Elon Musk commented last week on the SpaceX-sponsored Hyperloop competition for engineering students, hinting that building tunnels for the technology is one of the trickiest pieces of the puzzle.
The 2019 competition was conducted in a mile-long test tube, with teams trying to reach the...
Musk is planning to link Boring’s hyperloop project with his SpaceX company’s projects for a much more advanced transportation system.
Musk’s company has begun work on a tunnel between Washington DC and New York City while work on another tunnel between Los Angeles and San Francisco is set to...
Part 3 of the trip to the US for the #Tesla semi unveil event, where I visit SpaceX and look at the Hyperloop and Boring Company. This whole trip just felt like a tour of Elon's factories :-) Enjoy!
Hats. To write well can be existential. Scribes, if so gifted, possess an ability to visit other physical and or material worlds. Peruse varying mindsets. Often requiring, in a sense, becoming part of these persons or things for best comprehension. Interactively speaking. Learning tool? Sounds...
"The drive by media." Over past few years don't permit much of what I hear or read to make it within even filtering range of my mental processes. Often it's a regurgitating experience. We exist in times that news has become a question mark? A thing to be bought sold refurbished repackaged by its...
A Hyperloop One test pod reached a speed of 190 mph at the company’s vacuum tube test track. It was the first time the system had been tested with a pod – intended to carry people and cargo – not simply a sled.
The test was celebrated on the company’s blog, including a video of the test. The...
Creating buzz in the digiverse or an announcement, as it were, by Elon Musk that local officials have given a verbal nod to a Northeast corridor hyperloop. And if you're not up to speed on supersonic verbiage let me break it down for us everyday high speed commuters. If your day begins at least...
Elon Musk said today on Twitter that The Boring Company received “verbal government approval” to build a Hyperloop connecting New York with Washington DC. Musk said a trip between the two cities would take 29 minutes.
It’s not clear what government agency approved the project.
The...
Hyperloop One announced today it has completed the first full-scale test of its magnetic levitation technology. The company sent a pod 100 feet at 70 mph, pulling 2 Gs.
The event took place May 12 at the company’s test track in Nevada. The company’s co-founder Shervin Pishevar called the test...

Hyperloop One unveils 9 new potential European routes for high-speed travel
rather than driving the car onto a tray that is lowered into a tunnel, why not drive into a sealable (glazed?) pod and lower that into a tunnel entrance with airlocks to transfer into a reduced pressure tunnel. Not talking vacuum, but tunnels are very inefficient for air resistance so dropping...
Elon Musk’s vision for high-speed travel via Hyperloop is beginning to show some momentum. Hyperloop One, a company developing the technology, has unveiled 11 independent proposals to build Hyperloop routes throughout the U.S.
The routes were designed by teams competing in the Hyperloop One...

Hi,
Yesterday Dubai signed a contract with Hyperloop One and invested $50 million initially to study the feasibility of the project. Hyperloop One guys think the project would be ready by 2020 !
If you're further interested, can read my latest in-depth article on the project: Dubai Embraces...

Back two weeks ago, when Elon was talking to a crowd at West London's Sheperd's Bush Westfield (UK) shopping center at the newly opened TESLA store, he mentioned about Hyperloop information.
Specifically, he was meeting with a guy in two weeks (now, if literal) who might be the person he...
This seems like a natural fit for Tesla. They could become the primary manufacturer of the Hyperloop vehicle—not the whole system, just the vehicle itself—and perhaps some of the key external components. The rest of it could be built by contractors or governments, according to Tesla's...
There is a petition to the White House seeking federal funding for the Hyperloop. It was created August 12 and needs 100,000 signatures by September 11. I was #53 today. Here is the link to the petition...

Space X is private and doing very well, we assume, and it has money and can raise capital. It contains some of the brightest minds on the planet, we assume. Elon Musk is the CEO and has a brilliant track record of creative thinking and execution. Hyperloop is a game changer in mass...
I have been folllowing Tesla Motors since 2006 and am obsessed by the cars and this site, even though as a public sector professional in the UK, I will never probably be able to buy one:frown:
I am also interested in Maglev railway technology and have been following the attempts by UK...
