Wind tunnel. Why not a Low Pressure wind tunnel used for transport? There can be acceleration and de-acceleration branch offs at each station. Atmosphere pressure is used for the acceleration stage and a restricted airflow type pocket for the de acceleration stage. Air locks would be used to move carriages from arrivals to departures. Carriages would run on rails of some sort, but contact less during the hi speed run. Air could be used instead of magnetic fields though. Whatever is best economic solution? Current jet engines could be used as the power plants and or turbines driven by nuclear power. (Just pinch some off those new planes sitting out in the desert -g-) You drive up to these things in your SUV, 18-wheeler or whatever. Pay the modest toll, and WHANG New York to Boston in 30 minutes or so (215 miles). maps.yahoo.com Fuel and timesavings all round. Competitive edge for region. Well that and the super conducting DC power lines and all the other stuff mentioned here.. siliconinvestor.com Now.. It’s probably best if I run this whole thing. Raymond could be a candidate too but I think he maybe is a tad too political. I don't think he has the right engineering and management skill set either, and he might upset some of the sub contractors with republican backgrounds and views. There will be A LOT of money changing hands even during the design stage. Construction costs will be high but profitable over the longer run. Probably cheaper then new freeways. It's probably best if an outside consultant (me) is seen to play an impartial role as CEO of the whole operation. Tell your USA politicians I am ready to start when they finally catch up to these ideas. I expect Raymond has already started briefing the Democrats and I would like to see a fair race on this. I could start the same project here though but the politicians are even more screwed then in the USA. 17.5% VAT also puts the dampers on the whole project. No, its best if the USA leads, and let the rest catch up. Same ol same ol... to many changes in the pecking order can lead to all sorts of problems..
