Instead of taking a short-haul flight, why not go by tube?
Not the traditional underground trains, but speeding as fast as an airliner through what is called a hyperloop.

Thts so nice
Only very small installations make sense. In a city it’s a death trap.
Islam is the most racist scum on our planet.
Its just confirmed.
So,,,and now??????
I think the should be afraid,because the have 6.7 billion enemies
@Redbad van Rijn It is islam who has conquered native american and destroyed them…
@COW AND OXEN
The Morccan pirat Murat,stole Manhatan from the natives.
And sold it to Europeans.
@Redbad van Rijn and rest of america was just settled by eurpeans 🤣🤣
@COW AND OXEN
immagine if that pedo allah had watch Earth from the Moon.
He could have discovered America and Australia.
So you would not have to scream al day,,,dead to the Usa.
Hahhahahahahaha
It will never work .
The idea was spawned by a mind under the influence of drugs .
@Dheeman Rajkhowa They built it in Arizona ,and it reached a pathetic 70km/h instead of 1200km /h .
Inducing brains with drugs nor always leads to discoveries..
When is the autonomous car we were promised 10 years ago ?
@Stacha Stochmol
Usa is not the Netherlands.
Also Nasa is build by a German/Germanic.
Immagine,,,the did fly stealth,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,in 1945,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Usa in 1991,,,Yes the/we did.
First Fabric,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,a windmil,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dutch/Germanic.
First explosion engine,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,German.
First ever car,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,driven by a woman. German.
Owh you think all Dutch are on drugs hahahahahha,,,,,,,,,,,most are from other countrys/on a vacation over here.
@Redbad van Rijn Luckily for us many of these things will only exist in the realm of imagination.
Imagine how boring life would become if there were autonomous cars?
I love driving and I would never entrust my safety to a computer.
Dont forget what too much automation did to Boing 737Max .
German and Dutch are not gods.
@Redbad van Rijn Industrial era started in England not Germany .
@Stacha Stochmol
Noop.
James watt was not even born then.
Mass production of ships.
That was the start.
Vica versa,,our etc etc etc etc etc etc.
This is what they used to say about Tesla and SpaceX: stupid idea, lunacy, waste of money, impossible.
Its too slow
Yeah except Tesla and space X were not the first, Electronic vehicles have been around long before Tesla and spaceX would not exist without an infinite budget backed by USA, I mean anyone with enough money behind them can develop their ideas into reality, it doesn’t mean they should though. This idea is cool but as said the reality is not so easy for mass transit.
America got lucky with that African immigrant Elon.
Al jazera losing fans
Adventurous and they must have a lot of money to be burned for the research
money spent on research is not burned: money siphoned off to off-shore accounts is.
The found out the first stock market,,because the did not have so much mony in 1600,..
They had a saying then, “the costs go before making a profit.
And yes, it still is today.
Every idea is stupid until it works
@JR N Is that so? If you rather want to ride in a coffin then by all means go ahead but it does not mean that I would want to as well. Just because I know society can do better does not mean I’m useless. I inspire people to achieve alternative ideas, that’s what I bring to the table.
@Holy Spirit Don’t criticise other’s ideas based on something you know little to nothing about or just come up with your better ideas. If one day they finish it and it gets approved, I’m 100% sure they will try to come up with as many safety measures as humanely possible. Knowing that no human construction or invention can be 100% safe. No one will force you to ride it, myself I may even wait a few months or years before riding it but still, I find it really great that we are looking for alternatives to cars, boats, trains or planes. I’m no fan of flying even if I usually fly at least 15 times a year, so this seems like a great alternative to me…had you asked people 80 years ago about flying a jumbo jet with hundreds of passengers, they would have said it was a crazy and dangerous idea but look where we are now…so give this project a chance and keep an open mind.
@JR N I know everything there is to know about it and if you truly want to be geeky about it then it’s fair to say that it is no different than a wormhole. However I believe it can do better if it were a train traveling at mach speed’s rather than pods because it’s more practical and economical but then again it wouldn’t be called a hyperloop since it’s not pod travel. A maglev train in an evacuated space is something better to aim for. The idea is to keep cars off the roads and trains do a great job of keeping cars off. You have to consider the infrastructure space required to achieve it of both pods and trains. Pods would take up more space compared to a train.
