Tunel między Europą a USA

A tunnel between Europe and the US? Is it realistic?

ByLogan

Sounds absurd? And yet, plans have emerged to build an incredible tunnel that would connect Britain and America. It would be 4,989 kilometres long and cost £15.6 trillion.

A tunnel megaproject has been created

The tunnel would run under the Atlantic Ocean, and trains would travel at breakneck speeds – apart from the project itself, there are no serious details on the subject yet.

Proposed the project would bring Britain and America closer together using a giant tunnel and would cost an equally staggering amount – 15.6 trillion pounds. And this is the reason that makes us doubt the implementation of this project. The idea of ​​building a transatlantic tunnel is not new and was born over a hundred years ago. It is supposed to be exactly what its name suggests: The Atlantic Ocean Tunnel, connecting the UK and North America, will stretch 4,989 kilometres under the ocean. For comparison, the English Channel between France and England is only 37.8 km underwater.

How will the tunnel work?

A number of ideas have been put forward as to how the underwater tunnel could work. Some have suggested that would have to run entirely beneath the seabed, either as a pipe or a combination of solutions. Another idea is that the tunnel will consist of tens of thousands of prefabricated sections and cables and will be floating tunnel. We agree on one thing for now, the tunnel would be designed for trains, not vehicles. Such a journey would probably take several days and require appropriate infrastructure. One idea is to use Vactrain, a type of magnetic trainmoving in conditions close to a vacuum. Theoretically, such a train would be able to reach a speed of 8 thousand km/h.

Current ideas are still rather impossible to implement with current technology, but necessity is the mother of invention. There are many ideas, the time will come for implementation.
