A hyperloop is a proposed high-speed transportation system for both public and goods transport.[1] The term was popularized by Elon Musk to describe a modern project based on the vactrain concept (first appearance 1799).[2] Hyperloop designs employ three essential components: tubes, pods, and terminals.[1] The tube is a large sealed, low-pressure system (usually a long tunnel). The pod is a coach pressurized at atmospheric pressure that runs substantially free of air resistance or friction inside this tube,[3] using magnetic propulsion (in some cases augmented by a ducted fan). The terminal handles pod arrivals and departures.[1] The Hyperloop, in the initial form proposed by Musk, differs from vactrains by relying on residual air pressure inside the tube to provide lift by aerofoils and propulsion by fans.[4]
The Hyperloop is a conceptual high-speed transportation system put forward by entrepreneur Elon Musk, incorporating reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction motors and air compressors.
The more people we can attract to science and technology - men, women, everybody - the more economic opportunity we have as a nation.
