HYPERLOOP

Traffic on freeways is getting more and more congested, while gasoline cost continues to skyrocket. Flying often takes up the majority of your travel time. Furthermore, all existing transportation methods are dependent on weather conditions, and the ever increasing cost of travel, in all of its current forms makes it virtually unaffordable for the majority of our population.

Elon Musk devised a super fast transport where you have a thirty-minute walk across the six hundred kilometers between San Francisco and Los Angeles. A distance that is a 42-minute flight. Whether you have a drive from seven to eight hours. The Hyper-Loop is an entirely new mode of transportation that eliminates all travel complications and objections due to cost, travel time and weather conditions. Completely self sufficient, solar panels placed along the track produce excess amounts of the energy that is actually required to run the system. The climate controlled capsule travels inside of a reinforced ‘tube’ pathway, rendering the Hyper-Loop weather independent and earth quake safe thanks to the use of pylons.The construction costs are much lower than any existing, and yet proposed railway projects. It utilizes existing infrastructure thanks to the use of these pylons and has reduced land acquisition costs as well. These reduced costs translate directly into cheaper ticket prices.

The company's believes that the project can be realized within 10 years. This is going to cost between seven and sixteen billion dollar. And than the hyperloop is still only between San Francisco and LA.
