Travellers enter aluminium pods mounted by skis either to their feet or to their cars, top. The pods, mounted above the ground on columns 50 to 100 yards apart, travel through steel tubes, reaching speeds of up to 800mph and travelling on a cushion of air. These images, left and right, show sketches of the passenger transport capsule and how it would look travelling through the steel tubes. Continue...
Musk told Bloomberg Business Week the system would be ‘like getting a ride on Space Mountain at Disneyland.’
‘It would have less lateral acceleration—which is what tends to make people feel motion sick—than a subway ride, as the pod banks against the tube like an airplane,' he said.
‘It would feel supersmooth.’
'The Hyperloop (or something similar) is, in my opinion, the right solution for the specific case of high traffic city pairs that are less than about 1500 km or 900 miles apart,' he claimed.
Ok o!
ReplyDeleteIf d thing shoot them and hang dem for unknown location nkor o?
Another season of LOST!
If naija had it's own hyperloops, armed robbers will create a whole half way through it's journey and street hawkers will also create their own to sell gala

ReplyDeleteLA to SF in 30minutes?
ReplyDeleteI do hope this fella realizes how independent electromagnetic pulses can be,going just below the speed of sound is definitely gonna produce sonic booms.
The future is here but I don't wanna be a part of it yet;I'm still a huge fan of planes,trains and cars.

Elam Musk did not say 30 mins o Linda, the guy said 45 mins and by the way there is no plan in the works yet. He was just thinking loud.
ReplyDeleteWile throwing up in the process
ReplyDeleteWhy waste money on a creepy looking contraption? The flight bw LA and SFO is around 1 hr as it is. The 2 cities are in the same state, about 6 to 7 hrs by road and i'd rather spend 30 mins extra in a plane than to be catapulted to the end of the nowhere.
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:15pm.

All these oyibo self...dem don go far while we still dey battle for megawatt.
ReplyDeleteHe was up all night putting the finishing touches to it....but he said he's too busy to build it. He's hoping someone else will. So yeah, if there were money in it and it was realistic, he would do it himself. I think this is just meant to be a "concept", and will not happen in our lifetimes....
ReplyDeleteGod pls giv uz an idea dat will change tinz around for uz n our nation.
ReplyDelete....knowledge shall increase.
ReplyDelete-Blunt Ibo boy-

ReplyDeleteSpace mountain at disneyland scared the shit of me, i was almost saying some last prayer...It gave me a 1 week straight spine ache. This is idea is sure a no for me but nevertheless this is creative at its peak...
ReplyDeletePeople think about crazy ideas all the time...there are some out there about a flying car and there are concept hovercrafts all in drawings! California and indeed the whole of the US does not even have a bullet train system...the one on the drawing board for California has been on for years and is still being delayed. We are used to the multiple-stop train rides on Amtrak...doing San Diego to LAX in 3 hrs and stopping everywhere like a molue!
ReplyDeletethen don start again after people go begin dey die like dog. Nigerians in the USA be warned.
ReplyDeleteNice idea..dis is good..Future is here..I hope to travel inside one someday..but 30mins is too much..10 mins for make sense..................THE DON
