transatlantic tunnel
DESCRIPTION
transatlantic tunnel through pacific ocean from New York to London.TRANSCRIPT
TRANSATLANTIC
#Transatlantic Tunnel is
actually a theoretical tunnel
which would span the
Atlantic ocean from New
York to London extending
its way to France…..
#Using advanced technologies,
the Maglev trains through
this tunnel would speed up
to maximum 8OOO km/hr i.e.
almost 5OOO miles/ hr…..
Difficulties Regarding The mapping Of
Route
|;
#Route starting from New York – then New Finns land coast
in Canada – passing beneath the ocean floor to Greenland –
Iceland – and then splitting to Norway and England was
envisioned which halves the under water construction………
#Overland portion,, ice and high wind condition on the lands
of Greenland,, will certainly slow down traffic…….
||;
#Beneath the ocean floor of Atlantic ocean is not possible b’coz
of Mid Atlantic Ridge,, a volcanic mountain range directly at
tunnel’s path…….
#The area averages remarkable 5 earthquakes everyday making
construction at such a seismically active region is deadly……….
|||;#Along the ocean floor is not possible b’coz of very
high pressure deep inside the ocean……..
#At just 1 mile down water pressure is 165 times the
pressure at sea level……..
#At ocean floor almost 5 miles deep the water
pressure is 8OO times i.e. almost around 12 million
pounds of pressure per square inch……..
||||;#Thinking of large pontoons
supporting the tunnel from the ocean
level won’t work b’coz of continuous
strong currents……
#supporting the tunnel with concrete
piers would be out of question b’coz the
ocean is 5 miles deep…construction of
such piers would be even a larger project…..
The proposal#The transatlantic tunnel
would span Atlantic ocean b/w
New York & London extending
to France ..….
#More than 54000 prefabricated
tunnel segments built on the land
will be linked together along the
ocean about 160 ft below sea level with the help of
specialized ship called Immersion Pontoon……..
#The prefabricated sections would
be held in place by 100000
tethering cables ……
#These cables would be anchored into the
seafloor with the help of submersibles……
#The tethering system would allow the tunnel to
sway slightly to withstand Atlantic’s
strongest currents, including
Gulf streams…..
#The anchors would be pushed inside
the seafloor with the help submersibles
creating almost vacuum b/w anchorage &
seafloor…..
#B’coz of greater accelerations & high
speed,, passengers would experience
g-forces. To minimize them trains
would be provided pivoting
rotating seats and each car would
have its own pressurized
circulating air…….
