Transatlantic Travel

Imagine being able to travel from London to New York in 54 minutes. Now if someone said that to me, I'd say it must be impossible, but I've found out that this isn't the case! A model has been made that shows that high speed transatlantic travel is actually possible, in the form of a magnetic train within a floating vaccum pipeline.

Futuristic engineering is a real interest of mine, and to find out that this is possible has blown my mind! It's projects like this that I dream of working on in the future.
