Hate
commuting? Imagine, instead, your train carriage hurtling down a tunnel
at the same speed as a commercial jet airliner. That’s the dream of
PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk. His Hyperloop
system would see ‘train’ passengers travel at up to 760mph through a
vacuum tube, propelled by compressed air and induction motors. A site
has been chosen with the goal of starting test runs in two years. Once
built, the loop will ferry passengers between San Francisco and LA in 35
minutes, compared to 7.5 hours by train.
