Also it is said that the new TBMs vitrify the dirt, thus making a smooth wall around the tunnel.

Probably fine because the g-forces aren't severe due to gradual acceleration and 360 degree swiveling chairs.

I'm calling B.S. for the same reason another poster made in regards to 14,000 mph being the equivalent of Mach 18.7.

For comparison, here are the current speed records:

Land Speed Record - 768 mph (rocket-assisted)
Rail Speed Record - 581 mph (using Maglev technology)
Air Speed Record - 2,194 mph (manned - Military record)
Air Speed Record - 7,546 mph (unmanned - Military record)

Granted, there were unmanned rocket sled on rails tests performed by the Military that could achieve up to Mach 8.5. However, these were in closed, controlled environments and could never sustain those speeds for long periods of time.

The basic fact of the matter comes down to G-Force being the distinguishing difference between unmanned and manned speeds. The human lung cannot function and breathe in air if experiencing greater than a couple of G's. The rest of the human body itself cannot sustain forces much greater than that (run a hamster through a high speed centrifuge if you want an example of what happens...just don't let PETA know).

If the Underground Bullet Train theory had stated speeds of 500-700mph then it might be plausible and remotely believable. However, claiming that not only does an entire secret underground rail system exist without it leaking out, but it operates faster than anything else the government has is too far of a stretch. Stating that it is used for transporting personnel instead of being unmanned cargo transport, takes even more of the believability away.

Sorry, I simply can't swallow that whopper of a tale...especially since our national leaders use Air Travel even during times of National Emergency.

wasnt in ID movie, 1400.00 hammer, 2800.00 toliet seat, at that rate wouldnt be hard to get the dough you need to build any thing you wanted

Can you provide some possible sources? I would be interested in thes epapers or what your dad said.

LOL, was it your uncle? My bad..


If you could that would be great. The only semi-official docs I have seen were RAND sketches and US patents.

Facing a different way would make no difference, and I have no idea how such a damper system could possibly work-such a device has not been shown to exist.


it actually would because of a dampening device it would cause a drop in the inertia because of it being magnetic would also allow for a safer accel/decel

also with the chairs positioned like that would help immensely..


does anyone know where the location is in san francisco?
get my spelunking gear out

Entrances?

What if the energy source is more expensive and even more dirty to the environment would it not become a problem, 14,000 is fast on land and should require special energy source and material to build rail and tracks..?Just a thought.

Even with the so-called black budget, there is no way in Hades America could afford this with current technology.


How do you know what the current technology is?
