The futuristic proposal Hyperloop is gradually taking shape. This Wednesday, the company organized an event in Las Vegas where he successfully completed its first test of the transport system that is developing.
In this public demonstration, the prototype reached a speed of 185 km / h in just two seconds. A remarkable brand but well away from over 1000 km / h that Hyperloop want to achieve. Although the gap between the current speed of the prototype of what is to be achieved, it must be emphasized that this test was conducted with the use of rail, an element that is not part of the final transport.
the concept devised by Elon Musk provides that “chariots” are placed in vacuum tunnels, supported by a magnetic levitation system. The train size, this first test is also far from normal dimensions.
In this presentation, BamBrogan Brogan, the chief director of Hyperloop technology, rested gifts of the dangers of this transport system. With the right adjustments, traveling at this speed will be safe thanks to the monitoring technology that is being developed, said CTO.
This was the first of a series of tests that will take place this year. By 2020, the system should make your first line in Europe, more specifically in Slovakia.
