The Hyperloop Concept

As we know, there are four modes of transport Roadways, Railways, Airways and Waterways. But the fifth mode of transport is coming in future. It is known as the Hyperloop concept. It will be the fastest mean of transport ever known. It can run with the speed of 1200 KMPH.

The concept of Hyperloop was first proposed by Robert Goddard in 1904. But due to lack of Communication and Money, it could not get importance in government vision. After a Century, the founder of company Tesla and SpaceX, Mr. Elon Musk first publicly mentioned Hyperloop in 2012. As reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurised capsules ride on air bearing driven by linear motors and axial compressors.

The Principle of Hyperloop is Magnetic Repulsion. As we all know, like poles repels each other and opposite poles attract each other. Hyperloop is large metal tunnel charged with North or South and a pod having same charge is sealed inside the tunnel. Because of having same charge the pod fly in the air. After putting the pod inside the sealed tunnel there are several vaccum pumps which ejects the 90% of the air outside the tunnel and creates vaccum. And the linear motor makes a motion. Because of zero friction and air drag the pod gets the speed of 1200 KMPH.
