Power transmission
As the farmers do not want power lines across their paddocks in Australia could the power made by Snowy 2 be transmitted via the Sydney to Melbourne Japanese SC maglev PS I found out that there is 100% p/a profit using HVDC cables in the Sydney to Melbourne tunnel so now you have $2b p/a from overni...

Re: [EU] Exploring the Impact of Magnetic Levitation Trains on Global Transportation Systems
The only reason they cost so much is because Japan does not use 60 Chinese like Australia could and build from Sydney to Melbourne in three years allowing it to make a profit of $2,000,000 per night with overnight container trains.

Re: [PL] Nevomo successfully tests maglev on conventional infrastructure
The Japanese SC maglev is already proven and all it needs is a aTBM tunnel to allow overnight container trains to go 700 km/h.
It seems like they are reinventing the wheel.

In my opinion medium speed maglev will not be economically viable because it is too slow to beat trucks with an overnight container train over 1,000 km to reduce the daytime fare but that is just my opinion.

Re: Zeleros Hyperloop
At 120 km/h it is too slow to run overnight 1,000 km so it cannot subsidise daytime fares and remove planes.
Be better if China, Japan and America developed the Sydney/Melbourne overnight container maglev to international standard.

Re: ||| 2022 Urban Maglev SURVEY |||
I know the Japanese maglev is not designed for overnight containers but it would be easy for China, Japan, and America to develop the Sydney to Melbourne one in a single 11psi tunnel which allows 700 km/h with passing stations at Canberra and Albury to enable daytime fares lower than planes saving 5...

Re: ||| 2022 Urban Maglev SURVEY |||
America wants HSR but it is uneconomical because it cannot take overnight container trains like Japanese maglev could making them faster and more profitable than the existing slow trains. As the wheels would only be on the ground for four kilometres at each station it could stop anywhere needed thro...

Re: 600km/h high-speed maglev to roll off in Qingdao
Big cities in big countries can never be connected with maglev trains in the daytime unless an overnight maglev container train is developed for international use preferably by Japan, China, America and Australia between Sydney and Melbourne. The container trains can go between freight sidings on th...

Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Competition is good but sometimes cooperation is needed when something will be used internationally and as a Japanese maglev is too expensive just for passengers I suggest Japan, China and Australia cooperate to build a maglev from Sydney to Melbourne with passing stations at Canberra and Albury tha...

20 multimodal TBM like Florence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeTrLPx6h3U&t=1s could drive stage one Sydney to Canberra in one year.

Re: Maglev versus Air travel between any two end points?
The big problem with passenger maglev is the cost, but the daytime fare could be reduced below that of planes between Sydney and Melbourne saving 5,000,000 tonnes of jet fuel per year while reducing the 500,000 trucks per year and getting the freight to freight sidings 8 hours faster in an overnigh...

Re: Pods - hanging versus bottom levitation - pros and cons
For a start I think Hyperloop would never work but to make a train profitable it must have an overnight container train and this is much easier in tunnels as there is no weight limit.

Re: Outside view - in pods. Should be very easy, useful?
Japanese 700 km/h maglev is the only way to go in 11 psi breathable 14 meter diameter straight tunnels with no windows necessary.

Re: Vacuum in the tube - methods?
In my opinion people would not travel in a small tube in a vacuum but if it is a Japanese maglev that does 700 km/h with overnight container trains to make it economical then I think they would with the cheap daytime daytime fares. To answer your question about removal of air I suggest if it is in a...

Re: Maglev - Frequent stoppages(intra city) versus non-stop long distance travel
As overnight non stop 700 km/h overnight Japanese maglev trains in single 11 psi, 14 meter diameter tunnel earn enough to make daytime fares cheaper than planes it does not really matter if there are a couple of stops in a big city as the freight which you cannot use on HSR makes it economical.
