hyperloop, genius of the concept behind the Tesla and SpaceX, can become reality with the 70 million financing that just ensure
Hyperloop One, a Los Angeles company that is developing a futuristic technology of public transport, announced Tuesday that secured financing of 80 million dollars (about 70 million euros ). The company now plans to carry out an all system testing before the end of the year.
A hyperloop will be a kind of futuristic transport to carry passengers and cargo capsule traveling at a low pressure pipe, at higher speeds to 1207 kilometers per hour. The use of magnetic levitation technology would allow the capsules to keep some distance from the tube where they travel, to reduce friction in the long-distance system, which is to be completely autonomous and electric.
Hyperloop One is from a design created by the CEO of car company Tesla high-tech and aerospace company SpaceX, Elon Musk. Musk suggested for several years that this system would be cheaper, faster and more efficient than the high-speed rail projects, including one that is currently being built in California. Now, the shareholder of Hyperloop One, BamBrogan Brogan, a former engineer at SpaceX, promises that the project will be “the most comfortable thing to ever walk … Safe for children, dogs and grandparents.”
on Tuesday, the eve of the first demonstration of propulsion to be used in the desert of Las Vegas, the company’s CEO Hyperloop One, Rob Lloyd, tried to discredit criticism that the technology has not been proven and is more suitable for science fiction which for practical purposes. “It is real, is happening now and we will demonstrate how this company will make it happen,” he said at a company conference. Rob Lloyd compared the technology hyperloop the principle of the rail system in the United States and the era of prosperity that this brought.
Lloyd also announced a competition to determine where the first Hyperloop One system could be implemented, waiting -if the result of the competition next year. Initial applications of this project could be made in ports, for example, to replace the trains and trucks transporting cargo from the ships to the factories and shops.
The paintings of Hyperloop One, formerly known as Hyperloop Technologies, They include investor in Uber and Airbnb Shervin Pishevar and former engineer at SpaceX, Brogan BamBrogan. Incidentally, on Twitter, the Hyperloop One wrote Wednesday that “for 16 months,” the company was “literally” in the garage BamBrogan.
