All aboard – Canada could be getting a 1,000km per hour ‘vacuum tube’ train.
The dizzyingly fast ‘FluxJet’ proposal was unveiled last month by Canadian startup Transpod.
If the new design works, the levitating plane-train hybrid will be sucked along vacuum pipe guideways, linking far-flung cities in less than an hour.
Tickets will cost less than a plane fare, Transpod has promised.
It sounds too good to be true. So how does this dizzying new technology work – and is it actually feasible?
How would the FluxJet work?
The design is based on a new type of physics that the company describes as ‘veilance flux.’
It is similar to Elon Musk’s famous ‘hyperloop’ idea, where
