Today's question: what the heck is the hyperloop?
Here's the short answer: It's that tube thing that gets you from A to B really quickly.
Unfortunately, most people haven't even heard of it.
So here we are in the heart of Columbus, Ohio to spread the word about tube travel.
Have you ever heard of the hyperloop?
Hyperloop, that term sounds familiar, but I couldn't tell you what it is.
Have not no.
No.
Nope.
Yes, maybe it was like a post on facebook or something digital that came out pretty recently.
Yes actually yeah.
Yes I have too.
Cool, where did you guys hear about it?
Youtube.
I read it in a magazine in Japan.
Are you familiar with how it works?
No, I know it's with transportation.
I know that it's a project with Elon Musk.
He's doing like the super maglev.
Yeah all I heard about it is it's supposed to use new technology stuff
and it's just supposed to be ultra fast transportation.
It's all supposed to be cheap and like energy efficient
That's the whole goal is it's supposed to save on emissions
and help save the planet and get people where they need to go.
Yeah, have you ridden it before?
Oh, no.
So it doesn't exist yet.
So it's a new form of transportation.
It's probably going to be built in the next few years or so.
It's basically a really fast transportation system through a tube, like kind of think Jetsons.
It's in a tube, so you can take all of the air out and reduce the air resistance.
You magnetically levitate a vehicle inside of it and push it through.
One of the benefits of this is once you get the vehicle going,
it keeps going because there's no friction.
You won't have to spend money on fuel.
You'll need a little bit of electricity to run the vacuum pumps
and a little bit to speed up the vehicles,
but then when the vehicles slow down, they actually regenerate that energy.
So like planes can go five or six hundred miles per hour.
This would initially go about that, but as the technology advances,
you're probably going to see speeds in the thousands.
In the far future, you could have a route going around the whole world,
and maybe it would take about an hour,
which is drastically different than what you would get with a plane.
I mean it sounds pretty green, environmentally.
I'm assuming that it came out for a reason,
and it's a little bit more advanced than what we have right now.
Elon Musk is one of those kind of guys that likes to reach really far into the future
and then try to pull us towards it.
I like his ideas.
They did say by 2020 we're supposed to have flying cars,
and he's trying to make stuff like that happen, so you gotta respect it.
Do you have any concerns about tube travel?
Taxpayer dollars and things like that I could see people having an issue with,
but no I don't have any concerns with it.
I think it's unrealistic.
But I'm sure people thought that flying in planes would be unrealistic too.
I think it's unrealistic with the funds that are in the government,
and I don't think people would use it in that way.
I guess I would have questions on what's the return on investment for something like that for transportation.
So there's probably going to be a pretty high capital cost when you first build it,
but the nice thing is, because there's no friction,
there's very little cost associated with electricity to power it.
And then because the pods are floating, they're not contacting anything, very few moving parts,
there's going to be really low maintenance costs.
What would the main routes be?
I mean how would it pay for itself?
Is Columbus to Cincinatti going to be a main route?
Is it just going to just be local like airport travelers to downtown.
Probably in the beginning, they're going to be between two different cities that are close to each other
so something like Columbus and Cincinnati, somewhere in the hundred-mile range.
What you're looking at, is you want to go far enough that you wouldn't want to drive that distance,
but not far enough that you would take a plane, so that it is in that market gap.
Do have any concerns about the speeds involved with this?
Yeah, what does it do to the human body?
Basically speed has nothing to do with what you're feeling.
Speed is all relative.
What we feel is our accelerations.
So if I jump up and down, I'm feeling that acceleration because I'm changing my velocity.
Would you need a staff like a conductor, or would it be pretty low-maintenance.
So it would be completely automated and backup systems to prevent any failures.
In terms of safety, it would be the safest form of transportation that we have so far.
Would you ride it?
Yeah I would definitely ride it.
Do you think you guys would ride in it?
Oh absolutely yeah.
Just for the pure experience yeah.
Tube travel is much more likely to happen if we know what it is and if we talk about it.
I strongly encourage you to tell your friends and family about this concept,
and hopefully they'll tell others.
But I think it's stupid to travel through tubes.
Why would I promote that?
That's ok.
If you don't agree with tube travel, you should argue against it.
Criticism will either strengthen the idea by pointing out its flaws
or prevent a flawed system from being built.
I value this criticism far more than blind support,
so if you're still skeptical about tube travel in any way, please leave a comment below,
and I'll try to address it in a future video.
Special thanks to everyone who shared my previous video, and as always, thanks for watching,
and I hope to see you next time on Tube Travel.
