Conventional means of
transportation (road,
water, air, and rail) tend
to be some mix of
expensive, slow, and
environmentally harmful.

particularly problematic,
given carbon emissions
and the fluctuating price
of oil. Rail travel is

efficient and offers the
most environmentally
friendly option, but is too
slow and expensive to be

Construction
Hyper loop is used for
both passenger and
freight transportation. It
has a pod like vehicle
that will be propelled
through a near vacuum
tube at a speed greater
than the airline speed.

accelerate to cruising
speed gradually using a
linear electric motor and
eliminating the dangers
of grade crossing.
The Hyper loop was
proposed by Elon Musk,
CEO of SpaceX/Tesla in
a white paper in 2013, as
a replacement to the
California High Speed
Rail.
Theory of operation
Hyperloop has four key

using passive magnetic
levitation or air bearings.
The tubes could go

columns or it could go
underground, therefore
capsules aren't propelled
by air pressure like in
vacuum tubes, but by
two electromagnetic
motors. It is aimed to
travel at a top speed of
760 miles per hour.
