Everything you need for the underground tunnel network

So I was surfing for a new bike and ran into this link... Kawasaki Rail Cars

Check out the Maglev Linear Motor Car. Has a short little video clip when you click on it. Thing freaking SMOKES.

Then, under that, you can see the Tunnel Boring Machine.

Enjoy

Some interesting excerpts from a very interesting article at www.subversiveelement.com...:

The September, 1983 Omni ran a picture story on the "Subterrene," a nuclear tunnel-boring machine developed at Los Alamos. The machine burrows through deep underground rock, heating it to a molten state (magma), which cools after the Subterrene moves on. The result is a tube with a smooth, glazed lining that can be used for the high-speed transport shuttles that link the sub-base complexes.

Informants have told us that underground facilities utilize transport tubes to shuttle workers to and from work. This is more than a subway. These tube trains use high technology. It isn't surprising, then, to learn that Frank P. Davidson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a plan to unclog the airways by designing electric "wingless airplanes" that hurtle across continents and oceans in sealed tubes or tunnels that are essentially frictionless vacuum chambers. Perhaps he should meet with Dr. Kaempen and consider using his composite pipe as the tube.
