Elon Musk's Hyperloop Concept

Hyperloop technology and development could revolutionize transit around the globe. This is where it stands right now, and who is working on it.

Musk initially made some huge claims

[{ "selector": ".jlddp-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Tesla made their hyperloop research "open-source"

[{ "selector": ".bczwr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Several competing companies are working on the project

[{ "selector": ".pnqaf-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

It's a highly efficient transport solution

[{ "selector": ".eqaej-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Parts of the technology were patented over a century ago

[{ "selector": ".jmlfi-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

A low-pressure tube takes speeds to the next level

[{ "selector": ".gkgdl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Other limits come with partial vacuums

[{ "selector": ".tqoeq-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Musk's tunneling company could play a huge part

[{ "selector": ".dicwp-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

A hyperloop journey with passengers has already happened, and Musk wasn't the billionaire behind it

[{ "selector": ".cfcnz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Regulation will impact the Hyperloop

[{ "selector": ".gqdjn-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]
