The thing everyone here needs to remember is that with the capability of these Tunnel Boring Machines to be able to build a sealed wall behind it as it is actually digging through the Earth is where the time savings and cost efficiency work for its advantages

What do you mean they put a wall behind them as they go.Im not to familiar w/ engineering so could you elaborate?

Okay jkrog08, you need to go watch the two YouTube videos I posted on My very first post to your thread here to see what I mean. You should watch both of them but I believe it is the second one that shows the process of building the tunnel walls behind the still moving Tunnel Boring Machinery. I found a link to Popular Mechanics here that talks about underground tunnels but I don't think it's particularly relevant to this thread but nonetheless it is fascinating material.

Popular Mechanics : Underground Tunnels

Here's a link on Popular Mechanics about magnetic levitation trains, there are three pages to this so pay attention :

Well I dont think that all these people9phil schnider,the dulce security gaurd(costello)would lie about these tunnel systems.I found a web site with many perported entrances. I will post it my next post.

I agree,we have money and means....it is said since 1947 our tech.(usa tech)has advanced 50 years per year!So I dont think inertia would be a problem.

Isnt it about 2400 miles from LA to NY ?Cause that calculation then would be accurate.10.5 minutes accel.........(to 14000 mph,if even for a brief second or less,in physics it makes sense that that velocity is reached then decelerated.or it would be faster!)10.5 min to decel.=21 minutes,just like they said!

You would have to slow down at each one of those turns.
I think something like this may be possible although I don't think they would be quite that fast.

Alrighty.

First things first I have to say this thread has began hopping now and I like what I see so far.

Secondly. I just dove head first into this post with the thought of peering through the information just to see if there was anything new to anything out there. I have to say that there is plenty of information out there.

Thirdly. I was impressed with some of the other people's posts here.

Fourth. I was totally shocked to have come back after contributing several posts here to find a U2U from Cuhail awarding Me 500 Points for an "Applause" for contributing to this thread specifically.

I know this is off the topic of the thread a bit but I wanted to say thanks for the applause and points.

Back to the original topic of the thread which is high-speed transit systems utilizing tunnels underground to go from New York to Los Angeles at a purported 14000 miles per hour. I don't know specifically about that actual speed as the human body can only take so much pressure from the g-forces that it would take to go this speed.

Someone do the computational mathematics of traveling 14000 miles per hour using the "Mach" system and definition of Wikipedia here and figure out the formula which will tell us the exact amount of Mach you would have to be traveling to reach that speed :

Wikipedia : Mach

I know for a fact because I've talked to a fighter-pilot and watched enough of "Discovery Channel" and "History Channel" where a pilot usually blacks out at around Mach 7 but this is also talking about using the g-force of a controlled turn mixed with a high speed and not specifically a straight tunnel or a slightly curved tunnel system where the tunnel is sealed and or driven through a magnetic levitation engine.

I did the calculations(with the help of a NASA Mach calulator)
14000 mph at -500 ft below sea level(I guessed that would be a good estimate for the depth of the train)

It is Mach 18.3
Heres the link

No,Mach was ORIGINALLY created pre-supersonic era by physicist Ehrnst Mach.Its does relate to air pressure but is also used as a smaller scale of measure ment for velocity(distance and direction an object moves over a given period of time)So it is kind like "warp" in Star Trek

Well the vaccum is what allows the mag lev to go that fast in the first place.If it were like the EU maglevs it would max out at prolly around Mach 2 or 3,although the EU trains dont go that fast they could.
I dont think it would be logical to use anti gravity,because you already are getting an extreme(almost to fast) speed with mag-lev.
