The Hyperloop: BUSTED
<< < (71/113) > >>
Lord of nothing:
 :=\ Hyperloop a Green Transportation Technologie which an Engine who run with a Fossil Fuel Engine.  :palm:
ebastler:
Please help me out here (and help me to avoid watching the whole video ;)):
Where does the engine sit, and what type is it? I assume it is not preferred to run an internal combustion engine within the evacuated tube...

james_s:
IIRC the engine is not in the tube, it's driving fans/pumps that suck the air out.
SiliconWizard:
Air is probably not the only thing being sucked here.  :-DD
james_s:
Well I'm not arguing that it's a good idea, frankly I don't know whether it will work or not, although I suspect it's possible to solve the technical hurdles. Now whether it could ever be made economical, that's something I'm far more skeptical of.
