HYPER LOOP : A DAYDREAM OR FEASIBLE SOLUTION TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCE?
Hi folks,
Today I am gonna write about a new technology "Hyperloop",the technology is for traveling long distance within short time period,traveling at very high speed.
The technology's idea is put forward by Elon musk,the entrepreneur who owns several tech companies like PayPal,Tesla,Spacex.
The idea is to create a low pressure tube above or below the ground and build a vessel which operates on cushion of air,and is propelled by linear induction motor and air compressors.
As there is very low pressure is created inside the tube, it will result in low air resistance,there by giving more speed & efficiency.
From the announcement of this project Elon and the Spacex company is trying to make the idea open source so that technology can be easily developed into working model as soon as possible.
There are various groups formed by engineers and students which are continuously working on project.
Various models have been submitted by groups.
Working prototypes have been submitted and demonstrated.
As proposed at the launch the full fledged consumer capsule to cost around 6 to 7 billion dollars.
So wait 6 billions!!!! That's way more...!
That's why many people doubt the economic viability of the solution,even if it is made there may be a question of the profitability?
But Elon is believing that it could work,he told it can also work on mars for transportation as Mars's air density is low then earth and it offers low air resistance.
He is personally involved in making prototypes and funding it.
Lets see when will it be made public, but for now as far as the idea alone it seems pretty exciting.....!
That's all for now,folks!!!
