L85[08:49:33] <Mat2ch> There is no alternative to a hyperloop system. Air travel will be restricted heavily in the next 10 years. People don't seem to be able to grasp how hard climate change will hit us.
L86[08:51:38] <Althego> high speed train. without the vacuum
L87[08:52:51] <Althego> also with better batteries: electric planes. since a turbofan mostly generates thrust by the fan already, you just need to replace the jet with an electric motor

L91[08:55:04] <darsie> If it's made from biomatter or CO2.
L92[08:55:39] <deadmind> Mat2ch why would hyperloop be necessary? it's an unproven proposed system that doesn't even win against established and simpler systems on paper
L93[08:55:58] <deadmind> why not just build shit that is cheaper and has been working for decades?
L94[08:56:08] <deadmind> e.g. high speed rail
L95[08:56:29] <darsie> Because it's slower and has higher losses.
L96[08:57:04] <darsie> There are maglev trains. Just put them in vacuum tubes.
L97[08:57:07] * TheKosmonaut has detected a violation in the morality code for #KSPOfficial

L99[08:57:57] <TheKosmonaut> Please send payment posthaste to the Ministry of Morals.
L100[08:59:07] <deadmind> if we're talking about the hypothetical best-case scenario for hyperloop, sure, but as far as I know there still is no easy/cheap solution to get an actual evacuated tube on any sort of real world distances. IF you can get that working cheaper than just building a regular ass train and paying for rolling resistance and drag loss instead of air pumping loss then hyperloop would be allright
L101[09:00:02] <deadmind> TheKosmonaut: oh no! :D -- also what, is it amoral to not bandwagon the hyperloop idea in here?
L102[09:02:03] <TheKosmonaut> You have violated KSP COMMUNITY GUIDELINE 2.2 (g) WHICH STATES: "Use of vulgarity, profanity, parts thereof (S***) and any technique that bypasses the language filter to post vulgar or profane content;"

