dial_100 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The great concept & super technology yet dozens of problems. Please cast your vote when do you think it will be ready / operational?? This is about technology being safe enough for passengers. Let us discuss the technology, usages and research in India context for domestic use.

dial_100 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 I personally feel this technology is 10+ years away. Many of these challenges could almost make it impossible to implement. But I think we will continue to pursue and solve various problems. Here are the challenges in implementing this technology. Massive cost to build and operate Maintaining vacuum or low pressure tube Maintaining Levitation height Maintaining level, avoiding sudden curves (lateral and vertical, unevenness) Entry exit from vacuum tubes for stoppages Land acquisition Security Cost justification with low ROI I will put advantages in the next post.

sandeep Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 'new' tech with expensive capital requirements require either strong state backing or a crazy billionaire ready to pump big chunk of his fortune at it. Musk is all about Mars - everything he does is towards this end. Hyperloop is a nice to have for him, and he's not going to spend for it. If the CCP gets behind hyperloop now or within 4-5 years, it can happen in the near term. Rest of the other projects are mere prototype, proof of concept stuff. Don't see passenger level implementation in a viable actual use-case anytime soon. dial_100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SujitPrakash Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) The Bullet train is ideal for India, especially built by Japan and tech transfer and education for our engineers in a country like Japan will be awesome. I love the hyperloop but for a poor country like India is going to be too expensive. Australia is ideal for the bullet train or the hyperloop, but for some reason Australia is reluctant to invest in stuff like this.

They don't have the population density and hence the passenger loads to really make it a proftiable or (non-huge loss making) proposition.

Chakdephatte Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) As of now, not plausible. Maybe the one for the future. For a guess, 50 years, 30 to be modest. Link Edited November 22, 2021 by Chakdephatte Sunil_narine024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and Aussies love their road trips, Australia is a beautiful country for long road trips, and they only use trains in the cities to commute to work and back home.
