Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
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 that can earn $2,000,000 every night with overnight containers to subsidise daytime fares saving 5,000,000 tonnes jet fuel per year plus reduce the 700,000 B doubles on the Hume.
60 multimodal TBM like Florence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeTrLPx6h3U&t=1s could drive stage one Sydney to Canberra in one year.
PS
Another thing I would like to point out is the overnight container train can go between the freight sidings 8 hours faster than any truck for next morning delivery and it may be possible to avoid complex points just by having the front wheels steerable as they would be down at the slow speed.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Because the Japanese SC maglev has nothing touching that needs maintenance it is free from inflation like trucks and planes.
As well as connecting Sydney to Melbourne with a profitable 700 km/h Japanese SC maglev it would balance our trade with China.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
After watching Jeff Dimery on the National press club of Australia today I think we will have small 300 mw nuclear reactors replacing coal fired generators keeping the towns alive and using surplus power through HVDC cables in the tunnel making it even more profitable.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
To avoid complex points i suggest the front wheels are steerable and to minimise the size needed for a freight terminal in western Sydney the northbound trains to Brisbane would be pushed next to each other on the hardstand.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
The forty foot overnight containers are only half the length of a SC maglev carriage so it would only need the same magnets.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
As a container trainer is far lighter than a conventional freight train it can go overnight between Melbourne and Sydney in a 14m diameter tunnel that earns $1,400,000,000 p/a allowing the daytime ride only $10 which leaves every half hour replacing cars and trucks.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
It is a waste of time trying to get heavy electric trucks to go long distance when the overnight container train on the Sydney/Melbourne route is faster and cheaper without having to find 700,000 drivers p/a.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
After thinking about it each 40 foot container is only half the length of a SC maglev carriage and as every container has to be light enough to go on a truck there would be no problem at all.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Why an underground Japanese SC maglev?
It enables a secure straight tunnel that is no more expensive than on the surface.
This enables the overnight container trains to replace trucks as it has to go 600 km/h which is impossible with wheels.
A single guideway between passing stations allows this speed.
By having twin guideways at passing stations it allows 2 stations at each city where trains southbound wait while northbound trains are doing 600 km/h and vice versa.
This allows daytime trains to leave each city every half hour for only $10 to anywhere as the income comes from replacing trucks and planes.
A 14 meter diameter single tunnel can be driven Sydney to Melbourne in two years by FIFO Chinese workers with 60 TBM from 30 launch sites with a further year to install the Japanese SC maglev.

Hi Nick
Japan wants to use development to redeem money with the SC maglev but it would it better to subsidise daytime fares with overnight container trains earning $1.4b p/a eliminating trucks and planes between Melbourne and Sydney WSA.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Few people from Australia have experienced the SC maglev and I am worried that we may get wheels or Chinese EMS.
Would it be possible for a group of advisors to experience it.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
To be economically viable to connect Melbourne to Brisbane a 600 km/h train must be used but because Australians have only experienced the EMS Chinese airport line they want wheels.
It would be good if Japan invited a group of advisors to experience the SC maglev.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Is Tesla building a EDS train in China or is it fake news.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
The news appears to be at least partially accurate. All currently known technical systems for Maglev are being researched and tested in China. However, Tesla should have relatively little to do with this.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
With the latest Japanese president wanting to use last century tech and China realising EMS is too costly to build and maintain it is a golden opportunity for Australia to demonstrate EDS overnight container trains that will earn AU$1.4b p/a connecting Melbourne to western Sydney airport subsidising daytime fares to AU$10 anywhere for 24 hours killing trucks and planes on that route.
Stage one Melbourne to Sydney via Albury and Canberra will also allow HVDC cables in the 14metre diameter tunnel instead of the expensive overhead Humelink.
It can be driven in two years with Chinese TBM expertise with 60 TBM from 30 launch sites.
Because an overnight container train is limited by what the electric semitrailer can legally carry and a 40 foot container is half the length of the SC maglev passenger train carriage it can have a normal SC magnet either end.

With $10 fares and no trucks and planes on that route it would get every voter in Australia.

