Billionaire will revolutionize personal transportation: – Something that never crashes … – Dagbladet.no

Have you seen bored mile long queues stressful flight and seemingly endless hours of annoying fellow passengers?

Then you can enjoy that Elon Musk’s “fifth conveyance system” – also called Hyper Loop – is a step closer to adopting Norwegian soil.

TRY out in California

system, which was presented by Paypal founder in 2013, based on long tubes where coaches pushed to near the speed of sound at using solar energy, vacuum forces and magnets.

– What you want is something that never crashes, which is at least twice as fast as airplanes, which are powered by solar and runs continuously, so you never must wait at the station, said Musk the time during an interview with Bloomberg.

Now his project tested. A full-scale version of Hyper Loop is scheduled to be built in California by the end of 2016, writes Business Insider. Musk hopes to get collected $ 100,000,000 through crowdfunding for further work on the project.

Dirk Alhorn, CEO of Hyper Loop Trasportation Technologies, told Business Insider that this is a step in the right direction.

– This installation allows us to demonstrate our system in a large scale, and that we can simultaneously start to earn money for our shareholders, he said.

Less ambitious pilot project

The model comes in temporarily to be far less ambitious than the original visions to Muskegon.

The approximate 8 km long transport lines will not be able to push the capsules of 322 km / h, which is far more modest than the staggering target of 1287 km / h.

Such speed would shortened a trip between Oslo and Trondheim to under half an hour.

Where several have expressed skepticism at whether such a system allows unrealisable, has Hyper Loop project has been well received by politicians.

London mayor Boris Johnson should have recently stated that Hyper Loop can also be relied on in British cities sometime in the future.
