5 Hyperloops That Will Change The Future of Transportation

The Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and freight transportation, first used to describe an opensource vactrain design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX, although the vactrain concept was first proposed by Robert Goddard in 1904. Hyperloop is described as a sealed tube or system of tubes with low air pressure through which a pod may travel substantially free of air resistance or friction. The Hyperloop could potentially convey people or objects at airline or hypersonic speeds while being energy efficient compared to existing high speed rail systems. Elon Musk first publicly mentioned the Hyperloop in 2012. His initial concept incorporated reducedpressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on air bearings driven by linear induction motors and axial compressors. 00:53 1.
