It's a plausible concept, it has a whole bunch of engineering and safety issues, it'll take actual engineering work to see whether those are surmountable or not.

Reckon they should just make a big air hockey table style track and have some rubber baby buggy bumpers and you just have big long fanboats, like bayou stylee.

One of the issues is that even if all the engineering and safety problems are solved, at the speeds they're looking at, the passengers will be exposed to the kind of vertical and lateral accelerations closer to that you'd expect in a roller coaster. And there's no way to get away from that without making the track dead flat and straight from A to B. You can bank the vehicle around a corner to reduce the horizontal jerking motion, but all that does is transfer lateral acceleration into vertical acceleration which humans are even more sensitive to, and is more likely to cause motion sickness. It's not gonna kill anyone, but that doesn't mean it's gonna be a pleasant ride.

the main problem with hyperloop is san francisco to LA is pretty much the only route in the world you could build it between that isn't close enough for regular high speed rail

After you take the hyperloop from SF to LA what do you do next? You don't have your car with you, and nobody in LA walks anywhere.

The Protagonist posted:pfft, lame, i bet the loop pods come to a complete stop sometimes This kind of confused me at first, because the upper part is the only part with passengers, unless the rest of the train is full of passengers going express from the first to last stop. Somehow I thought the people were somehow going from the top of the train to one of those upper cars.. but no. It's a cool idea though.

Somehow I thought the people were somehow going from the top of the train to one of those upper cars.. but no. It's a cool idea though. There must be a way to travel between the main train and the little embark hat. When the next station in your stop you go up into the hat, which is left at the station. A staircase or a ladder or something. Though how that would work with some lady with a stroller or wheelchair I don't know.
