HyRail Inventor And CTO Interviewed On Michigan Public TV

Posted Aug 09 2009 4:50am

If you haven’t listened to the 3-part telephone interview I recorded last year with Justin Sutton, inventor of the Interstate Traveler Hydrogen Superhighway (HyRail) and recipient of the prestigious Sir Isaac Newton Award from the American Computer Science Association, then you owe it to yourself to do so. The files are available here.

>> If you would enjoy a visual preview of what the fuss is about regarding the HyRail, you now have available the convenience of a 25-minute TV interview.

On July 31, the aforementioned Justin Sutton, along with Adam Nehr, Chief Technology Officer of the Interstate Traveler Company (whom I recruited), gave an interview to Michigan Public Television at the studios of WGVU in Grand Rapids. It is an insightful session which covers much of the power of the HyRail, including the fact that it is estimated to create over 2 million jobs once fully constructed along all 54,000 miles of existing Eisenhower Interstate Highway.

Justin and Adam did a fabulous job with the interview. You can watch it here.

Remember, there are a great many attributes of the HyRail over and above high-speed magnetic levitation for the movement of people, cars and freight. The most important innovation which the HyRail has over any conventional form of mass transit is the conduit cluster at the heart of the rail conveyance. It allows for the safe movement of most any form of liquid fuel of vapor as well as huge amounts of electricity through superconducting cable.

Let us not forget that hydrogen is very much involved here. It is the energy capacitor which the HyRail utilizes in order to operate even in the absence of sunlight, as Adam explains. That same hydrogen also provides for the ability to grow hydroponic crops and the ability to engage in large-scale forest-enhancing initiatives. Indeed, Justin Sutton intends to commit up to 10% of the company’s revenue to 10 Billion Acres, an inspiring initiative of afforestation and reforestation with ties to the United Nations.

With so much potential to combat global warming contained in the HyRail, it is easy to lose sight of its broader humanitarian implications, especially in the area of medical care. The Triage Traveler mobile trauma center will operate on the HyRail network bringing a level 1 trauma center, complete with trauma surgeons, right to where it is needed most urgently. At the same time, the HyRail Hospital will allow for the provision of larger, full-service medical facilities literally to be brought right where they are needed for short-term events such as concerts and rallies of events of moderate duration such as natural disasters.

The list of attributes goes on and on. So, take a look at the fresh TV interview with Justin Sutton and Adam Nehr. Then, if you’d like to learn more, check out my 3-part telephone interview as well as the HyRail website. I promise you’ll be glad you did.
