Parrahub and Sydney to Melbourne Maglev via Canberra

[eddy]

Back in the 70’s everything was done in a mine with much sweat but now things are made too big to manhandle and it is done with machines and as women are busting to get a job in the building industry maybe they can do the whole thing including planning the earthquake proof building which is the first in the world.

I watched this documentary on California HSR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgHSYHXFfwg and how hard it is to do HSR on the surface in a democracy especially as it cannot take freight to make a profit.

[eddy]

Instead of the Toowoomba tunnel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCeCvTHkJ_c that is designed for diesels that may carry up to 60,000 liters of diesel and needs all the emergency exits, the SC maglev Sydney to Melbourne has none and as coal mines have proven over the years 1,000 volts have never caused a fire to my knowledge.

Risk v reward and there would be far less people killed on the roads if cars were not allowed to go faster than walking speed but that is impractical so I think a single tunnel with emergency exits at every launch shaft should suffice every two minutes.

When they built dams or railways in the past they had small cities for the workers and today there are many FIFO workers so I suggest a small compound be set up at every launch site approximately 20 km apart where workers can live for two weeks and then go home for two weeks as soon as they achieve the 100 metres.

The workers can either be locals or FIFO from East Timor which has a great airstrip if necessary, all speaking English and on the same pay allowing a specialist crew to extend the services before the next crew arrive.

There is nothing like job and knock to get guys to really have a go.

After watching Modi being welcomed at Harris park the idea came to me that perhaps 500 of the 5,000 Parrahub units could be sold off the plan to overseas Indians and this would enable the purchase of the proposed area so women who are busting to get into the building game can start the excavation without any increase of inflation or housing shortage.

Because a Parrahub building has never been done before, particular attention should be made to make it earthquake proof.

[eddy]

This is the email I sent the mayor of Parramatta this morning.

Due to the housing shortage in Sydney perhaps 500 Parrahub units could be sold off the plan so buyers stay in India while it is built thereby not increasing the shortage further.

This would allow the site to be bought and excavation started while earthquake proof plans are drawn up.

At 78 I am past my use by date so it is up to younger people to decide on if Canberra is connected with last century steel rail or next century Japanese SC maglev which can be profitable connecting Sydney to Melbourne and having a growing return on investment in 5 years.

Many people accuse me of being a dreamer but I have 25 years experience and interest in transport of freight and people with 25 years experience and interest in underground and I can say China will never go fast with only one cm clearance where the Japanese SC maglev has gone the equivalent of 82 times around the world with passengers.

As Albo said we want to trade with China but will not get pushed around and perhaps I am wrong but by buying 60 Chinese TBM they will settle down.

So good luck with whatever you decide.

Regarding the Parrahub virus free, negatively ventilated disability friendly building it is far better than spending an extra $34b on aged care (National press club today ABC) to build it so rather than having care workers spending all their time and money between jobs they can live and work in the same building with retirees, business and students.

Better than an extra tax because working people are a bit over it.

John 21:18 says you go where others take you and old people will have to relocate rather than have services travel all over town to help them.
We have had our time and the young people do not need any extra tax.

[eddy]

The days of cheap Chinese wages are over and now they get the same as the American worker, now they have many people leaving their universities with no job prospects China wants to sell hi tech products.

As they make 22% of the worlds TBM it can be win win if we started to buy the 60 double shield hardrock TBM off them to connect Sydney to Melbourne with a profit making Japanese SC maglev.

They will have to understand there is to be no sudden stops of imports like before as we are a good customer.

Why should we not be trying them ourselves?

Why should we not be trying them ourselves?

I am not sure if you are referring to my Trailerbus or Parrahub to Melbourne.
If you are talking about TBM then Terratec is based in Tasmania and holds the still standing record for the fastest tunnel in the blue mountains with an old Robbins TBM https://www.robbinstbm.com/the-worlds-fastest-tbm/

If you are talking about the Trailerbus I might be wrong but I think it is pride.

[Fleet Lists]

No It is about the stuff you want to get from China.

[eddy]

As we sell twice as much to China as they sell to us it I thought it would be a good if Herrenknecht designed them in Germany and built them in China as they have many production lines of TBM where we have none.

We can still learn plenty off just driving them particularly if a couple of universities go from site to site to compare.

Talking to my daughter about getting hundreds of emails she had to distribute daily 20 years ago and she said she would only look at the subject before sending them on to different departments as she never had time to read anything.

With this in mind yesterday I sent Parramatta council the following three emails.

Subject—— Housing shortage. To start the excavation for Parrahub.

Subject—— Virus free building. To provide the first negatively ventilated building in Australia.

Subject—— Homecare. To save homecare workers wasting time travelling across town.

[Fleet Lists]

They will wonder what that is all about especially the first one.

[eddy]

I explained it would take a year to buy the property and do the excavation eliminating any inflation while an earthquake proof building is designed with off the plan buyers staying overseas until finished there would be no added housing shortage.

As it would be the only negatively ventilated building in Australia it would be great for vulnerable people.

At present homecare workers have to spend half their time travelling between jobs and to make it worse some have not got a licence and need to be taken and picked up.

[eddy]

I think the accommodation on Snowy 2 is overkill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaiD99GdbAM

FIFO workers from East Timor would be happy with a few shipping containers to sleep in at each launch shaft compound getting $5,000 each for the two weeks with the agreement once they do their 200m their direction they can go home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=la-H5ai8URg

[eddy]

The Japanese SC maglev with its old fashioned atmospheric drill and blast horseshoe shaped tunnel can have a train in each direction but it cannot take container trains and is limited to 500 km/h by air resistance.
However the Parrahub to Melbourne via Canberra and Albury would be driven in two years with 60 double shield hardrock TBM from China to help with our trade imbalance to create a circular tunnel.
Because it is a single tunnel the pressure build up can be pushed out the exhaust valves on the 30 launch shafts to maintain 11 psi for the train to reach 700 km/h economically and needing only one guideway between passing stations.
This allows overnight container trains to be profitable while eliminating trucks and planes between Sydney and Melbourne.

I don't think I would want to travel that fast.

I don't think I would want to travel that fast.

You go that fast in a plane which can fall out the sky.

[Frances]

I don't like flying either.

John 21:18 says you go where others take you and old people will have to relocate rather than have services travel all over town to help them.

A rather ingenious interpretation, but not a correct one, I'm afraid. Jesus is here predicting Peter's crucifixion. Verses 18 and 19 read:
18 Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”
19 He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me".

The dressing by others is a reference to binding prior to crucifixion, and the stretching out of hands is a euphemistic reference to the crucifixion itself.

Be that as it may, I don't think many aged care workers would want to live in the same building as the people whose care they are responsible for. Surely this would have the effect of placing them more or less on call 24/7. It would drastically reduce the time they can spend on their own lives.

[eddy]

Homecare workers can work and live wherever but the main thing is as you get older you lose your licence and eventually end up in a home but older people can rent a room in Parrahub for $100 per week to save homecare workers and doctors travelling across town wasting young peoples tax.

[Frances]

$100 a week? Is that a realistic estimate? Rentals in Parramatta are more than four times that. How would you make accommodation in Parrahub so cheap?
