The Boring Company's PRUFROCK. "Electric powered & 10-15 times faster than current TBMs"
I don't know what to make of the Prufrock news. Elon Musk is sometimes a bit speculative.
Can you imagine if he is right this time? Can you imagine what such an ultra-TBM means for existing TBM companies? Bye bye Herrenkhecht, bye bye Robbins, bye bye CREG, bye bye all old tech
Can it be true? Can anybody share info about Prufrock here?
Neither Elon Musk nor his The Boring Company let any information out. I am sure Elon Musk wil do what he did with cars, revolutionize tunnel boring machine technology with Prufrock.@R.N.Mischke Yes Elln Musk can be speculative but he also delivers. The guy sends rockets to space for God's sake!

if the boring company and elon musk deliver prufrock with the claimed performance level
1- it will be like BC, AD, like a new millenium for mechanised tunneling
2- people from herrenknecht, robbins, hitachi zosen, terratec, creg ,crhi will be ashamed of telling in public which company they work for.
my bet is, it can not achieve 10-15 fold performance gain in one leap. even 2-fold is revolutionary.
go prufrock!
