A BLAST FROM THE PAST

HYPERLOOP COMPETITIONS

What is Hyperloop?

Hyperloop is a concept transit system aiming to deliver fast, efficient ground transportation by eliminating air resistance. An underground tunnel network consisting of pressurized vacuum tubes allows pods to friction-less accelerate to speeds comparable to an airplane.

Why is it beneficial?

The speed of a Hyperloop pod rivals that of passenger airliners. A trip from San Fransisco to Las Angeles could take as little as 30 minutes.

High-Performance

The pod glides through the tube due to the total lack of air resistance, making it extremely energy efficient. Hyperloop travel would add negligible carbon emissions to the atmosphere when compared to other forms of transit.

Sustainable

With a pod departing from a station every two minutes, Hyperloop would make the frustrating experience of waiting for a late bus or train a thing of the past.
