The first test Hyperloop showed that this type of futuristic transport apparently is capable of reaching a thousand 100 km / h.
Hyperloop Technologies, now renamed Hyperloop One to avoid confusion with its competitor, he began Tuesday experimental tests with the first prototypes based on the idea of rapid transport.
it was achieved for the first time successfully test its propulsion method, under a realistic environment. However, vacuum tubes that allow speeds greater than 700 miles per hour mythical not shown.

Tip: The prototype the size of a car reached 160 kilometers per hour. The company has promised that by the end of 2016 will test scale and actual speed tube two kilometers long, with a budget of 80 million dollars.
the CEO of Hyperloop One, Rob Lloyd said that by 2019 will transport cargo” and we believe we will be able to transport passengers safely in 2021 (…) today we are one step closer to the Hyperloop become reality. ”
Lloyd said the acceleration would experience its occupants would not be higher than an airplane. The rest of the trip, however, would be much smoother and with reduced power consumption.
Transport of the future
It is called Hyperloop and is a supersonic train that displace inside a tube at speeds almost exceed the sound barrier: up to 223 thousand kilometers per hour.
However, transport experts believe that now is a little interesting, to its great economic impact and little interest by the public system for long distances the plane is still better option for short , trains are still more reliable.
