A vactrain (or vacuum tube train) is a proposed design for very- high-speed rail transportation. It is a maglev (magnetic levitation) line using partly evacuated tubes or tunnels.

A vactrain (or vacuum tube train) is a proposed design for very- high-speed rail transportation. It is a maglev (magnetic levitation) line using partly evacuated tubes or tunnels.

The concept of the vactrain was first proposed by Robert H. Goddard in 1904. The idea was also described in the 1973 film Genesis II: an elaborate underground rapid transit system called a …

Jan 3, 2021 · A Vactrain (or vacuum tube train) is a magnetically levitated, or magnetically powered, train system running in evacuated (air-less) or partly evacuated tubes or tunnels.

Nov 1, 2022 · Vactrain proposals date back to 1799 when British engineer George Medhurt proposed his Atmospheric Railway: a steam train inside of a partially evacuated tunnel.

This concept, called hyperloop or vactrain, would use airtight tunnels with super-low air resistance, allowing trains to travel at nearly the speed of sound.

A vactrain (or vacuum tube train) is a proposed design for very- high-speed rail transportation. It is a maglev (magnetic levitation) line using partly evacuated tubes or tunnels.

A vactrain (or vacuum tube train) is a proposed, as-yet-unbuilt design for future high-speed railroad transportation. It is a maglev line run through evacuated (air-less) or partly evacuated …

Feb 27, 2009 · A vactrain is an exotic, as-yet-unbuilt proposal for future high-speed railroad transportation. This would entail building maglev lines through evacuated (air-less) tunnels.

Dec 3, 2023 · Imagine traveling at hypersonic speeds, covering vast distances in mere hours. The vactrain, a vacuum tube train propelled by magnetic levitation, promises to redefine high …
