The problems with super fast trains

The problems with super fast trains

1. What if the system loses control?

There has been introduced the idea of the train, which would transport people as fast as the TAV (Trans-Atmospheric Vehicle). The thing what is called as "Magnet loop" would base the idea, that the train would float on the magnets, what will transport it about the speed of Mach 12. The system has many problems, and one of them is, what if the system would not stop the train before the track ends, and if the train would hit the wall in the speed of Mach 12, that will cause a huge explosion.

The capacity of the super fast trains like the Hyperloop and its cousins are remarkable. If people could mass-transported all around the world for less than 3 hours, that would cause the revolution of transportation.  But if we think the trains, what are floating on the magnet track, and what would use the magnet rails, or Gauss rails to move, the speed of those trains would be incredible, and if something goes wrong the destruction would also be incredible.

2. The impact would cause a catastrophe.

In these versions, the system would transport the train in a tube, where is a vacuum. That would terminate problems of the friction, and in theory, the train would have the ability to travel in the speed of light. In this super-sized vacuum is no resistant air, what would put limits to the speed of the trains, but what if the magnets will fail?

When the train, what has the speed of several times higher, than the speed of sound hits to the wall of the tube, the impact energy would be extremely high. That causes extreme big damages, and if there would be the leak on the wall, the vacuum in the system would fill with gas.

And if there is another super fast train traveling in the tube, it would impact the gas wall, the temperature will rise immediately, and the train can melt immediately. Or it will send a devastating pressure wave to the forward. The train, what moves in a vacuum can reach a higher speed than aircraft, but there are many problems with that system.

3. What if there would be a leak in the tube

If the leak would happen in the station, the people would face a similar fate, what they would face in the space. And otherwise, the leak could cause horrifying damage. When the leak will happen, when the train travels with full speed, and the impact with gas would cause a worse accident, than any other traffic accident before.

If the super fast train would touch the wall of the tunnel, when it travels with full speed, the impact energy can cause destruction also outside of the tube. And this is the thing, what causes problems with the Hyperloop and it cousin Magnet loop, what would allow people to travel between Europe and New York less than the hour. And this makes those things a very attractive choice for the aircraft.
