Parrahub and Sydney to Melbourne Maglev via Canberra

[eddy]

At the moment a Sydney to Melbourne underground SC maglev train would cost the same as a surface one particularly when taking maintenance and security into account but as tunnels get far cheaper perhaps more cities can be connected and in 100 years there will be no steel rail to fall off like in Victoria.

Dominic Perrot wants more housing in greater Sydney by building housing blocks at Camellia but it would cost heaps to fix the site and flood proof it with raising the wall on Warragamba dam.

Perhaps it may be better to make the site a botanical garden and provide more free standing homes by building Parrahub for older people to upgrade to a maintenance free unit with a SC maglev to Melbourne plus all the services.

Just seen a guy on afternoon briefing saying he hopes Australia builds HSR but nowhere in the world can HSR carry freight and it would be a waste of money to build it but the Japanese SC maglev has been proven with passengers for ten years unlike the BS the Chinese talk about with only 1 cm clearance.

Using steel rails between Sydney and Melbourne will be uneconomical without an overnight container train to reduce daytime fares and it would break my heart if they stuff it up and we get stuck with trucks like everybody else.

[eddy]

The Japanese SC maglev has proven 600 km/h and if you build it to take overnight container trains to make it economically viable in a single 11 psi tunnel it will go 700 km/h.

A single tunnel could be built Sydney to Melbourne with passing stations at Canberra and Albury for $60,000,000,000 with a return of $1,000,000,000 p/a now this is not a great return but it is better than wasting money on a slow surface HSR which cannot take an overnight container train to make it profitable.

Here is a good explanation of how it was built and tested successful for ten years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjwF-STGtfE

Although the Sydney/Melbourne SC maglev will only initially recoup 1% 0f the $60b it is not subject to the same inflation as trucks and planes so by just undercutting them slightly it may recoup 10% p/a in the not too distant future which is not bad.

This is the email I sent to NEM today https://www.aemc.gov.au/energy-system/e ... system/NEM

I proposed a SC maglev between Sydney and Melbourne with passing stations at Canberra and Albury made economical due to overnight container trains reducing daytime fares below planes.

As it would all be done in a single breathable 11 psi tunnel it will allow 700 km/h.

Would it be a good idea to get power from Snowy hydro?

[eddy]

Finally I found the distance between substations on a SC maglev and believe they would be quite OK in the launch shafts every 20 kilometres then I thought of the problem with the fire guys in Sydney wanting emergency exits every 250 meters in the new harbour rail tunnel and it got me thinking about how different our safety standards are all over the world.

Where we accept one plane crash per year and the London tube just goes to the next station in an emergency I am not too sure if Australia would accept a SC maglev having an emergency exit every two minutes at every launch shaft even though a stainless steel train would have nothing to burn like a road tunnel.

In my opinion the DD guys are hoping that Labor will get in and it would be funny if they got stuck with the problem now when it is a bit late for the fire people to complain about the distance between emergency exits being too far apart in the new Sydney rail tunnel.

This is the email I sent today to the Marti group in Switzerland because they always overcome many problems.

To allow Japanese SC maglev overnight container trains to achieve 700kn/h to subsidise the daytime fares below planes, the single tunnel must be kept at a breathable 11 psi by pushing the pressure build up in front of the train out via the exhaust valves on each launch shaft.

At $2,000 per container it would earn $2,000,000 per night making little at first but due to small inflation would soon be a good investment but I need to have a very rough cost of driving the roughly 600 kilometres via passing stations at Canberra and Albury to work out if it would be economical.

[eddy]

Evidently 66% of business say they want to go greener so saving $1,000 on fuel each container by using the SC maglev would appeal to them.

[eddy]

Women prefer to work with other women and as we need more public housing without causing inflation perhaps Parrahub is built entirely with women who would love a chance especially as it would be an entirely new project with entirely new ways of construction.

Rather than printing $10b for the future fund for social housing making some rich people richer, build Parrahub allowing the many women who like that sort of job to enter the workforce thus not creating more inflation.

These units would be bought off the shelf by wealthy people particularly single women to allow whoever to stay in the huge units with possibly an extra income.

[eddy]

Instead of increasing the tax on diesel for trucks which will only increase the cost of everything, build the SC maglev Sydney to Melbourne via Canberra and Albury which will eliminate 700,000 B doubles per year off the Hume thus reducing prices.