L104[09:02:29] <TheKosmonaut> There is no such rule in the KSP COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
L105[09:02:48] * TheKosmonaut retracts hardpoints and continues cruising in witchspace
L106[09:04:47] <Mat2ch> deadmind: because people will always compare the current system to planes. Means: We need trains that go as fast as planes. But we need to conserve energy as well, so highspeed trains that go 700 km/h won't be a thing.
L107[09:04:56] <deadmind> oh. dang. i apologize, i totally timewarped through that maneuver :D
L108[09:05:57] <Althego> they dont need to go as fast as planes
L109[09:06:08] <Althego> provided you dont need 2 hours to finally get on them
L110[09:06:16] <Althego> with useless security checks
L111[09:06:34] <Mat2ch> and for hyperloop you don't need a vacuum, but a low pressure tube. And you can keep that low pressure, if you design in locks
L112[09:06:53] <deadmind> Mat2ch: where does the 700 kmh need come from, though? people comparing it to planes on Twitter does not matter, it's a transit system not a political platform. when viewed as an engineer, even IF air travel was your direct target and we were talking strictly long-distance here, you wouldn't need anywhere near 700 km/h to be better than planes
L113[09:07:02] <Althego> that low pressure is around martian levels, basically vacuum for any normal person
L114[09:07:51] <deadmind> most plane journeys average WAY less than that, in fact in many cases you wouldn't even need "high-speed" rail to beat planes
L115[09:08:36] <Mat2ch> smaller capsules also means: Smaller tracks, more flexible routing AND: almost no noise, so it's much easier to build this in urban areas
L116[09:09:26] <Mat2ch> And that's the next mistake all of you are making. We don't need hyperloop for travels below 300 km. We need it for the long jorneys, 1000 km and above
L117[09:09:49] <Mat2ch> say you wanna go from Europe to the US by train. How long would it take?
L118[09:10:11] <Althego> and how would you do it?
L119[09:10:16] <Althego> hyperloop under the sea?
L120[09:10:16] <Mat2ch> and yes, you have to go the other way round, because there's no way we will build a train line through the Atlantic ocean
L121[09:10:26] <deadmind> Mat2ch: the goal isn't to make an engineering art piece though, doing whatever it takes to make the idea possible. the goal is to provide a better overall transit service to populations. in that race, a highly security sensitive and expensive pressure-controlled tube carrying low passenger count vehicles, would likely lose out to current in-service transit systems (not high tech 'planned'
L122[09:10:27] <deadmind> ones) in most cases
L123[09:11:15] <Mat2ch> What is "high-tech" on hyperloop that isn't already high-tech on a regular highspeed train?
L124[09:11:36] <Mat2ch> Sucking out the air of a tube? Not high tech anymore.
L125[09:11:39] <deadmind> there's no way we're going to build an underground tunnel through the Atlantic ocean, if we did, the rail vs. hyperloop decision would be comparatively small
L126[09:11:42] <Mat2ch> Having locks? Nope.
L127[09:11:57] <Althego> vacuum in itself, actually low vacuum is not high tech
L128[09:12:09] <Althego> now t ry doing it for thousands of kms
L129[09:12:17] <Mat2ch> yeah, so what?
L130[09:12:46] <deadmind> having 100s of kms of highly secure pressure controlled infrastructure is DECIDEDLY high tech compared to existing Victorian-era technology that got some upgrades in the 80s to bring it up to "high speed"
L131[09:12:52] <Mat2ch> you will have stations on the way, where you can have pumps running, there's enough space for solar panels on the track itself to power it, etc.
L132[09:13:09] <deadmind> if for no other reason that one has been functional for decades while the other is not even proven to be feasible on paper
L133[09:13:31] <Mat2ch> uhm, you should really get into the building and maintaining of high speed trains. The rails aren't as easy as you think to build
L134[09:13:45] <Althego> even transcontinental starship hooper seems to be a better idea
L135[09:13:54] <Althego> which also has its problems
L136[09:13:59] <Mat2ch> .oO( ok, now insert a joke about the Deutsche Bahn and functional for decades :D )
L137[09:14:14] <Althego> at least DB works
L138[09:14:22] <Althego> mostly
L139[09:14:31] <Althego> not like máv
L140[09:14:38] <Althego> which is the hungarian state railways
L141[09:15:19] <deadmind> Mat2ch: I don't think high speed rail is cheap
L142[09:15:28] <deadmind> but we are comparing it to hyperloop.
L143[09:15:53] <Mat2ch> Which is in an early state of development and has several opportunities to make it dirt cheap.
L144[09:16:18] <deadmind> a proven, reliably replicated system that has high carrying capacity and reliability in return for the relatively high maintenance cost and high upfront cost
L145[09:16:47] <Mat2ch> Like the tube itself: Can be extruded plastic tubes, which are fused together.
L146[09:17:38] <Mat2ch> We have so much plastic swimming in the oceans, we could build thousands of kms of tube with it...
L147[09:18:41] <darsie> degraded plastic, IMO.
L148[09:18:54] <Mat2ch> good enough to make sunglasses out of it
L149[09:19:02] <Mat2ch> https://products.theoceancleanup.com/
L150[09:19:04] <Althego> it is like prototyping vs production. anybody can make a prototype. bud making it millions of times reliable is completely different. you can make a "hyperloop" for few hundred meters. doing it for few hundred kilometers is different. current experiments didnt even need the vacuum, they were never that fast. so what is the point
L151[09:19:10] <deadmind> so this isn't high tech, but part of the reason for building it is that maybe it could be cheaper if some current materials science ideas turn out to be feasible? and then immediately scalable to super industrial levels?
L152[09:19:50] <deadmind> compared to: metallic rails like we used to do in the 1800s, but with tighter tolerances
L153[09:20:06] <Mat2ch> If you start with that attitude you will never create anything new, because you are just judging by the upfront cost
L154[09:21:07] <Althego> not everything is possible
L155[09:21:14] <deadmind> it's not a question of attitude if the reason for dismissing it is technical first and cost second.
L156[09:21:39] <Mat2ch> But it is possible to build.
L157[09:21:47] <Mat2ch> The technology is already there
L158[09:21:56] <Mat2ch> you just have to "plug" the parts together
L159[09:22:38] <Mat2ch> linear motors are not new, air pumps are not new, building tubes, go ask the Brits about that
L160[09:22:58] <darsie> "New Austrian tunneling method"
L161[09:23:03] <deadmind> i'd love it if hyperloop was feasible, and would greatly prefer we build something futuristic like that instead of just shit we've already done, but engineering very specifically should be a land where feasibility should trump how much we like the idea. and the more i think about hyperloop as an engineer, the clearer it becomes that it makes no sense at all. (again, this could change if
L162[09:23:03] <deadmind> some super high tech materials science breakthrough happens)
L163[09:23:21] <Althego> caution, you used another 4 letter word

L168[09:24:19] <Mat2ch> deadmind: I'm an engineer myself and I could probably build a functioning hyperloop in my backyard. If I had a backyard big enough.

