FunkyMetahuman:
That's exactly almost the same speed as sound.

One crash from that is is definitely instant death
But wouldn't mind travelling in that

Speed of sound = 1971516 km/h
Thanks.

FunkyMetahuman:
you are right though.

Not really.
I'm just fan of speed or science generally.

now i know where ur naivity came from.....

Its pure aerodynamics......reach about mach number,shock waves and supersonic speed.u will know why they that 25 km/hr is significant

naijacampu:
Speed of sound = 32858.6 Km/H Thanks.

lol

My concern apart from security is health-wise. Won't pressure/G-force(force of acceleration) have an adverse effect on the human cells and other organelles of the body?

I believe it is in centripetal and centrifugal situations that health problem as well as g-LOC, ( gravity induced loss of consciousness) occur. Astronauts travel at at least escape velocity, and are fine all the same.

I don't think train tracks are as expensive as these tubes here, and not sure trains can be derailed by a c4

They can be derailed by C4 also its not about how expensive it is , its about providing a faster more efficient means of transportation

martineverest:
Faster than aeroplane..... They almost got to Mach 1.that would be disastrous on land vehicle

Av u seen the fastest car in the world? it reached mach 1 without losing any parts.
its bloodhound ssc, the video of d car is on youtube

I'm not talking based on fares, I premise my opinion on the cost of installation and the amount of casualties should anything go wrong, this could be an easy target for terrorists

It's a gradual acceleration to that speed, it's not like a sport car that'll go from 0-1200km/hr in 60 seconds!

martineverest:
the designer,aerospace engineer,purposely targeted that speed to avoid disaster...thats y bugatti veyron can go beyond its current speed.....its only jets that fly above such speed successfully.concorde airlines was the only commercial airline that flew above mach one.


BTW,are u a mechanical/aerospace engineer?

You're right about everything though the Concorde had a Soviet sister who flew earlier than her called the Tupolev144 (aka Concordski)

Low pressure. Did you read the article?

av seen this..about Five yrs ago....mind u,this is an xperiment.they can never be used commercially or outside labs.....even if they are used,they wudnt be driven as supersonic speed.....even supersonic jets are mostly unmanned

Na now naija de make noise about those steam trains for kaduna
Is ok

Elon Musk is not supposed to be born in this age, the guy ought to have been born in the future, his reasoning, no be here oh. Since 2004 I have known this guy and followed his activities. The guy is a superhuman and did I mention about hi IQ level

But space shuttles also have the effect now.

These guys are always thinking ahead, raising the bars and making headway. Back in Africa, we are 'blessed' with vision-less leaders who cannot see beyond parochial interest and ethnic sentiments. Something has to give soon!

QueenSuccubus, believe me when I said you are very funny... I was cut out from replying mentions a while ago... Don't know why sha.

Hope my mention didn't get you upset in anyway.?

Hyper loop

I didn't had a chance to read ur reply..when I saw it, it's already hidden

Alright ma'am... Do take care of your self and our sweet NUNU...

When ever am bored, I think your hilarious comments could come handy

Well,you sound intelligent but I hope you know some planes can go almost that fast?

whoever wrote the above is damn intelligent

haha...ayam a mechanical engineer......specialised on aerodynamics during my final yr

I know what you meant .... also if they place an IED on train tracks and blow off a significant portion of it , its the same result , probably worse , because the damage will spill into the surroundings

fr3do:
Thunderfoot, a youtube channel discussed the dangers of the Hyperloop.
Like sealing failure and stuff.

People said same during the era of planes.
