The Hyperloop is a new idea proposed in 2013 by Elon Musk. A Hyperloop system would consist of a long tube that would connect one city to another. This tube is held at a low pressure, allowing pods to travel through the tube at high speed with very low friction. A Hyperloop could be used to transport people or freight more economically than any other transportation system. A trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco would take about 35 minutes and pods would reach top speeds of 760 mph.
To build a high speed, self-propelled Hyperloop pod and complete a successful vacuum run during the SpaceX Hyperloop Competition III on the 15th of July, 2018.
- Top speed: 230 mph
- Vacuum safe
- Real-time pod behavior monitoring
- Stop the pod 100 ft before the end of tube
- White papers for every subsystem
It is more important that ever to start living more efficiently and sustainably. The Hyperloop is the future of affordable and sustainable transportation, and HyperXite’s research will accelerate the development of a full scale Hyperloop transportation system.
Energy efficiency study details from the Hyperloop Alpha papers
