Could a Supertrain be Built Around the Northern Hemisphere?


We hear much about the largest bridge ever being built proposed for the Bering strait, larger than even the bridge that may be built out West off the coast. This new bridge would have a new look sort of like me who's been writing since the 20th century! This might not be like the giant harp of the older bridges, they reported seeing a giant angel in the space shuttle with wings the size of a 747 and you know ya know, the angels would get a real good Xray on each go round. What angel would go in 747, much safer than travel by elevator! Travel by elevator, safest per mile. If you go to Hawaii in an elevator, or if they lit a cigarette in Hawaii and could see it by lens in New York by great astronomy lenses, why go such distance to light a smoke! If you lined up all the cigarettes smoked each day you still couldn't take a puff, thank goodness!

The new way for a car to drive over water is not land as some realtors would say but actually, the bridge, (the realtor commutes to work in an RV.) The half circle of the arch of The Bering Bridge reaches with the feet of the arch down to the sea floor, and also the arch reaches above the water to support the road platform suspended from the wires attached to the arches above and to the side at other angles. The wires stretch out to reach and support the road so if there's an earthquake it's earthquake proof, by damping. The Bridge being built across the Bering Strait will use the same method. Interestingly the Bering strait has the most tidal friction anywhere in the world as the water sloshes in and out, while the bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia has the highest tides anywhere, like 90 feet plus a reversing river, when the river flows out it's in one direction and then later in the day the tide comes in. This is rather like the reversing river in India that flows one direction for six months and then reverses for 6 more. This is like the water where I live, the water runs 6 months cold and six months hot. Palmer Lake on the continental divide of the Rockies actually empties both East and West, (we assume the mountains that empty into it are not just to the E or W either).


If you have this small road platform with the wires and larger arches making it earthquake proof, it could be used conceivably for more extreme transits, as in even over higher mountains or reasonably close distances of open sea. For even the open sea the science of offshore platforms is well established, this would seem to be much simpler to build than a complex machine of no more mass. Some have proposed to build a super train from NY to Los Angeles, super high speed because there would be no air in the tunnel. And right through the mountains so the train is level and fast, like 6,000 mph. But I think this idea could be carried farther, and much faster too perhaps! The same arches may be used to make a global connection where we would make a super long train tunnel where instead of a platform for the road we have instead the train tube,
that is also earthquake proof of course to continually go all the way around the N hemisphere. If we started say in NY city we would then go over the open sea to some extent off the Nova Scotia, then to Greenland, then the arches being even able to go over open sea, to Iceland and S to Scotland, the E through Europe to S Russia and back N of N China if China won't let us build the train there (though china might want to buy into the train for business) up around to Alaska also across the Bering strait. No doubt the train platform and the train would then travel back to down to central N America in a complete loop around the northern hemisphere, a giant merry go round the world... Not only would the train be super high speed, it would also not even have to stop, one continuous train that would never have to stop so it would be super high speed. it's true now that the cost of moving a ton a mile by train is 90% reduced over what it was in the early 20th century. It's also true that today's high speed trains in the US are no faster than they were in the Hoover administration.


There's no need to believe we wouldn't perhaps find stronger power sources for the train in the future to power the train, e.g small shelf size particle accelerators are being devised that are as powerful as giant machines like the LHC, sooner or later even small cheap fusion machines might be built, as e.g. in my own idea of IFF, Inertial Focus fusion.

