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 />
