I see some serious issues in this project

The speed would seem very low.
To increase the speed you would need to improve the infrasctructure, but this would not be cheap
even if technolgy is old, doesn't mean it's good. verythin that is elf-balancing is at risk of falling in case of failure...

Cool project tho
