2) The tube tracks have a<br />

v a c u u m , b u t n o t<br />

completely free of air.<br />

Instead, they have low<br />

pressure air inside of<br />

them.<br />

power to the periodic<br />

motors.<br />

Advantages of Hyper<br />

loop<br />

Most things moving<br />

through air tubes will<br />

end up compressing the<br />

air in the front thus,<br />

providing a cushion of<br />

air that slows the object<br />

down. But the hyper loop<br />

will feature a compressor<br />

fan in the front of the<br />

capsule. The compressor<br />

fan can redirect air to the<br />

back of the capsule, but<br />

mostly air will be sent to<br />

the air bearings.<br />

3) Air bearings are ski<br />

like paddles that levitate<br />

the capsules above the<br />

surface of the tube to<br />

reduce friction.<br />

4) The tube track is<br />

designed to be immune<br />

t o w e a t h e r a n d<br />

earthquakes. They are<br />

also designed to be selfp<br />

o w e r i n g a n d n o t<br />

obstructive. The pillars<br />

that rise the tube above<br />

the ground have a small<br />

foot-print that can sway<br />

i n t h e c a s e o f a n<br />

earthquake. Each of the<br />

tube sections can move<br />

around flexibly of the<br />

train ships because there<br />

isn't a constant track that<br />

capsules rely on. <br />

And solar panels on the<br />

top the track supply<br />
