The promise of hyperloop travel is that it will allow humans to cut down travel time dramatically by using magnetically levitating pods to propel people through near-vacuum tubes. These pods are designed to eventually hit speeds of around 745 mph, which would make it possible to … [Read more...] about Virgin Hyperloop completes first test run with passengers aboard

The world’s first hyperloop system could soon be built in India
As it stands now, it seems Virgin will build the world’s first large-scale hyperloop system in India. Earlier this month, the government of the Indian state of Maharashtra approved Virgin Hyperloop One’s plans to develop a high-speed line between Mumbai and Pune. The planned … [Read more...] about The world’s first hyperloop system could soon be built in India
Here’s what the hyperloop systems of the future might look like in urban areas
We've seen a lot of technical exploration around how a hyperloop system might one-day fling humans and goods across the Earth at the speed of sound inside low-vacuum tubes but not much about the structural elements that would hold everything in place. That’s why startup … [Read more...] about Here’s what the hyperloop systems of the future might look like in urban areas
New council to help hyperloop and self-driving car projects cut though red tape
While transportation projects such as hyper loops and self-driving cars could hold the key to more efficient means of transportation, bureaucratic structures can hinder progress and slow the development of these projects. For that reason, the Secretary of Transportation has … [Read more...] about New council to help hyperloop and self-driving car projects cut though red tape
This study proves why building a hyperloop in America’s heartland is a good idea
Building a hyperloop route from Kansas City to St. Louis would be well worth the effort, according to a new study. Researchers examined the engineering, viability and economic challenges of a proposed line running parallel to the I-70, and they found that it would not only cut … [Read more...] about This study proves why building a hyperloop in America’s heartland is a good idea
