Introduction
A Hyperloop would be "an elevated, reduced-pressure tube that contains pressurized capsules driven within the tube
by a number of linear electric motors.”
1
History
A high-level alpha design for the system was published on August 12, 2013.

CONVENTIONAL MODES OFTRANSPORTATION:
3
Hyperloop consists of a low pressure tube with capsules that are transportedat both low and high speeds throughout the length of
thetube.

2. TUBE
The tube is made of steel. Two tubes will be welded together in a side by side configuration to allow the capsules to
travel both directions.

3. PROPULSION
Linear accelerators are constructed along the length of the tube at various locations to accelerate the capsules.

Advantages:
ii. Environmentally friendly (rail/road via electric cars) Sustainable (uses solar energy)

Limitations
A number of economists and transportation experts have expressed the belief that the US$6 billion price tag
dramatically understates the cost of designing, developing, constructing and testing an all-new form of transportation.
