UnderWater Train

Cross Section of Underwater Train

Vacuum Tube Train: 

It’s not impossible that a 4,000-mph magnetically levitated train could allow us to have lunch in Manhattan and still get to London in time for the theatre, despite the 5-hour time difference.Norway has studied neutrally buoyant tunnels (concluding that they’re feasible, though expensive), and Shanghai is running maglev trains to its airport. Supersonic speeds require another critical step: eliminating the air—and therefore air friction—from the train’s path. A vacuum would also save the tunnel from the destructive effects of a sonic boom, which, unchecked, could potentially rip the tunnel apart. As envisioned by  a former MIT researcher and early member of the first formal English Channel Tunnel study group, sections of neutrally buoyant tunnel submerged 150 to 300 feet beneath the surface of the Atlantic, then anchored to the seafloor–thereby avoiding the high pressures of the deep ocean.Then air would be pumped out, creating a vacuum, and alternating magnetic pulses would propel a magnetically levitated train capable of speeds up to 4,000 mph across the pond in an hour.

To prevent drift from currents or storms, neutrally buoyant tunnel sections will be anchored 30 to 40 feet into the seafloor. Sections of the tunnel could be manufactured in dry-docks, and then hauled to the site.

EFFECT

This technology may give a lot of benefit to society. They can arrive to their destination on time without need to be hardly struggling with other passenger. Besides that, it could avoid from space getting crowdedly. This new transportation can make people life’s better and not too depending of buses and taxi that can just cause of air pollution. As the population increases, it is glad to know that if there is the advancement of technology regarding public transportation that can ship a lot of people.

BARRIERS

Noise is certainly an important issue. In future we should have fewer and quieter disruptions from the noises generated by others. Certainly car locking horn blasts and car horn alarms should be banned as obnoxious public nuisances. The underwater train sounds also can disturb the underwater animal. The sound can disrupt the animal so much because the horn is quite noisy for them. Besides that, the other barrier to acceptance of this technology is it might be cause water pollution and can kill aquatic life during the construction..
