H.P. Hovercraft posted:also eliminate any horizontal and especially vertical curves in the path of travel the number of technical challenges that hyperloop faces is astonishing and the fanboys online treat them like minor details. compared to the grand idea of "go faster because there is less air resistance". hell the entire idea is a crazy violation of the KISS principle: pull enough vacuum to reduce air resistance but leave enough air in the tube to allow for the passenger pod to use a combination of rams and pumps to concentrate and redirect the air to the outer skin of the pod to form a bastardized hybrid hydrodynamic/hydrostatic bearing, selectively increasing pressure to particular surfaces when cornering to prevent contact between the pod and the tube at relative speeds 10x that of a bench grinder.

Wrath of the Bitch King posted:got any reading on this by any chance? wouldn't mind checking it out. they were generally called atmospheric railways. there are a number of good articles out there about them and they were generally promised to be the solution to the problem of running steam engines underground. even then they were smart enough to notice that enclosing the passenger pod inside of the vacuum pipe would inevitably lead to horrific deaths. so they had the passenger compartment hooked to a piston mounted in an extremely long vacuum pipe. unfortunately at the time elastomers were not exactly something you would get in bulk so the state of the art in sealing stuff was to slather the two components in tallow. which worked great until the rats turned up.

He was also in financial trouble beforehand, and hadn't really worked out the methods of handling dozens of stations and miles of track, as would be necessary. Also the post office systems were just simple pneumatic tubes like many hospitals still use. Paper and parcels don't much care about oxygen and noise levels.

ShadowHawk posted:Is there a reason nobody's proposing this now? Like why not just have the locomotive in the vacuum tube and have the things that need to go in/out in a non-vacuum setup. there's two different concepts here first is a pneumatic tube system, or pneumatic railway, which uses pressure differentials in the pipe to move stuff around. that's the 19th-century idea, and the one where they proposed two tubes so the passengers wouldn't suffocate. it's not particularly fast. its reason for existence is that you can theoretically power the whole system with a big compressor/pump at each end, and the lines are just dumb pipes. the other idea is a vacuum train, where the pipe is kept in a high vacuum and the trains are driven inside with some other method (regular electric motor, linear induction motor, maglev, etc). i think these started to be proposed in the 1950s or something. the advantage to them is that the trains can go way faster because they don't have to deal with drag. hyperloop is an attempt at building a vacuum train, not a pneumatic railway.