Listen I don’t very much like flying in planes especially if it has the possibility of exploding. Also if there was a transportation that disassembles and reassembles my molecules well i’m sorry you’ll just have to count me out. But that’s not the point. The point is if it is the only option you have because It has eliminated all rivalries then yes I’m being forced to make it my means of transport.
@Holy Spirit Even engineers who work on it daily in Europe or in California don’t know everything about it and where the project will be or look like in 2 years from now so unless you are Elon Musk himself, I highly doubt that you know as much as you claim. Also if it ultimately eliminates all other means of travel it means it’s really good, practical and safe. But just like planes didn’t eliminate cars or trains I doubt that will ever happen. So no, you will probably not be “forced” to ride it. When it comes to infrastructures will be sorted by engineers and urbanism professionals and just like many feared that highways would make our cities uglier, it’s obviously not always been the case. It’s all a matter of acceptance of evolution and change.
@JR N Some change is not always for the best. Everything old not bad, Everything new not necessarily good. One’s utopia is another’s dystopia.
People once thought flying was impossible and a waste of time. Look where we are now.
I was just about to post the same thing. I never listen to naysayers. This guy should know better.
@JR N I stole your IP lol
This is a stupid idea for humans for sooooo many reasons. Might work for parcel or shipping but not humans.
Knock knock, very easy for terrorists to bomb, very expensive to repair.
If you can’t Use the toilet it will be a really💩 experience😅😅
@Robert Skolimowski while travelling in bus you can still make the bus stop and go to urinals …
@COW AND OXEN No, not if the journey lasts an hour or so.
@Robert Skolimowski some people have very less control especially old…
Sorry about your comment doesn’t make any sense… where is India involved in this?
@Johan A India have serious hygeine problem…
Now this tech sure china will stole , dutch be careful , keep eyes open😂🧐
Idiot.
Its not like Indians don’t steel things from Westerners, you have so many fraudulent call centers ripping people off of their hard earned money.
We thought flying in space would be impossible…Now we are returning to the moon and building a base there…We thought flying is impossible…Now many people are flying…We thought having flying cars is impossible..Now Airbus and Boeing are reseraching and we will habe this the next decade…We thought having the internet, Virtual Reality and computers would be Sci Fi and impossible…Now we have everything and 5 Billion people are connected to the internet .
You don’t fly in space. There is no air.
@Redbad van Rijn well u dont have nothin to even go. Forget talking boht allah and yes allah is infinite times bigger then tye moon itself what ya saying man coz you have no knowledge and yes its aknown fact usa fooled its people to destroy ussr by faking the moon expedition. Hopenyah capitalist and so called democratic mind accepts facts you cant digest. K dude
Redbad van Rijn 😂troll
Redbad van Rijn Allah isnt dumb like u
@Cosmic Shark26
Praying dump incest brain dammaged bacil hahahhaha
The only difference between hyperloop and new bullet mag lev trains is air resistance. The cost is probably 10x from that of the train. I would invest in the train, but still do small scale research for hyperloop.
Air resistance increases in quadrate.
And there is the biggist profit.
It’s worth investigating it.
If it is possible in theory, it can be possible in practical also. Whether it is costly or untenable , its a different matter.
Can not, does not exist.
It just hasn’t been invented yet.
I hope it becomes a reality
Depopulation. It would be killing people in thousands.
Everything is possible why not
High speed, most be good technology, cost low fly in europ
But hope the price also be cheap for passengers
Mariyo G Watch any of the many ThunderF00t videos. Not safe or economic for humans. 1 crash in a freeway car might kill a handful of people Failure in vacuum would kill anyone inside it at the speed of sound.
What if the new transport system from africa to other countrys is this kind of train because Africans don’t really like plane .the crash is too deadly
What are u saying?
Everything was once impossible until it wasn’t, full steam ahead! Wishing you the best of luck from Istanbul!
This is old tech, I want my portals!
Lol eh man! Hahaha
Ya … I’m not impressed ’till teleportation.
