Elevated Tube Transport Engineers The next big infrastructure project on planet earth will be a human and cargo transport system designed around a network of vacuum tubes with maglev tracks.

and train systems, this emerging tube transport system will be a massive undertaking that demands talented new-age thinkers for decades to come.

The Rolling Arcade The industrial designer Jiang Qian has conceived of a subway strap that s also a video game.

Instead of plastic crawl tubes, there should be tall, steep slides. And balance beams. And rope swings.

Tasked with building a machine that could shoot the most Ping-pong balls into a tube, the students came up with dozens of ingenious contraptions.

drop a ball into the tube, then cover it up so that no others could get in.

they d use half the fuel and a fifth the road space of ordinary cars#nd far more flexible than buses or subways.

#Top 10 cutting-edge technologies in development Tube transportation is the future of transportation. You shouldn t give up on flying cars or hoverboards just yet.

Meter-long tubes packed with electronics and mirrors, these cameras are to be mounted to the outside of the International Space station.

it could bring about an end to batteries as we know them. 2. Ultra-High Speed Tube Trains Magnetic levitation,

called the Evacuated Tube Transport, is the future of transportation, and it very well may be. Its track is contained within a sealed,

as of this writing, is searching for an appropriate stretch to build the first tube. 1. Sustainable Fusion reactor Nuclear fission (the process by

ET3 will be global space travel On earth Daryl Oster, CEO for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies. Elon musk is a brilliant, big-thinking, subtly accented,

Oster, 51, runs a consortium called ET3, for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies, and his vision has the rare distinction of being even bolder than one emerging from the mind of Elon musk. Like Hyperloop,

A Victorian pneumatic tube system zipped the note across the road to the office and brought back an invoice.#

But he attributes his real interest in evacuated tube transport to a math error in the early 1980s.

He considered different tube diameters, propulsion systems, routes, markets. He worked 40 hours on boats and 60 hours on ET3,

at the cost of a 6%royalty on revenue whenever their capsules start flying through tubes.

#Evacuated tube transport isn t a new idea. By the time Oster had his wind-tunnel epiphany up in Walla Walla,

and difficult#problems associated with evacuated tube technology. There are three keys to ET3: a narrow tube diameter, minimal capsule weight and high-temperature maglev technology.

Narrower tubes (ET3 specifies a diameter of five feet) mean less vacuum pumping and lighter pylons and bridges for support (like Musk,

Oster proposes an elevated system, which among other issues obviates the need for a 100-foot-wide right of way bisecting properties from here to Beijing).

with a four-inch gap between the capsule s exterior and the nanoengineered concrete walls of the tube.

Musk also elevates his tubes, which have an internal diameter of 7 4, #on pillars (note that Musk proposes a second, larger system,

The tubes would host the vacuum-pressure equivalent of an altitude of 150,000 feet. This is rarefied air,

They have answers for sudden depressurization or tube breaks, generally involving controlled ventilation to use outside air to slow capsules

Even in the closed tube of an airplane, they can get up and go to the bathroom, at least-neither Hyperloop nor ET3 appear to have included built-in bathrooms.#

and said the devil will ultimately be in the details of evacuated tube transport. Those details range from minimizing g-forces around curves (Hyperloop anticipates 0. 5gs of lateral force;

particularly considering near perfection must carry across maybe 25,000 pillars and as many tube segments, through the expansion and contraction of temperature swings and seismic jostling.

Both believe evacuated-tube transport is a battle worth fighting. They told each other as much in a meeting three weeks before the Hyperloop announcement.

Then he went toe-to-toe with Musk in a discussion of evacuated-tube transport.

Organovo's researchers have made relatively robust vasculature by printing filler such as hydrogel among tubes of tissue cells.

so I know what it takes to bring technology from test-tube scale to production.
