I have this plan to drill a network of tunnels thru the Earth (and possibly the moon), the goal is to make travel quicker, easier and safer for the benefit of all, let’s face it the present situation is just not adequate for future needs. My vision involves connecting all the worlds major cities with tunnels, now of course we cannot tunnel straight thru the core for obvious reasons,that would be highly hazardous, so we will just have to tunnel around it OK. I think the best option is to build a sub-monorail network, like say for example you need to travel from Helsinki to Melbourne, or Montreal to Johannesburg, do you really want to go thru with all that tedious mucking about with airlines and unpleasant stuff and the risks that go along with that kind of thing (like terrorists or volcanic ash or lost luggage,etc.)? No? Me neither! What I want to know is how fast can my sub-monorail go without inconvenienccing the passengers with stuff like turbulence and/or G forces? Are earthquakes or flooding going to be a problem underground? I realize it would cost a lot of $ but you have to spend $ to make $ OK? Are there any possible safety issues with a project like this? Lets say that if we get it running and charge 20% less than the airlines and get from A to B 20% faster, the advantages are huge, this technology doesn’t pollute cause it’s electric, and think of how many jobs that would create, this system could be moving 100 million passengers per year by 2050. What do you think of my plan, can you suggest anything to improve on it, has somebody else already thought of it, can you think of a better name than ‘sub-monorail’?... Read More »
