DBA: Hyperloop Research



Hyperloop Research:
I decided to go away and do some initial research on Hyperloop to really understand what it's about.

  1. One Trip Between L.A. And San Francisco Would Take 30 Minutes - Speaking with Business Week, Musk revealed his vision. The train would be able to take passengers up and down the coast in 30 mins. Cars can be carried on into vehicle which would ultimately be a solar-powered elevated transit system. Traveling at 800 mph speeds, the track would be supported by columns stretching 50 to 100 yards apart.
  2. The Hyperloop Train Cars Would Be Dense Aluminum Pods - The train would be comprised of durable aluminum pods that would contain skis with a durable SpaceX alloy called Inconel. The acceleration speeds were a concern but the element encased in this element to handle high pressure and heat.
  3. Musk Hopes This Is A Low Cost Alternative To Another Politically Motivated Project




4. Emergency Brake Will Prevent Possibility of Accidents - Of course, the high speed rates probably raised some concerns which is the train will have a durable emergency brake installed. The creator emphasized that pods would be spaced about 5 miles apart with a total of 70 pods leaving every 30 seconds. Factoring more safety concerns, the train’s columns are durable enough to withstand the weather. The trains would remain on the track supported securely.

5. It Could Travel Close to the Speed of Sound -  with Elon’s new super train, you’d cruise along at 760 mph, making the trip would take you only half an hour.
