00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.640
longdistance travel has come a long way actually no pun intended in the last 200

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:10.719
years we've gone from horsedrawn carriages to trains to cars to

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:15.519
commercial flights that can get you halfway around the world in less than a

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

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:23.599
mode of transportation is in the works

00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:28.560
thanks to hyperloop the hyperloop could even outstrip Jets without requiring you

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:33.440
to leave the freaking ground which is awesome you see the Loop superficially

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:38.079
resembles a train or a monil but can actually go much faster thanks to the

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:42.039
elimination of most sources of friction the same force that slows your car down

00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:47.480
when you apply the brakes if you didn't know that some high-speed trains like

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:51.039
the Shanghai maglev in China that can

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:53.359
reach nearly 270 mph reduce friction by

00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:57.800
using magnets to make them levitate above the rail so it's not actually

00:00:55.239 --> 00:01:02.440
touching anything the hyperloop however goes one step further by placing

00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.200
capsules inside of a tube which is a partial vacuum so there's much less air

00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:11.920
to push against the vehicle on top of this the capsules are suspended in

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:16.320
midair by air casters similar to how pucks on an air hockey table are able to

00:01:13.960 --> 00:01:20.880
float around although the hyperloop does use linear induction motors which are

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:25.680
magnetic to accelerate and decelerate the vehicle the air casters are a much

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:30.159
cheaper simpler and longer lasting way to keep it floating in midair and

00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:34.399
finally the hyperloop vehicle itself contains an air compressor near the

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:39.159
front to intake excess air in the tube and exhaust it out the back because the

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:43.680
excess air would otherwise cause air resistance or drag that would slow the

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:48.680
vehicle down the compressor is necessary to remove this air and make sure the

00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:50.719
hyperloop can attain its top speed and

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:56.920
speaking of top speed when you put all of this together you have a system that

00:01:53.119 --> 00:02:00.000
is theoretically capable of going 760

00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:01.840
mph just below the speed of sound that

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.159
fast enough to get you from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 35 minutes

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.760
which is twice as fast as the typical commercial flight between those cities

00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:16.519
and obviously way faster than sitting on the 101 during rush hour okay sounds

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

00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:25.680
away to the airlines that won't even give me a free freaking bag of peanuts

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.400
anymore well unfortunately the hyperloop is still just a concept but the good

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

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:40.360
real traction okay that was a pun with trying

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:44.560
to get the hyperloop system built one of musk's many successful companies has

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:48.760
made the technology behind the hyperloop open source so that other companies and

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:53.879
institutions are welcome to develop and improve upon the hyperloop idea a test

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.480
facility with a short run of hyperloop track is planned in Nevada and Slovakia

00:02:56.959 --> 00:03:03.440
is currently exploring building a hyperloop in its capital brus laava but

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.959
as with any new extremely exciting technology there are challenges to be

00:03:05.959 --> 00:03:12.560
worked out such as the stresses it might put on the human body quick changes in

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:18.440
velocity such as when the hyperloop speeds up slows down or has to go over

00:03:15.799 --> 00:03:22.400
Hills might put forces on passengers that might make things a little

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:27.799
uncomfortable especially if they have to get up to use to the

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:29.439
bathroom yeah plus since most proposals

00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:34.400
have the hyperloop sitting on pillars above the ground Engineers would need to

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:39.239
make sure it could stay safe in the event of Something Like An Earthquake

00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:44.480
cuz a bump going at 700 and something miles an hour is going to feel pretty

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:49.080
rough still though the technology is being heavily explored by multiple

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.959
governments companies and universities worldwide so a future where we're all

00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:59.400
being shot through tubes that nearly mock one might be closer than you think

00:03:57.400 --> 00:04:04.959
no word yet though on whether they'll let you order overpriced steak and wine

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:07.120
on board so you can feel like a VIP like

00:04:04.959 --> 00:04:12.120
those excessively expensive business class tickets oh my God freshbooks is on

00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:16.479
a mission to make Freelancers less stressed and more organized through

their easyto ous tool for crafting and sending professional invoices in seconds

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:26.400
freshbooks also helps you track your hour so when it comes time to create set

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:30.080
invoice you know exactly what you did when you did it who you did it for all

00:04:28.280 --> 00:04:34.680
that kind of stuff you can even cep deposits through their platform so your

00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:38.520
work is paid for on your schedule they also have a tool to manage your expense

reports their mobile app lets you take a picture of your receipts and just you

00:04:40.479 --> 00:04:46.680
know pretty much does the rest of it which is great getting started on

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:49.639
freshbooks is extremely simple even if you're not a numbers person they even

00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:54.759
say especially if you're not a numbers person you can try freshbooks free for

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:57.039
30 days by going to freshbooks.com slte

00:04:54.759 --> 00:05:02.560
Qui and entering techwiki in the how did you hear about a section thank you uh

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:04.840
Dennis for Mak that very loud noise um I

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.199
will accept a deposit from Dennis for his disturbance of this Tech rookie

00:05:06.840 --> 00:05:12.800
episode if you liked Dennis's very loud noise like the video If You disliked

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

00:05:14.479 --> 00:05:21.400
Channel Super Fun which probably also has Dennis making very loud noises click

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

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:29.759
I'm still going subscribe if you want to see more of Dennis making loud noises

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.680
and thank you for listening to Dennis just make loud noises that's sounds

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.680
weird