L170[09:24:53] * TheKosmonaut fires a tungsten rod across deadmind's bow
L171[09:24:57] <deadmind> Mat2ch: i imagine you're not talking about a 1000+ km backyard that has millions of people needing transport services in it.
L172[09:25:05] <deadmind> otherwise you're talking about building a prototype, not "a hyperloop".
L173[09:25:10] <Althego> i said up her nose not across it :)
L174[09:25:21] <Althego> who made this man a gunner?
L175[09:25:50] <TheKosmonaut> Althego: it isn't my fault ONI didn't give you a proper AI
L176[09:25:55] <Mat2ch> deadmind: that's just a problem of the diameter of the tube and how many "pods" you send through
L177[09:26:00] <deadmind> and we're talking about hyperloop as a transit system vs. existing high speed rail. if we're talking unfeasible, but possible, prototypes, we'd be comparing to the 500+ km/h TGV trains from the 90s. (which, by the way, despite being a prototype, actually carried more passengers on those test runs at those speeds than would fit in a theoretical hyperloop capsule :D )
L178[09:26:15] <TheKosmonaut> You wanna try creating firing solutions in space? Lemme tell you-- it ain't easy
L179[09:26:31] <deadmind> the diameter of the tube is a MAJOR multiplier of almost every single aspect of the cost though
L180[09:26:34] <Althego> it was a spaceballs reference
L181[09:26:40] <Mat2ch> It is? Why?
L182[09:26:41] <deadmind> making it 10% wider isn't going to make it just 10% more expensive
L183[09:27:15] <TheKosmonaut> Althego: so far the references have been Elite: Dangerous, Halo, Space Balls
L184[09:27:25] <TheKosmonaut> Something else in there m sure
L185[09:27:26] <Althego> i noticed elite ye
L186[09:27:31] <Althego> i never played halo
L187[09:27:59] <deadmind> because it completely changes around the equations for how you make that tube strong enough for a given pressure if we're talking about a larger diameter. then you also change all of the support structures for it and their load bearing needs, you need to upgrade your other huge cost center, the active pressure control
L188[09:28:04] <TheKosmonaut> Halo's main shipboard weapon was the MAC which basically was a giant railgun that shot big tungsten balls

L198[09:29:47] <Mat2ch> deadmind: your calculation is off. If you increase the diameter the amount of material you need increases linear, but your area increases by the square
L199[09:30:25] <Mat2ch> and if you take a dirt cheap stuff like extruded plastic tubes, it's not a real factor.
L200[09:30:57] <darsie> gn
L201[09:31:00] <Mat2ch> the the pumps, yes you need more or maybe have to run them longer, but with a well designed lock system (which is nothing special today) there's not much air going inside of the tube
L202[09:31:33] <Mat2ch> you need a bigger linear actor, but that is due to the increased weight of the train
L203[09:31:47] <Mat2ch> etc.
L204[09:32:13] <Mat2ch> as long as you avoid building tunnels the costs will be linear with the diameter.
L205[09:32:35] <deadmind> the amount of material definitely does not scale linearly with the diameter, it's not just about having enough to make "a tube", you're talking about making a tube with the same extreme strength constraints while making the diameter larger. that is definitely going to be more than a simple linear scale-up
L206[09:32:49] <Mat2ch> the only reason why hyperloop may be a failure is that people will oppose it, because it's new
L207[09:33:20] <deadmind> i think that is starkly in opposition to what we've seen so far

L211[09:33:47] <Mat2ch> Huh? I only see people here who don't want it.
L212[09:34:05] <Althego> the problem is, at least currently not feasible
L213[09:34:23] <deadmind> it was an idea floated without any sort of serious effort behind it, and was immediately swept into popularity *and has remained there for like 5+ years* without any sort of significant engineering validation of its feasibility

L217[09:35:09] <deadmind> if, say, a construction consortium came out with a detailed actual plan to build an actual hyperloop what they would get is an absolutely immense flood of positive hype which is the opposite of what you imply
L218[09:36:10] <deadmind> compared to: some random construction consortium submits a proposal to create a high speed rail line that accelerates an entire country's climate commitments in a way that can reasonably be expected from day 1 to work out.
L219[09:36:21] <deadmind> nobody cares. some people complain because it isn't hyperloop.
L220[09:38:14] <deadmind> also see: Starship, a pie in the sky idea with absolutely no certainty that it will work at all. people freaking love it and are happy that it is happening, even though they probably aren't currently being hurt by the high Mars transit ticket prices
L221[09:40:11] <Althego> not really pie in the sky. there are many possible issues with it. the raptor, the steel as main material, even the heat shield tiles (i dread those, remember the shuttle)
