• every day over 500,000 vehicles travel the 401 (the busiest highway in NA), which in the case of personal vehicles is a [2,600-4,400](https://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/average-car-weight.html#:~:text=Currently%2C the average small car,any trailers or other attachments.) pound machine using X amount of energy, and X amount of gas everyday release X emissions, just to transport an average of 1-2 ppl per ride. Plus traffic, people spent X hours. So ppl are loosing time, money, and increasing emissions because of an incredibly inefficient solution
• planes → worse, only really ideal for overseas travel, but less 15% are
  • ppl tend to use planes over other forms of transport because they are significantly quicker, but they also tend to be one of the most inefficient forms of transit due to the amount of gasoline required, emissions produced. 85% of total flights are considered "short-haul,” and by Eurocontrol's definitions, "very short-haul" flights under 500 km and "short-haul" flights between 500-1,500 km together likely make up a large portion of total flights. These are a huge amount of flights that could be avoided, and done more efficiently
  • huge amount of fuel needed to get planes up into the air & to fly, could be reduced if we figure out supersonic tech & how to fly higher for commercial use
• bad weather
• plus issues like preventing preventable fatalities in crashes, uneven access to transportation from poverty & disability inaccessibility.
• overall great amount of time and money is wasted on transportation, plus spends majority of emissions over any other industry. there must be a better solution.
• right now there isn’t, but prominent solutions being developed are
  • hyperloop & Maglev trains
  • high speed trains
  • EVs & self driving cars → supposed to aid in reducing emmisions
  • micromobility vehicles → supposed to kill the last mile issue (distance between public transit spots)

hyperloop is a solution that checks all the issues above expect the two main issues are that safety regulations don’t exist, and it’s technology has not been around long enough, matured, for us to know how it works long term and consequences to passengers if something unexpected goes wrong as a result.

i’m working on the second issue speeding up tech maturity by building as many hyperloop motors as i can. this past year i’ve addressed issues like end effects, uneven distribution of magnetic fields, cost of production, speed factor, and material efficiency.

• i spent a lot of the past 8 months looking at the first, technical maturity
