ideas: new form of transportation

i call it the RCRT, stands for rail catapult rapid transit.
rail because its going to work like a rail gun to catapult people over a fixed distance.\

frm wiki:

A railgun consists of two parallel metal rails (hence the name) connected to an electrical power supply. When a conductive projectile is inserted between the rails (at the end connected to the power supply), it completes the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal of the power supply up the negative rail, across the projectile, and down the positive rail, back to the power supply.

This current makes the railgun behave as an electromagnet, creating a powerful magnetic field in the region of the rails up to the position of the projectile. In accordance with the right-hand rule, the magnetic field circulates around each conductor. Since the current is in opposite direction along each rail, the net magnetic field between the rails (B) is directed vertically. In combination with the current (I) across the projectile, this produces a Lorentz force which accelerates the projectile along the rails. There are also forces acting on the rails attempting to push them apart, but since the rails are mounted firmly, they cannot move. The projectile slides up the rails away from the power supply.

So now we replace the projectile with...

So you load the person into this specially engineered capsule and fire him to his destination. The landing zone would be in the sea, using water to break its fall.


Speeds can reach up to 20km per second, allowing you to travel to other countries within minutes, however the destination will need to have a sizable body of water for the landing zone.
Due to its extreme speeds, users will experience considerable amounts of G-force even with the pressurized suits on. A license would thus be required to use such form of transport. To obtain this license, users would have to undergo a series of G-force conditioning programs.

Yeah, so look out for this revolutionary transport system in the near future. :)
