hyperloop

Tube pod transport

Hyperloop is a proposed transportation system in which passenger pods travel through low-pressure tubes at extremely high speeds, potentially exceeding 700 mph.

The concept, popularized by Elon Musk in 2013, envisions magnetic levitation and reduced air resistance enabling near-supersonic ground travel.

Despite significant investment and testing, no commercial hyperloop system has been built: The hyperloop could cut the trip from LA to San Francisco to under thirty minutes.
