Book Description
What Is Vactrain A vactrain is a conceptual design for an extremely high-speed rail vehicle that is currently under consideration. It is a maglev line that operates in tubes or tunnels that are only partially evacuated. Because of the decreased air resistance, vactrains may be able to move at very high (hypersonic) speeds with just a little amount of power, reaching speeds of up to 6,400-8,000 km/h (4,000-5,000 mph). This is five to six times the speed of sound in the atmosphere of the Earth as measured at sea level. How You Will Benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Vactrain Chapter 2: Pneumatic tube Chapter 3: Transrapid Chapter 4: List of proposed future transport Chapter 5: Inductrack Chapter 6: Maglev Chapter 7: Atmospheric railway Chapter 8: Transatlantic tunnel Chapter 9: Beach Pneumatic Transit Chapter 10: Gravity-vacuum transit Chapter 11: High-speed rail in India Chapter 12: StarTram Chapter 13: ET3 Global Alliance Chapter 14: Magnetic levitation Chapter 15: Hyperloop Chapter 16: Virgin Hyperloop Chapter 17: Hyperloop pod competition Chapter 18: Keio Alpha Chapter 19: The Boring Company Chapter 20: TransPod Chapter 21: Arrivo (II) Answering the public top questions about vactrain.

Book Description
What do you do when the criminals are faster than the police? Artificial enhancement of humans is illegal, especially since it makes the criminals smarter, faster, and more capable than those who enforce the laws. Digger Stewart is a Ranger, a member of the law enforcement organization tasked with policing the transhuman trade. Raised on a backwater planet, Digger’s thirst for adventure sends him to the stars. When a mission goes wrong, though, he finds out about CARD—the Combat Applications Research & Development group—the Rangers’ secret, elite commando unit that gets called to save the Rangers when all hope is lost, and Digger gives up everything to join it. On a normal day, the Rangers don’t have any problems taking down Biofate, the powerful interplanetary criminal organization that deals in transhuman affairs, and they can easily shut down Biofate’s illegal labs when they’re found.

Book Description
What will life be like if global average temperatures increase over 4 degrees Celsius (7.1 degrees Fahrenheit)? What will life be like if sea levels increase 8 meters (26 feet)? What if both happen? The Entity science fiction book series (www.theentity.us) takes the reader on a one-thousand-year struggle of humanity to save Earth as a habitable planet. The series begins with three novels in the years 2147, 2647 and 3147. It takes one-thousand years to see the disastrous effects of climate collapse. Far more is at risk than losing coastal cities and land. The effects of climate change will upend everyone’s life. Will institutions survive? Will governments fail? Will democracy endure? Will capitalism prevail? Will your standard of living perish? Will humankind survive? Does humanity have the political will to solve the climate crisis? Are the adversary’s technology, the universal laws of thermodynamics, or humankind itself? In the science fiction series, one relentless antagonist is climate change with a second antagonist emerging later in the series. Can humanity survive these two powerful adversaries? In David A. Collier’s debut novel, The Entity: 2147, the mysterious entity arrives on Earth offering a solution to an Earth ravaged by heat and flood. But humanity must overcome its greatest obstacle: itself. The burden of salvation falls on the shoulders of the Hickory family as fractured nations, ignorant governments, and ravenous media grapple with the entity’s arrival. In the second novel, The Entity: Climate Change 2647, the entity returns to Earth to find more climate destruction and human chaos. The planet’s climate shifts have triggered mass migration, war, disease, famine, and the collapse of almost seventy governments. The story takes readers on a journey of humanty’s fight for survival through the experiences of the Paris family. The story ends with a unique solution for the Paris family—one of hope and eternal love.
