Hyperloop is an ultra-high-speed ground transportation system for passenger and cargo proposed as a concept by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, in a white paper back in 2013.
The system consists of sealed and partially evacuated tubes, connecting mobility hubs in large metropolitan areas, and pressurized vehicles, usually called pods, which can move at very high speeds, thanks to contactless levitation and propulsion systems as well as to the low aerodynamic drag. With this system the door-to-door travel time on medium-range distances can be considerably reduced compared to current connections.
Moreover, with fully-electric operations the system ia also climate-neutral.
Hyperloop is cheaper and faster than train or car travel, and cheaper and less polluting than air travel. It is also quicker and cheaper to build than traditional high-speed rail. Hyperloop could therefore be used to take the pressure off gridlocked roads, making travel between cities easier, and potentially unlocking major economic benefits as a result.
➨The technology offers very fast speed of transportation which is twice that of aircraft.
➨It has very low power consumption.
➨It is low cost transportation system on long run.
➨It is immune to bad weather conditions.
➨It is resistant to earthquakes.
➨It is a safe mode of transportation system.
HGT plan to roll out Hyperloop throughout the continent of Africa.
