Hyperloop – Inevitable Failure

The hyper loop was always a crazy man’s ambitious gamble, with overwhelming odds stacked against it. Some may say that the signs of its inevitable failure were all over it… or were they?

  1. Hyperloop is economically doomed. The cost of building & maintaining vs profitability is way to bad.
    The only country that doesn't seem to care about the profit is China with 90% of high speed trains lines losing money.

  2. It would be a good concept if trains/subways haven't been invented yet. Sure, Hyperloop is more efficient, but considering the cost and building, might as well stick to trains and make those more efficient and widely accessible.

  3. In order to destroy citerns, people create vacuum inside the tanks and it instantly collapse on itself unable to support the pressure of the atmosphere, i would never feel safe in a vacuum tube.

  4. Oh look, trains but worse. Anyone that promises to revolutionize transportation has almost always just invented trains/buses/cars but worse. Millions of dollars are wasted on things that are worse than what we already have instead of spending that money on proven methods to create actual public transportation

  5. High speed trains already have a bunch of big problems because of the speed that have absolutelly nothing to do with air resistance
    Add hundred os KM of a vacuum tube, even more speed related problems, size contraints because big tube = bigger vacuum chamber to deal with
    And the absolutelly massive safety problem that is to have a tunnel that people can't get out of the train
    Maintenance would be a nightmare too, and a dude with a gun would be able to do millions in damage from miles away puncturing the tube, or even cause an accident

    Just dumb

  6. I don't understand why they are trying to fight the air resistance when they could instead move the air with the train. Pressurize the tube, and have it in a closed loop and make it so the air is pushed along with the train.

  7. Hyperloop is a technically and economically viable technology worthy of considerable investment. Fusion, quantum computing, space solar power, and the space elevator, are the kinds of concepts that we should be either wary of or entirely dismissive of.

  8. This is the best explanation of why it might be a good idea that I have ever heard. But I still don't think vacuum technology is ready. Maybe in a century as you say. But I don't know if the risk of blowouts can ever be overcome.
