[glow=red,2,300]New Super-Fast Transport System Powered By
Passengers’ Screams[/glow]
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. “If passengers are terrified
enough to scream in abject terror the entire duration of the
ride—and they probably will, knowing that even the slightest
malfunction will cause their flesh to peel off their bodies—an
hour-and-a-half trip from New York City to San Francisco could
be a reality.” Musk added that his team is still working on
technology that would power the rapid transportation tubes with
both crying and silently praying to God for the trip to be over.