Everything new is scary. People in 19th century people found trains to be very scary…. they said that people will not survive with this speed.
Hyperloop technology still decade away from reality . it still remain on paper nothing has prove the ideas going to work. For the last 5 years, Tesla desperate try to get the Chinese invest in the technology but they fail to convince them. so they take it to India, Middle east and Europe.
Don’t think so.
@Jagzy Kumar Really ? China where all the money concentrate , they can throw away $100 billion dollar project and it doesnt effect them. It mean life and death for other countries
I can imagine just how reliable and cool this hyperloop would be, if the Japanese worked more on this technology. Just my opinion and thought.
After Murica destroyed Japan economically in the 80s they are yet to fully recover.
@Al 72 the only reason japan even has a notable economy is because of Americas rebuilding investment post ww2
Nothing is impossible but it is stupid
Going 1000kms and taking a dump lol
What a superb and great way to travel!
aljazera has no credibility in its news
Oh yeah, who does?
Are you Malaysians still crying here?
This is one of many new personal transport technologies being developed. Great to see. I am still waiting for internal combustion engine cars and other transportation (i.e. 1900’s technology!) to be replaced. I am not holding my breath for this to happen!
I don’t believe the technology is that risky. Pods can have many sensors to recognize any variations in air pressure and engage break mechanism that will also be communicated instantly to any other pods traveling behind the pod. These technologies already exist so in terms of complexity, i think it is much less than obstacles faced in aviation development.
very dangerous and expensive. in short not possible with present model of economy.
2:15, Mr wouter seems to be worried about his job.
Nah, just being realistic: If you strip hyperloop of its unpracticality you basically end up with Maglev
@Pat Carbin people used to say same thing about electric cars, but see where we are today with electric cars, these cars are now on the road.
It’s a bit of a shame there’s no view. I’d love to experience accelerating up to 1000 kph at ground level!
Warble Durbler just go to Disneyland or Six Flags. They use the same technology to accelerate rollercoasters.
@Kijas I’d like the adrenaline to be coming from the acceleration, not from fear of catching Coronavirus! So no theme parks until we’re all plague free!
Warble Durbler 🤣well, hopefully we can do safe theme parks in a couple years.
Concorde 2.0
Safe and possible: maybe
Economic: lol no, thank!
I mean it is electric and barely produces any sound because it will be mainly underground.
Dont trust Al jazeera, after giving the fake news about Malaysia. Im Muslim, Al jazeera is racist muslim to Asia Muslim, all the words come from Al jazeera is a fake. They think they are better than anyone else
who cares about fascist malaysia?
better than planes but still trapped in that thing we need warp or beam technology come on space force america u wanna settle on mars f you and give us some beaming power
Well, if EU can’t make interstate railroads, then by all means, let us have hyperloops! Make the first one go to Copenhagen, please! 😁
Science says NO.
Go for it,or we’ll never know the unknown.
Fair enough, but unless these “oil pipes” are stuck underground they would make cities tad ugly lol. I am not sold on its aesthetics and that’s still a huge part of innovation.
scheme 015 !!!!
Thank you Al Jazeera English 😃 Electric Magnetics 🧲 to be the Energy of the Future 🧡
You guys need to look at ThunderF00ts videos and add this at the end of your research. Lol
Everyone thinks all ideas are stupid until its reality.. All idiots who are making money, pocketing money in the down low think its a fantasy because if it works they lose millions in funding.
its using old maglev technology + vacuum tube,
but the vacuum is the main issue.
Hyper loop is such a dangerous scam. I can’t believe people are still failing for it.
Colonists stole dis tech frm africa
Hyperloop only useful for long distance. short distance will only make it wasteful from the frequent friction. Unless you want a tube that travel slowly just like a typical tube.
So the guy who has interests in thr regular railnetwork says no to the competition… how surprising.
Lekker!!
Absolute bad idea. Hyperloop is an unrealistic project. Study for exemple VIRILIO, P. 1984, and you will learn lots of intelligent arguments … And, by the way, in the Corona-szenario the whole travel industry is not the same any more as predicted …
Thanks for including my Maglev animations at 2:24 Al Jazeera!! Super cool😄
James bond already travelled like this
