Its actually an easy idea that if some men pull their heads out of their coffers maybe we/I could get the start up money so i can make a track for the shweeb type stuff what we need is some money given to me so I can make some working real life charity & tourism and some public transport systems to spur a new concept of going to work

Nathanael. Very funny, but honestly its a part of our discussion to not have children.

Given the world’s apparent inability to get its act together to prevent utter catastrophe, I conclude that it’s time to stop having children. You’re just cursing them to live in an era of mass starvation, so it’s insane. On the other hand, those of us over 30 may have a chance of dying of natural causes before humanity starves to death due to global warming.

That “human powered monorail” looks like another one of those “looks cool on the cover of Popular Mechanics” concepts that has little chance of succeeding in the real world. First of all, it appears that only the young and limber could squeeze easily into the units (pods?). Second, maybe the pods can go 40 mph, but you have to stop somewhere–what do the stations look like? How far apart are they? I can see lots of issues with handicap access. I would presume the name “Shweeb” is derived from the “Schewebebahn” suspended monorail in Wuppertal, Germany.

Really? The world’s first floating nuclear power plant?

WOOOOO HOOOOO. All those days melting rock in the Navy really was just a bad dream.

Is there a chance the tracks could bend?
Not on your life my Hindu friend.

Monorail!

It is sad how accepting we are of “utter catastrophe” being listed as just another item… along with tongue-in-cheek “solutions.” Global warming is not “future”, people are dying now. It is time to stop subsidizing the auto and sprawl.

I once road on a aerial bike like that over a rainforest in Mexico. It was fun. Though it seems like this idea would be far cheaper if you just ran a cable or two.
