Never heard of it? No surprise. This revolutionary transportation method hasn't hit the streets yet, but when it does the concept of a plane being the fastest transportation method will be left in the dust! What exactly is the Hyperloop one? It is a train like vessel that speeds its passengers from one location to another faster than a plane! This was accomplished by creating a semi vacuum within a tub and adding magnetic levitating to the vessel to minimize friction and increase speed through the propulsion system. In recent months Hyperloop announced its pods to carry cargo and passengers. Plans show the pods being 28 foot made out of aluminum and carbon fiber. In May during the first successful full scale test of a hyperloop managed to reach speeds of 70mph in just over five seconds! Showing only a fraction of the 700mph estimated the pods will go once the system is up and running. Hyperloop One is planning an aggressive strategy to have 3 production systems up and running by 2021! For more information visit Hyperloop One's website at https://hyperloop-one.com/ .
