one of these concepts could be the hyperloop the idea isn t near the basic principle behind the hyperloop has been around for well over one hundred years it s based on a system of transport that was designs not for people but for letters and documents the pneumatic mount to win. in new york city a large network of pneumatic mell tubes once connected entire districts. these tubes also delivered mail within buildings from one floor to the next. placed inside capsules documents were propelled through tubes at speeds of up to forty kilometers per hour using compressed air. the capsule fits so snugly in the tube that no air can escape along the sides. air is sucked out of the tube in front of the capture of creating
western germany in the mid one nine hundred eighty s. the transfer of p. didn t glide through a vacuum tube but it did use magnets for propulsion the maglev train had a top speed of four hundred twelve kilometers per hour faster than modern intercity express trains in your. concept of the twenty second two thousand and six in the middle of its test route the transfer repeat collided with a maintenance fare call that was mistakenly on the track twenty three people were killed and ten were injured. today the former test track lies in ruins after the accident the german trans repeat could no longer find an investor. however the system went into operation elsewhere in shanghai
as doctors are all part of his particularly interesting because we have shorter distances here than hyperloop system is perfect for distances where the travel time is around forty minutes to an hour that s especially interesting at a time in which europe seems to be falling apart a bit it s one way we could bring people together more becoming the new lloyd to matters i m bringing. our band has signed a contract with the city of toulouse to establish his research center here even though his company has yet to build a functioning prototype. no decision has been reached whether france will venture to build a hyperloop network in a city like paris hyperloop would only be feasible if the station were easily accessible. but most cities already have a central railway station traffic routes to the outskirts of the city tend to be
then we continue to develop it it s a little safe. for example we could first use the system to transport freights so people wouldn t be at risk. then when we see the system the safe we could start to transport people. today international trade relies mainly on container ships. compared to the hyperloop there are believably slow large container ships have a top speed of just twenty three knots that s around forty two kilometers per hour . freight transport is already seriously overburdened and in the coming years the transport of goods is expected to rise by thirty eight percent. that s probably a bit of a problem with freight transport is that a system like the hyperloop would only be worthwhile for transporting goods for longer distances say three hundred kilometers and the kinds of goods that could
with a hyperloop the journey would take just thirty six minutes and the energy for the hyperloop could in theory be delivered by solar cells on the roof of the chub the energy generated by braking could also be stopped because i m too strange that we completely entire system is completely eco friendly signboard but that s not simply because we wanted to be eco friendly card in mind that you can argue that securely when it comes to the field of alternative energy because of the true advantages become apparent when we deploy that alternative energy to our own advantage first and ones on fire so in our case we d put solar cells on the route along the entire infrastructure like a lot of them of them infertile poor and languish quicker and so on in california we could generate all the energy we need and simply using solar power and argue for alignments all our op that s a concern of then there s also wind and kinetic energy in fort that would keep our
