PhilippinoBob User ID: 16604126 Philippines 01/06/2013 03:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Obviously they are still busy building the tunnels because you can constantly see posts claiming all kind anomalies coming from underground. Those claims are NEVER INVESTIGATED, period! Why are they building them? They know a natural catastrophic event(s) is coming and unless one is in the safety of the underground he/she will perish. The number, 500 millions survivors from Georgia guide-stones was written as a warning because they already who will live and who will die. They also know the exact date when the calamities will start. It is fair to say that the year 2020 could be earliest but it could be much later as well, maybe 2040. I always remember Al Gore talking about January 2016 being the start of it, so if he said that, he must know something. Of course we all know that he lied about Global Warming. The natural calamity that will cause this: ICE AGE! PhilippinoBob |

MarkinAZ User ID: 20006444 United States 01/23/2013 02:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There has been tons of info leaked out on this ultra-highspeed transport system leaked out to the public for the past 50 years! The sheer volume and the level of "dis-information" alone put out there tells us that it almost has to be real. Otherwise why bother with such elaborate denials? Security clearances are needed for every low level laborer who works on these projects and they are of course very well paid. But laborers have a habit of drinking beer and talking/bragging after work. When they see themselves surrounded by a group of co-workers, have a few drinks in them, etc., the need for secrecy or security seems to fade in proportion to the number of beers they've ingested in the past hour or so... The Nuclear Powered Tunnel Boring machines seem to be real enough that plans and patents exist for them and have for many years now. The specifications on the earliest versions of them claimed they could bore a tunnel some 18' in diameter thru solid granite and fuse the walls of it with the removed material that was melted and compressed and then forced into the walls of the tunnel providing sealing, structural strength and eliminating the necessity of hauling out dirt and debris. The tunnels, once bored with that kind of system/equipment are ready to use the minute the walls are cool. No further structural work required. Lay the tracks or install the power carriers and airlock doors and venting and vacuum systems and it's ready to carry traffic. Supposedly with the earlier versions of the TBM machines they could get as much as 3 miles of tunnel dug and finished in one day. Now do a little math and you quickly find that a tunnel of 1000 miles in length could be dug in less than a year! And that's the older machines. Surely they've improved as the tech has matured and chances are high the later models are now much faster. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1371470 United States 01/23/2013 04:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wonder what the effects of a shockwave from breaking the sound barrier would be in an enclosed space. Not to mention that you would need space shuttle quality ceramic tiles to survive the heat build up just from air resistance at that speed. Could be solved by running in a vacuum, but that is a whole other level of problems. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17938575 It would be a reduced friction arrangement.......10,000 mph in air......really not practical for a train.......it would be in a reduced air pressure environment......closer to 0 psi the less air resistance. A vacuum is not possible over those distances, 0 psi reduce tube integrity. Maybe a psi or 2 would add to structural rigidity of the tube? Maybe Maglev in low psi would do it? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 32834780 Canada 01/23/2013 04:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They remove the air from the tubes to reduce air resistance. That's why it's also called a 'vac train'. That's what allows them to travel so fast. You will not hear these trains breaking the sound barrier. Nor does conventional TBM drilling usually produce loud booms. Drilling directionally, and removing material as you go, really isn't that invasive on solid bedrock. The booms you can chalk up to several fault lines about to rupture. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 18042129 United States 01/29/2013 01:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Larry Edwards was my friend and co-worker. He invented the vacu-train. [link to en.wikipedia.org] He had planned a demonstration project with Syracuse University funded by Transportation. The project was shut down by orders of the five sided building, and his patents were stolen by the Govt. |
