Pneumo-tubes to bring all necessities to every home

[oscar111]

pneumo tubes are those air pressure tubes you see at some bank drive ups that send the capsule rabbits thru them to the car.

I was fascinated by a scifi story in which such tubes brought all needed food and gadgets to every house.

We have built sewer tubes to every home, and they have the same cross-section volume needed by supply pneumotubes.

So we COULD build them.

What do you think of it?

Good? Bad?

4. "Let them eat {chocolate} cake"

Well, hmmm.... i guess things will have to be trimmed and folded to get thru the tubes.

A tube the size of a sewer pipe is feasible, since that exists now for every habitat. Arent they about seven inches across?

You could get an oblong Choclate Cake thru .

Is that your main diet, sugarblues? LOL

PS what does sugarblues mean?

2. In the early 70's when i worked at 1000 bed hospital lots of

stuff --pharmacy meds, supplies, patient charts, etc was transported by these tubes. Across and up and down. i do not know if they still use them but they sure were efficient and quick.

5. Computer notices running out of an item, re-orders, TUBE sends it

the scifi story had a TUBE computer monitor your pantry, and when an item began to run low, it automaticaly sent more to you via the TUBE.

so your valuable brain did not waste a second of life with shopping for basic regular things, like food or combs or socks.

sounds good to me... comments?
