this idea is about travelling from point A to Point B without spending any (new) energy or fuel. meaning using the potential energy we have. Like a in house skater drops of from one edge and rises to the other end.
One should endure to dig a tunnel From .A to .B underneath the earth surface, as though if earth surface projected as a plane the tunnel we dig will be of Parabolic shape. imagine such a tunnel between two points on opposite sides of the earth. just drop in the tunnel with a designed vehicle that would snugly fit the tunnel we could emerge at the other end.
it ll be a costly project but once built it could support fuel less transport.
Obstacles to overcome.
constant shifting of tectonic plates has to be considered
the apex of the tunnel might get closer to earths core
