The Hyperloop: “The Dawn of a New Era in Transportation”
Background:
Technology has been around for thousands of years, from simple wooden tools to fully designed mechanisms. We are not perfect and never will be, yet humanity still endeavors to fabricate new, ingenious ideas to aid citizens. We have developed each aspect of Life, Technology, Science, Mathematics, etc. However, as the Modern days progress, Humans and every other aspect of Life, as we know it, have become reliant on Technology than ever before. The Hyperloop is one of the discoveries that will majorly impact and influence our day-to-day lives. It’s another form of transportation that is supposed to run at top speed of up to 800 mph. That’s almost 4 times as fast as a passenger …show more content…
In 2013, he had pitched his idea to the World on his plan and it involved an exorbitant amount of money to be able to invest in this project. A whopping 7.5 Billion Dollars! Despite the cost, Elon Musk and many other inventors/entrepreneurs want to make this idea a reality. Thus, a company was created by the Virgin Group to help develop and test this vision. Hyperloop One, a company already in the stages of designing a futuristic, stable method of an efficient way of traveling. The company strives to revolutionize the “Commercial Train” to more efficiently transport busy commuters all around the world. They plan to go beyond everyone else’s expectations to prove that this dream is a possible …show more content…
To reduce all the Friction that would be present would be one of the hardest parts of making this Hyperloop successful. To battle this, Mr. Musk was confident about using a form of charged particles, known as magnets, and electricity to help levitate this everlasting train. It’s as simple as small magnets everyone has at home; Similar sides of the magnets (++ or --) would create a force that repels the magnets. With positive magnets along the inside and a Pod with a negative magnet would inevitably sustain the Pod in mid-air. Moving on to Drag, it is caused by the shape or surface area of an object. The more surface area exposed to the air, the more drag will be created causing the Pod to move slower. Therefore, groups of scientists and researchers would have to be able to create a sleek design that is able to substantially reduce the amount of
