SpaceX announces a new mode of transport - Hyperloop
American billionaire and CEO of Space Exploration Technologies Elon Musk says his company intends to show on August 12, a new development - Hyperloop ("Hyper-loop"). What is it itself will represent Hyperloop yet difficult to understand, but a tweet Mask says that it is "super-futuristic little bit crazy" method of travel. At SpaceX say Hyperloop will develop itself SpaceX, but with the broad participation of ordinary Internet users. Musk compares Hyperloop with the development of open source software.
In the tweet, he wrote that he hoped the community support that will send their comments and observations on Hyperloop. He also wrote that neither he nor SpaceX will not be patentable Hyperloop and will develop this method of moving a fully open with all available specifications. At SpaceX is also not yet say exactly Hyperloop will consist of a, but notice that this type of transport is mediated relation to space and is more focused on peremeschaniya on the ground or close to it.
Thus, the future users will be able to Hyperloop just 30 minutes to cover the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco (about 700 km). At the same time, Hyperloop - this means an individual movement, that is, it is not a futuristic train or bus, which go on schedule. Hyperloop will work in the "on demand." Musk says that the new system will be protected from accidents, and in addition it will not depend on the weather (ie it is either underground or fully enclosed with a structural point of view of technology). But here at SpaceX add intrigue, stating that there would be no Hyperloop of vacuum tube or tunnel. Some suggestions on how Hyperloop might be available at
