“You are being a little too technical for me,” laughed Doris, “but I think I get a fair idea of what you are talking about. And it really is interesting. How is the rest of it done?” “By superimposing certain other frequencies on the carrier waves that comprise the tunnel walls...
How a Pneumatic Tube Works By: Patrick J. Kiger | Updated: Apr 18, 2024 You can still see pneumatic tubes in action at your bank drive-up window. Ryan McVay/Photodisc/Getty Images For someone who was born after, say 1992, it's probably difficult to imagine, but there was a time...
Artificial intelligenceis transforming how we design and build. By 2050, the effects of AI adoption will be widely felt across all aspects of our daily lives. As the world faces a number of urgent and complex challenges, from the climate crisis to housing, AI has the potential to make the...
The global maritime port operator DP World will determine if the Hyperloop dream can come true and what advancements Hyperloop might bring to the region and shipping on a global scale. "This is about testing in real terms how much it costs and how much we can save because if it works in...
The premise behind future transportation is not to increase volume with higher density travel or larger planes and trains; it’s to increase volume with lower density capsules and higher frequency. watch now VIDEO01:35 How the Virgin Hyperloop works ...
"Well I don't know how he (Pisheva) can know those things. I think in general competition is good. I mean, when we started out back in 2013 we realized that it needed to be a movement. And part of a movement is that there are also other companies that are trying to do the...
OK, so the plan is to accomodate the thermal expansion of over 300 miles of pipe with some tube-in-tube slip joints at either end. Let’s do a few calculations to see how this works. It’ll be fun. You may remember from physics that the thermal expansion and contraction of solids is...
2.7 mile long tunnel through the heart of West LA. The Boring Company believes they will complete this tunnel in 9 months. Don’t laugh. SpaceX is now routinely reusing first stage rocket boosters, an achievement that eluded NASA for decades. And imagine how long it would take LA Metro to...
"It's been really stressful, but a lot of fun," Savage said. "Getting to meet all the teams has been a really great experience." It's also been a chance for the students to see how engineering works in the real world. "No one had experience on such a big project coming into the...
Pishevar said Wednesday that he now sees the system "getting operational in the new few years." Hyperloop One engineering chief Josh Giegel said the company is now starting "production level development—how we take this prototype and actually scale it to making hundreds or thousands of units...