Maglev said “The news appears to be at least partially accurate. All currently known technical systems for Maglev are being researched and tested in China. However, Tesla should have relatively little to do with this.”
As CLARA is already in bed with Japanese SC maglev and although their value capture business model did not stack up it would be far better to use Chinese TBM expertise to connect Melbourne to Sydney and buy the existing technology off Japan rather than China trying to learn EDS.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Because the tunnel has to be in a straight line vertically and horizontally between cities the 14 m diameter TBM must be able to penetrate any type ground and the two stations at each city on the double guideway passing stations would be accessed only by very big elevators.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
This is the email I sent to Parramatta council yesterday.
As Parrahub would be within Lansdowne, Inkerman, Boundary and Church streets I believe it would be possible to share the SC maglev platforms with Parrahub rather than competing with One city square in Church street.
I believe stage two to Brisbane should go beneath the Parramatta river in good ground and that is why the station is at the base of the 30,000 space carpark.
Property would be bought with lottery funds so there is no risk and no pushback from locals when excavation starts which would take a year while designing the building but my emails have fallen on deaf ears so maybe Parramatta council could run it.
Parrahub depends on a lottery to avoid interest payments and pressure to cut corners on the flood proof and earthquake proof building designed to stand 200 years.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Australia cannot make everything domestically and unlike America we have to be free traders and we are big enough to use overnight container trains unlike Japan where even the president wants wheels.
The only opposition from connecting Melbourne to Sydney overnight SC maglev would come from the aircraft industry as removing 700,000 drivers p/a from the Hume would suit transport people while improving productivity and reducing prices.
With an election coming up everybody would love it and once it is proven here we can export it to big countries worldwide and now is the ideal time to use Chinese TBM expertise to drive stage one in two years.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
The Parramatta council wanted to know how I felt about increasing the height of Parramatta square to which I agreed and told them we could share the SC maglev platforms to Brisbane as the buildings are so close and Parrahub is deep enough to drive beneath Parramatta river in good ground.Parrahub1 wrote: ↑1.

If he decides to connect Melbourne to Sydney with SC maglev earning $1.4b p/a selling the tech to big countries worldwide the Liberals, Independents, Greens and most voters be in agreement with China driving it in two years so we call the shots in the south China sea.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Australia is a great place to showcase SC maglev overnight container trains having a variety of gauges/power and big enough to beat trucks by 8 hours earning sufficient to allow the daytime only $10.
I cannot understand why they do not have a lottery for the Parrahub building with such a shortage of green land.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Stage one is only to kill trucks and planes between Melbourne and Sydney earning $1.4b p/a and making daytime fares only $10.
Palletised freight is often picked up with rigid trucks through the day and then loaded onto semitrailers for the trip interstate and what I had in mind was a freight siding where the containers are loaded.
The reverse would happen at the other end with electric semitrailers taking the containers straight to the transport people before sun up while the roads are clear so smaller rigid trucks can deliver the freight.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
Where the Japanese SC maglev has twin directions in a 13m diameter tunnel the Sydney to Melbourne SC maglev would have a single guideway between cities at the base of a 14m diameter TBM tunnel allowing 600 km/h trains with two ten minute stops at each city passing stations in the daytime.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
At present there are 2,000 trucks per day but this will be reduced to only 100 electric semitrailers each end with overnight container trains taking only one hour between freight sidings and each train can be longer due to having no coupling limits.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
To save money on rare earth SC magnets perhaps daytime passengers could travel in super luxury containers on overnight container trains.

Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
As China can drive Sydney to Melbourne for half the price of Australians in two years so a SC maglev can be installed, it may be a good idea for either of the big parties to hit the ground running with our three year federal elections.
Re: Sydney to Melbourne Maglev
As the overnight SC maglev train can only support what a semitrailer can carry it may be better if the containers are all forty foot to allow 600 km/h.

I know many truckies that avoid toll roads where possible and those that use them just put the extra on what you buy at the supermarket because supermarkets do not vote.
The only way people like my sister who love planes will ever go in a train is if it is cheaper and the only way to do that is to pay for the construction with overnight container trains that can beat any truck by at least 8 hours.
With train drivers always going on strike you only have to be caught out once and it is back to the car but as the SC maglev will have little maintenance and no drivers it will be very reliable.
We need a federal government that is bold enough to connect Melbourne to Brisbane with a SC maglev via Albury, Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, and Coffs harbour rather than one that tries to buy your vote with a few cents off your beer.

Overnight container trains only work over 1,000 kilometres and the main reason is to subsidise daytime fares below planes.
In a democracy it is just as cheap and more secure to have the SC maglev in a 14m diameter tunnel which will allow 600 km/h

Connecting Sydney to Melbourne would be a monopoly without inflation and it only has to keep prices below trucks and planes, although at present it would only recover 2% of the construction cost but this would increase with inflation.
Because so many people are interested in a maglev between Sydney and Melbourne perhaps private investors may do it with Bitcoin.
