TransPod Unveils the FluxJet for Ultra-High-Speed Transportation
The FluxJet will enable drastic improvements in carbon footprint, travel time, and ticket price compared to existing transport options.www.transpod.com
“The technology is proven.“ another interesting statement noting that neither of those things actually exists.
“This critical project will create up to 140,000 jobs and add $19.2B to the region’s GDP throughout construction.” another interesting statement. why not 180,000 jobs, or 280,000 jobs? and why $19.2B, not an even $19B or $20B or $30B or $50B?
as for that US$550B in financing, isn’t that from one of china’s export development programs which means most of the initial design work will be done there and most of the manufacturing - if it ever gets that far - will also be done there and the intellectual property rights will also best there?
I like toys as much as the next person, i just don’t think we should be throwing good money after bad investing in something that’s not yet even a toy.
although “fluxjet operating on a transpod line” does have a certain jetsons/asimov/simpsons vibe to it that’s kind of catchy.
