Hyperloop? I am just asking myself a few very "basic" technical questions:
Can someone explain to me how:
1) Do you plan to make a hyperloop transport of> 10 Tons take the slightest "small" turn launched at 1200 km / h?
2) Can we compensate for the expansion of tubes hundreds of miles long?
3) Pass a propulsive magnetic field through metal tubes?
4) If "plastic" type tubes, how to compensate for expansion / temperature / diameter differences?
5) Realize seals holding such characteristics (diameter, Delta pressure, Delta T, ...)
6) Make an "economical" infrastructure Vs LGV given the mass of material necessary for the vacuum tubes (thickness> 30mm!)
7) Compensate for a (unavoidable) failure of levitation motors (wheels / pads holding at 1200 km / h?)
Compensate for variations in electrical production of PV panels? (hyper mega batteries powerful / polluting?)
9) Compensate ground level deviations (J / N dilation, hygrometry, rain, drought, lunar attraction, Delta T, Delta P, ...)
10) Compensate for misalignment (abutments, movement of ground, settlement, expansion of supports, wind, ...)
Etc. ..
PS: I have a little fun ... I'm just amazed at the enthusiasm for a project that is not based on any serious scientific foundation or in-depth study, proto, demonstrator, pilot, or ... !
