What is Hyperloop?
Hyperloop is a technology that was first proposed by entrepreneur Elon Musk in August of 2013. The proposition outlines specifications for a transport framework that utilizes vacuum tunneling to enable mass transport at speeds in excess of 760 miles per hour. This will enable trips such as LA to San Francisco in under half an hour.
Transport by Vacuum
Reduces the air resistance, enabling rapid acceleration
High Speeds
The original Hyperloop proposal calls for speeds of up to 700 mph
Evironmental
This technology will massively reduce American carbon footprint