The train might be a way to unify world culture. In spite of dreamer's dreams that per se the web or other improvements would unify the world (more about this in 1989!) only 5% of mail is international mail, and speaking a common language with another country increases commerce 47% or so. If you don't know the same language it reduces business. And so on and so fourth, to venture fifth and sally fifth, there are limits caused I would believe more by lack of proximity than by culture. Mexico speaks another language, but the US Mexico border is the most traveled in the world. Even so only 70% or so of internet exchange is between countries that have common languages. If travel were much more cheap, we might be able to unify the world culture more. It's been said that only community is real, all else is metaphor, but if there's no word for metaphor in the language of business, the world might be richer. High speed supercheap travel might be more than metaphor because by reducing distance community would be increased more. Conventional power for the train as with the E to W coast train would already be viable, but fusion would make it cheaper, ect. because although it costs 200$ to fly to Europe if you stand out on the wing and pedal the turbines most airlines are above! My neighbor looked up at a plane the other day and says, Wow! There's someone on the wing I think I see up there of that airplane! I was reading in how this beautious lady was a wing walker, not just in OH, she walked in 5 states per hour! She was a concert pianist, there was no grand up on the wings of the airplane she would play, even so she would go upside down on the airplane at 375 mph, and she said it was like having a typhoon for a hair dryer!

If the super train was powered by fusion or more conventional sources it would be a way to unify the world culture, reaching also to Africa and SA, because those arches could go over even the open sea or high mountains. If you started, say in Peru and go N really fast up to Missouri and then connect to the train going E. as with the high speed trains in China that never stop, so too this train might never stop for travel and transport for business, ect. at low cost. It would reduce the intermodal freight traffic so they spill fewer of the intermodal freight containers. (For the near term I've believed a good solution to be cheap wave power and GPS onboard each container back to port in a week or two, reducing pollution and saving lots of goods.)


If we start the train down at the tip of SA it would always have to start and stop instead of like the continuous ones in the N causing large inertial forces not so common in a train like the one that might unite the N hemisphere. If you have the train in South America and it's starting from a stop (which is what I'm always trying to achieve!) it would go N really fast; perhaps you would need some way to shield from it's inertia, thus I propose we use the machines that use the oscillating slice of wheel, with a more common wheel you have the inertia sending out the force all the way around like the coach who says we're going to turn this team around 360 degrees! But if we say turn around just say 90 degrees at Christmas or 45 degrees in summer, we could stay real cozy in Alaska or like Canada where they say global warming isn't so bad. (I think global warming may be because of the dust, perhaps making it where like where I live each August it gets cooler each year, like a month earlier than before when I was like 17. Why would global warming cause this? The new agricultural dust may be shielding the earth from the heat even though the sun is burning hotter in general as is known by our records of the solar storms ect. And as I say the greenhouse warming theory predicts that underneath the clouds on a hot day it will be the warmest, if it's actually dust shielding from the heat, the hotter might be at the top and the cooler temperatures near to us. Click here for more about My idea about Global Warming. Or as they say at Christmas when it's 30 below, global warming Ha! Or like Ho! Ho! Ho! Why No when you're with Winona, if she's an anesthesiologist a knockout with pleasure!

About the train, if they actually used inertial shields as in the IP, in each person's wall of the train, and also other shields to reduce stress on the train with acceleration, starting and stopping would not be so extreme, or perhaps one large N circular train in both N America and one in Asia could be used to connect with the N train to Eurasia and this N train arch could reach a central SA and a central path from N Asia could also reach a smaller central path in SA to solve the problem of starting and stopping, by always going fast in a continuous loop, rather like the particle accelerators have a loop for reaching the main accelerator. This would increase the length of the main train paths increasing business for the cities along the path of the train, this would be an alternate way to solve the problem of starting and stopping for the African and SA trains. another option may be to make them slower, so not so expensive too, reaching the top speed after reaching either the N America or the Eurasian tracks.

To reduce vibration of the train, high speed magnetic actuators would make it so the train would actually never contact the tube, perhaps magnets above would be more stable since like for wind tunnels that use reduced pressure being more stable than tunnels that use positive pressure, ect.

Another problem might seem to be about seeing this vision of seeing a sort of tangled web, a giant spider's web for 50 miles away, you know. Of course in places like the central US, they could just make it on the ground or below ground, or like the St. Louis Arch, they could say, look there's something here, Here's What We Can See! We have our own tourist destination, not planes for miles! I think the new invisibility cloaking machines that are being developed might be used for all sorts of large machines like this, e.g. onshore wind generation machines, if an airplane was about to hit it, they could become visible in time to save them, or just turn on warning lights or whatever..
