03 Aug Hyperloop
You probably already know about Elon Musk who invented Tesla, Paypal or SpaceX.
His new innovative project is about mobility: he is developping a very fast new way of transport named the Hyperloop.
The Hyperloop would be designed as a tube where “caps” (sort of wagons, see image) are moving inside. The caps will transport people or merchandises.
Inside, the tube moves is under low pressure in order to limit air frictions.
The caps are propelled by a magnetic field generated by induction engines distributed under regular gaps.
The Hyperloop speed is estimated at 1200km/h.
