I forgot about this bullshit, but since I was an early adopter of calling it bullshit I'll chime in again.

There is no way in hell you can maintain a vacuum seal on a tube going for 100 miles yet alone 20, or 15, or 10.

The maintenance required would be insane and any failure in the tube = scraping all your particles off the walls.

Reading back I said yeah sure test it, but I mean this was the obvious reality. Sounded like a scam from the start and now all that money is gone.

The white paper was trash to anyone who actually read it.
