6. • Airlocks at stations allow transfer of capsules
without admitting air. Linear electric motors
accelerate the capsules, which then coast
through the vacuum for the remainder of the trip
using no additional power. Most of the energy is
regenerated as the capsules slow down.
8. • Compared to high speed rail, ET3 needs only 1/20th the
material to build because the vehicles are so light.
• ET3 can be built for 1/10th the cost of High Speed Rail,
or 1/4th the cost of a freeway.
