Braintree Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I did a quick search, but didn't find anything related to ET3 on watmm, so don't b7 me, bro. http://www.et3.com/ Quote ET3 is literally "Space Travel on Earth". ET3 is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric. Car sized passenger capsules travel in 1.5m (5') diameter tubes on frictionless maglev. Air is permanently removed from the two-way tubes that are built along a travel route. Airlocks at stations allow transfer of capsules without admitting air. Linear electric motors accelerate the capsules, which then coast through the vacuum for the remainder of the trip using no additional power. Most of the energy is regenerated as the capsules slow down. Quote Speed in initial ET3 systems is 600km/h (370 mph) for in state trips, and will be developed to 6,500 km/h (4,000 mph) for international travel that will allow passenger or cargo travel from New York to Beijing in 2 hours. ET3 is networked like freeways, except the capsules are automatically routed from origin to destination.

Ego Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Edit Hide Delete Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) Elon Musk is working on something comparable called Hyperloop which should get you from San Fransisco to Los Angeles in 30 minutes. I believe he's going to open up his engineering efforts to the public soon.
