SAN FRANCISCO—Entrepreneur Elon Musk unveiled his plans Monday for a revolutionary Hyperloop transportation system, which would seat riders in vacuum-like tubes, launch them from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and would be powered solely by the screams of its terrified passengers. “With zero negative effects on the environment, the Hyperloop could cut travel times in half, or even by two thirds, depending on how loud passengers’ shrieks and pleas for help are,” said Musk, adding that special turbines will convert the horrified screams of its riders into kinetic energy, which would then propel the capsule at record speeds toward its final destination.

4. It looks like the nationwide system of pneumatic tubes

that industrialists in the 1930s envisioned. The Depression followed by the New Deal meant that they had to pay their workers, instead, so we got the internet.

I don't think I'd fancy it. Traveling in a much larger tube up in the air is already unappealing. A tighter one would be even worse.
