Hyperloop is a new form of transportation which is currently under development. In this transportation system, people can be seen travelling at 700 miles an hour in hovering pots under low-pressure tubes. Hyperloop does not work like traditional rail. There are big differences in both transportation system.

Pods which carry people and float in the air travel through tunnel and tubes. Any excessive air is removed from these tunnels to reduce friction. By removing air it allows pods to travel at the speed of 750 miles per hour. These pods do not work on the wheel like train instead they use the same idea of magnetic levitation or air hockey table.

It's been argued that this Hyperloop can be faster and cheaper than trains. They work on magnetic levitation hence they are pollution free. It can also be constructed in less time than rail. This Hyperloop can bring a major economic benefit.

Concept of Hyperloop is with us for so many years but it is under development since then. An innovation this big takes time to come in the real world. It is assumed that this will be available in 2021.

The idea of Hyperloop is off Elon Musk. He has always been obsessed with high speed. Musk proposed that Hyperloop can be cheaper, safer and undisturbing to the people who are living near it. Musk proposed the idea of Hyperloop between Loa Angeles and San Francisco. He said this link will be a lot cheaper than a traditional rail link. It will take people from Los Angeles to San Fransisco in just 30 minutes. It will be weatherproof and much more affordable.

Musk believes that 1500 km or 900 miles distance could be covered in Hyperloop but for distance beyond that airways is best. Travel passage for pods can be either above the ground or under the ground. To reduce friction most of the air should be removed from the tunnels.

The pod will get its initial velocity from an external electric motor. It will provide it with high subsonic velocity and will give it boost in every 70 miles. Each capsule would carry 80 passengers. In other versions, it has been assumed that with some more development they could carry 40 passengers with luggage.

Critics of hyperloop have suggested that it could be a very uncomfortable experience travelling in a tube. But other developer says that it will feel just like travelling in passenger plane or elevator.
