Future Transportation
I talk a lot about the need for a worldwide backbone of transportation infrastructure consisting of evacuated tubes that propel pods using magnetic levitation. I know this sounds like a far-fetched dream that will result in humans becoming claustrophobic hamsters in tubes, but I want to expand more on this subject to better explain why we need this backbone.
Even though I feel this tube network will be vital for future human societies, this will not be the main form of transportation for every day people. Cars, bikes, buses, trains, planes will never go away (though they may further evolve beyond the internal combustion engine). That said, personal flying is the ultimate goal for local commuting. The technologies behind drone taxis are evolving rapidly, and they are already in use in cities around the world like Dubai. I could definitely see the need for roads and bridges start to devolve as our use of personal flying machines evolves. And letβs be real, having a personal flying machine would be pretty damn cool. However, would you feel safe in a drone taxi over the ocean? What about during bad weather conditions?
The tube network is ideal for many reasons.
β’ Construction and maintenance
β’ The tube network could be constructed using a sophisticated army of tunnel burning machines, robot arms and tracks that resemble the modern machines that build bridges around the world.
β’ It could be pieced together in modular sections like assembling Legos.
β’ Each modular piece could quickly be swapped out after a catastrophic event (like a bomb or meteor impact).
β’ Since it relies on magnetism and there are no moving parts, they will rarely wear out and rarely need repair.
β’ We could 3D print the modular section from advanced materials like hemp concrete.
β’ A universal standard could be adopted for design and countries could work on the network in unison.
β’ Efficiency
β’ In the main parts of the network where the tubes are evacuated it will take very little energy to propel the pods at a very fast speeds. Making this system of moving objects from point A to point B highly efficient.
β’ In case of draught we could use this network to get life-saving water to places that need it from places where there is an excess of water and it not cost insane amounts of money in fuel and man power.
β’ Reliable
β’ Once the system is built it can run be completely run by computers and run like a well oiled machine.
β’ The network will be made of durable materials and prevent any type of natural disaster, weather, Alien invasion, or anything from stopping the flow of goods and people and we can keep our economies flowing no matter what.
β’ Decentralized control
β’ The network should not be controlled or owned by any central government. It would belong to the people and any fees would go towards maintaining and expanding the network.
β’ Distances and Speed
β’ This backbone could cross the Alaska/Russia land bridge, go under the ocean, go underground, and literally reach all parts of the world.
β’ At speeds up to 4000 miles per hour, people could have lunch in Tokyo and be back in a couple of hours to their office in New York City.
