Europe's Hyperloop Train
Europe's Hyperloop Train
By Luke Phillips
Recently in Switzerland a plan got put into motion to build a Hyperloop. The Hyperloop is a design created by Elon Musk for a high speed travel machine. While it will be a quite expensive project, the Hyperloop can travel at speeds of 560 miles per hour. This is comparable to the speed of a Boeing 747.
This Hyperloop works by using electromagnets to push the Hyperloop into a vacuum. This vacuum isn't totally void of air however. It has low air pressure inside of the tube that when the pod moves into it compresses. Normally when air compresses it slows the thing compressing it, but the pod has a fan on the front of it to let the compressed air into it. The air is then jettisoned through the bottom of the tube to keep it off the walls of the Hyperloop, reducing friction.
The Hyperloop could be the transportation of the future if proper funding were to be received for it. Not only is it fast and efficient travel, it also is self sufficient. The Hyperloop is to be made out of Natural Disaster proof materials so it can continue operation in even the toughest conditions.
