Saw on r/sino. Wanted to share. Seems pretty awesome. Obviously would have to be toned down for human passengers uses. For automated uses though that acceleration would be bonkers. Rocket level momentums with no actual combustion fuels. Maybe those futuristic space slingshot things we see in some media. Long ass ramp that shoots a craft straight up then this uses it’s engines to maintain momentum instead of wasting half it’s fuel just getting off the ground?
So like a railgun?
I believe it’s the same concept yeah. But seeing as how they are testing it with something that looks like the front of a train or suck vehicle I assume their first priority is using it for constructive purposes and not so much as an instrument of war. Although the possible uses could be both military and civilian.
fuck that’s nuts…we’ll see that in america in about 2045
When USA fall and the successor states join BRI.
That’s 1 Mm/hr. Yes, a megameter.
It is a major project of strategic cooperation between the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the governments of Shandong Province and Jinan City
Local government in China: doing experimental engineering like that
Local governments in the west: hostile architecture to opress the most vulnerable people
What a good day for trains.
