Flownuts

[Darrin S]

I am starting my website!  It is about conceptual "Hyperloop" designs.  I have an intersection in motion drawn from the Flownuts Hyperloop Intersection and Puff2 models.  The conceptual 'hypertrack' is 15' diameter.  The 'hyperpod' or 'hypercart' is meant to fit tight in the track tubes and sized to carry a semi trailer.

The website is Flownuts.com  or Flownuts.wordpress.com

Right now, just to get going, the site is password protected.  You could probably guess the password, but just for fun, I'll start with some hints!

1. The password is 4 characters long...

2. It will not make your computer crash, and has no symbols, like a slash...

 

The website is still "Under Construction" and probably always will be, but at some point I want the big public opening.  The concept of Flownuts is to be nothing short of the biggest corporation ever spanning Transportation and Media.  Any input is welcome to envision what Flownuts Corp. looks like, but the website is meant to be somewhat satirical.  I don't know about "parody", but given that many Hyperloop companies have done very little, I think it's okay to poke a little fun at them.  All will be welcome.  Everything is public.  And AI is excited to help with the precise mechanics. (I like CoPilot myself)

 

Here's the look of the "HyperCart"

It's meant to hold a semi trailer that is going to load and unload at high speed...The animation has not been started, but it will show:

1. The approach of a train of HyperCarts linked together coming out of the Tube

2. Carts disconnecting

3. Doors opening, cargo unloading and loading new, doors closing

4. Re-connect to carts and re-enter Tube

When the cart gets to it's final Transport destination, it can drive on it's own to it's specific location...like a semi truck!

With a Tube inside diameter of 15', the Cart outside diameter is 14', giving a 6" gap.  The gap will have a flap to catch air for speed.

Carts will connect together for long distance transport.  Over long distances, Carts with heavier loads (water, oil, etc.) are in front, followed by products, followed by passengers at the back.  The most ambitious project is to haul water from Alaska to the Baja Peninsula to develop the peninsula (condos), while dropping water off to Lake Mead.
