EEVblog 1498 - TransPod Fluxjet Hyperloop $550M Boondoggle!

The Transpod FluxJet is Hyperloop based on the “New physics“ of “Veillance Flux“! And plasma arc power transfer! $550M to create a reduced pressure Fluxjet link from Calgary to Edmonton in Canada. It’ll only cost $18B, what a bargain! And Sydney to Brisbane? Err, yeah, ok, let’s look at that...
