What he's doing is showing that in its current state, the hyperloop will not work for a variety of reasons. What he's not saying is that the generalized concept of transportation in a vacuum tube is impossible. Yes, he's pointed out many flaws, but as far as I know none of them are fundamentally impossible to solve. (If I remember correctly the 3 major ones were heat expansion, vulnerability to attack and car design) They're definitely big challenges yes, and claiming that the hyperloop will work in its current design is definitely pseudoscience, he's again not saying that the general concept is physically impossible. |