As each one uses $1,000 of diesel each way and there will be no inflation with maglev in ten years I believe it will return 10% p/a

[eddy]

The problem I see with slow surface rail is the experts are last century experts and it can never make a growing profit like connecting Sydney to Melbourne with passing stations at Canberra and Albury.

60 Chinese TBM would drive it in five years for $60b that will allow a 700 km/h SC maglev to keep daytime fares below planes with overnight container trains.

Japan is very smart with SC maglev but dumb with tunnels and China is very smart with tunnels and dumb with maglev and if they cooperate they may even get Japan to kick the can as they want a place to showcase their SC maglev which has to be subsidised as it cannot take a container train because the tunnel is a tad small.

I am hoping they will cooperate to ease tensions and maybe I am getting my hopes up too high when Japan never sent their foreign minister to the G20.

[eddy]

Because of unemployed in China https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUy5iRv7ilY
I think they would be glad to build the 60 TBM we need to connect Sydney to Melbourne so this is the email I sent their embassy.

Unless it can take an overnight train to reduce the daytime fare it would never make a profit so and I am not so sure about surface rail like last century as we are a democracy like Japan and we would have the same problems with everybody wanting a station in their town with all the greenies stopping it because of some frogs then you have to build and maintain all the service roads, bridges, tunnels and you can never have a 11 psi single tunnel that allows overnight container trains to reduce daytime fares below planes while still making a profit.

60 Chinese TBM would drive it in five years for $60b that will allow a 700 km/h SC maglev to keep daytime fares below planes with overnight container trains.

I believe with economy of scale it could be as cheap as the Niagara tunnel

As the Chinese embassy has not replied to my emails I put it on the comments on this Chinese You Tube.

We would need to sign up for for the CCP's belt and road debt trap before anything happens which would see the anti CCP we hate China crowd start complaining that we have sold out to China

I am unsure if we need nuclear subs or not because we would not like to be blockaded like they were in WW2 and I think if Australia bought the sixty TBM @ $200,000,000 each off China on condition they allow Taiwan freedom we could invest in connecting Sydney to Melbourne via Canberra and Albury with a growing return on the investment where buying subs is only a provocation with no return especially as the girl from the American CIA said in the future the sea will be invisible.

Your maglev idea could work in a few other ways then the Sydney to Melbourne route and one of those ways would be a Perth-Adelaide maglev tunneling under the nullarbor could be a interesting concept

At present I think only Sydney to Melbourne with passing stations at Canberra and Albury because I believe it is the ideal place in the world with huge cities 700 kilometres apart and not going anywhere would return a growing profit but perhaps if tunnels get cheaper or cities grow bigger then who knows.

[eddy]

True HSR is uneconomical as it cannot take freight trains but because a single tunnel between Sydney and Melbourne with passing stations at Canberra and Albury can earn $2,000,000 every night it can keep the daytime fares below planes.

While the freight sidings are on the outskirts of each city, Parrahub would be the best position to have the Sydney end as it has 20,000 parking spaces next to the M4, the only virus free negatively ventilated building in Australia, 5,376 huge 4 ensuit bedroom units, multipurpose building with all transport and services at the push of a button even to Melbourne, Canberra, Albury and Melbourne.

Assuming each truck uses $1,000 of diesel per trip you can charge $2,000 per container so ten trains of 100 containers is $2,000,000 per night.

As nothing touches with SC maglev there would be a growing return as trucks and planes suffer from inflation.

Using this link https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Spe ... _329974145 and there is 1,000 passengers per train then and it takes 1 hour to go the 700 km then 1,000 seats = 1000x100x700=70 MWh @ $100 /MW =$7,000  in my calculations.

This other link says the maximum power usage of 740,000 kW https://scmaglev.jr-central-global.com/faq/ it still stacks up but I am unsure how much or what speed of the container train.

Sometimes you can deter enemies with a bigger stick and sometimes you can trade with them so they have to be nice like Germany tried to do with Russia before Trump stopped nord 2.

It may be possible to order the 60 TBM worth $200,000,000 each off China to drive Sydney to Melbourne in five years and save us spending money on subs although most Aussies prefer to buy the subs I think.
