Vacuum Tube Transport
Vacuum Tube Transport is a proposed transportation system that uses low-pressure tubes to move vehicles at high speeds. The concept relies on reducing air resistance by creating a vacuum inside the tubes, allowing pods or capsules to glide smoothly. This technology aims to significantly decrease travel times between cities.
The idea is inspired by earlier technologies like pneumatic tubes and modern innovations such as maglev trains. Proponents believe that Vacuum Tube Transport could provide an efficient, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional transportation methods, potentially transforming how people and goods are moved over long distances.
