Hyperloop is a version of ET3 (“Evacuated Tube Transport Technology”). This technology will bring you at great speed from one large centre of population to another.
“Speed in initial ET3 systems is 600km/h (370 mph) for in state trips, and will be developed to 6,500 km/h (4,000 mph) for international travel that will allow passenger or cargo travel from New York to Beijing in 2 hours” (from www.et3.com ).
However:
· ET3 will not pick you up at your doorstep and deliver you to the
doorstep of your destination. First you must
find a Hub from which to start your journey. Then, your journey ends at a Hub,
not your actual destination.
· ET3 engages
complex and expensive technologies. Krunchie's Cab uses simple and
easily-implemented technology.
· Krunchie's Cab can
be tried in a pilot scheme on any few miles of disused railway or along an
existing road. ET3 requires a large distance and very straight route; San
Francisco to New York is an example. This has legal, administrative, engineering
and cost implications and takes considerable time to implement.
· When high-speed
routes and Krunchie's Cab routes are both in operation, Krunchie's Cab can hitch
a ride on the ET3 route. There can be symbiosis between both, Krunchie's Cab providing the
local door-to-door service and ET3 the super-fast long distance travel.
·
While ET3 has
years of a head-start, Krunchie's Cab can still be up and running first.
· Even without ET3,
Transport Krunchie's Cab offers international and trans-continental travel at
speeds that are very competitive with existing modes of transport.
