Interesting, and it is self powered, although on overcast days, it might need backup batterys?




Elon Musk's high-speed Hyperloop train makes more sense for Mars than California


What is more exciting is, putting a large track somewhere with this with a near perfect vacumn, (this one has 99.99% vacumn) and pouring enough power into this to push it way past the sound barrier!

At near light speed, a day on board would equal a year for us!

Or the worlds first time machine, but only one way, and it might have to be an all country, global project to pull that off.

And we might have to wait til we create nano-particle antigravity materials to get it close? That or some impossibletanium?

      I figure if Taggo got Science Fiction, he is not gonna die.

      Prolly he will transform into some kinda immortal Oz cyborg, with racin' stripes on the soles of his feet.

        Only trouble with those is they do hit cows!

        Hitting a cow at 300 km,'s an hour, if l remember correctly totles the train, and doesn't do the cow much good either.

        And enclosed system gets around all of that!
