour, hitting speeds of up 2,500.

Elon Musk thinks he can get you from NY to LA in 45 minutes

17 May 2014 Scientists at Southwest Jiaotong University in China have built a prototype testing platform for a near-vacuum high-speed maglev train that is. 9 May 2014 China.s Maglev Train Prototype Could Reach Speeds of 1,800 MPH Elon Musk.s Hyperloop: run the train inside a vacuum tube, removing air.
