1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,640
longdistance travel has come a long way actually no pun intended in the last 200

2
00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:10,719
years we've gone from horsedrawn carriages to trains to cars to

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,519
commercial flights that can get you halfway around the world in less than a

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:21,039
day's time but we've always dreamed of faster ways to get around and one such

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,599
mode of transportation is in the works

6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:28,560
thanks to hyperloop the hyperloop could even outstrip Jets without requiring you

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:33,440
to leave the freaking ground which is awesome you see the Loop superficially

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:38,079
resembles a train or a monil but can actually go much faster thanks to the

9
00:00:35,559 --> 00:00:42,039
elimination of most sources of friction the same force that slows your car down

10
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:47,480
when you apply the brakes if you didn't know that some high-speed trains like

11
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:51,039
the Shanghai maglev in China that can

12
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:53,359
reach nearly 270 mph reduce friction by

13
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:57,800
using magnets to make them levitate above the rail so it's not actually

14
00:00:55,239 --> 00:01:02,440
touching anything the hyperloop however goes one step further by placing

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:07,200
capsules inside of a tube which is a partial vacuum so there's much less air

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:11,920
to push against the vehicle on top of this the capsules are suspended in

17
00:01:09,119 --> 00:01:16,320
midair by air casters similar to how pucks on an air hockey table are able to

18
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:20,880
float around although the hyperloop does use linear induction motors which are

19
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:25,680
magnetic to accelerate and decelerate the vehicle the air casters are a much

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,159
cheaper simpler and longer lasting way to keep it floating in midair and

21
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:34,399
finally the hyperloop vehicle itself contains an air compressor near the

22
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:39,159
front to intake excess air in the tube and exhaust it out the back because the

23
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:43,680
excess air would otherwise cause air resistance or drag that would slow the

24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:48,680
vehicle down the compressor is necessary to remove this air and make sure the

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,719
hyperloop can attain its top speed and

26
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:56,920
speaking of top speed when you put all of this together you have a system that

27
00:01:53,119 --> 00:02:00,000
is theoretically capable of going 760

28
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,840
mph just below the speed of sound that

29
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:07,159
fast enough to get you from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 35 minutes

30
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,760
which is twice as fast as the typical commercial flight between those cities

31
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,519
and obviously way faster than sitting on the 101 during rush hour okay sounds

32
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:20,519
amazing where can I buy my ticket so that I don't have to give any more money

33
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:25,680
away to the airlines that won't even give me a free freaking bag of peanuts

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,400
anymore well unfortunately the hyperloop is still just a concept but the good

35
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:35,280
news is that since it was first proposed in 2012 by Elon Musk there has been some

36
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:40,360
real traction okay that was a pun with trying

37
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,560
to get the hyperloop system built one of musk's many successful companies has

38
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,760
made the technology behind the hyperloop open source so that other companies and

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:53,879
institutions are welcome to develop and improve upon the hyperloop idea a test

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,480
facility with a short run of hyperloop track is planned in Nevada and Slovakia

41
00:02:56,959 --> 00:03:03,440
is currently exploring building a hyperloop in its capital brus laava but

42
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,959
as with any new extremely exciting technology there are challenges to be

43
00:03:05,959 --> 00:03:12,560
worked out such as the stresses it might put on the human body quick changes in

44
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:18,440
velocity such as when the hyperloop speeds up slows down or has to go over

45
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:22,400
Hills might put forces on passengers that might make things a little

46
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:27,799
uncomfortable especially if they have to get up to use to the

47
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:29,439
bathroom yeah plus since most proposals

48
00:03:27,799 --> 00:03:34,400
have the hyperloop sitting on pillars above the ground Engineers would need to

49
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:39,239
make sure it could stay safe in the event of Something Like An Earthquake

50
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:44,480
cuz a bump going at 700 and something miles an hour is going to feel pretty

51
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:49,080
rough still though the technology is being heavily explored by multiple

52
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,959
governments companies and universities worldwide so a future where we're all

53
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:59,400
being shot through tubes that nearly mock one might be closer than you think

54
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:04,959
no word yet though on whether they'll let you order overpriced steak and wine

55
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:07,120
on board so you can feel like a VIP like

56
00:04:04,959 --> 00:04:12,120
those excessively expensive business class tickets oh my God freshbooks is on

57
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:16,479

30 days by going to freshbooks.com slte

68
00:04:54,759 --> 00:05:02,560
Qui and entering techwiki in the how did you hear about a section thank you uh

69
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,840
Dennis for Mak that very loud noise um I

70
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,199
will accept a deposit from Dennis for his disturbance of this Tech rookie

71
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:12,800
episode if you liked Dennis's very loud noise like the video If You disliked

72
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:17,120
Dennis's very loud noise feel free to dislike the video if you want to see a

73
00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:21,400
Channel Super Fun which probably also has Dennis making very loud noises click

74
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,759
I don't know where Dennis will figure that out I'm not redoing this man I'm

75
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,759
I'm still going subscribe if you want to see more of Dennis making loud noises

76
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,680
and thank you for listening to Dennis just make loud noises that's sounds

77
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,680
weird
