Machine translation and pneumatic tube: what they have in common
- Step 1. Machine translation — uses — Computer. The first experiment ran on an IBM 701.
- Step 2. Computer — is used in — MRI. Image reconstruction.
- Step 3. MRI — has part — Superconducting magnet. A superconducting magnet.
- Step 4. Superconducting magnet — is part of — Maglev. Japan’s SCMaglev uses superconducting magnets.
- Step 5. Maglev — evolved into — Hyperloop (concept). It develops the idea of magnetic levitation.
- Step 6. Hyperloop (concept) — was inspired by — Pneumatic tube. Capsules in a tube — pneumatic post for people.
