Could you imagine riding in a pod in a tube at 600 miles per hour? Virgin @HyperloopOne is trying to make that a reality. Here, in the barren desert 35 miles north of the #LasVegas Strip, Virgin’s 1,640-foot-long, 11-foot-high test tube has been used for hundreds of runs, with an empty pod that in one test accelerated to 240 mph. The company, which is based in Los Angeles, is one of several in the U.S., Canada and other countries developing #hyperloop technology. The concept was promoted by #ElonMusk, of electric-car and private-rocket renown, and then offered by one of his companies as open-source technology available to all. It works by propelling pods using magnetic levitation through a low-pressure, near-vacuum tube. The low pressure minimizes friction and air resistance, greatly reducing the power needed. Hyperloop developers expect pods to carry not only people but also high-value, low-weight cargo. @joebuglewicz recently visited Virgin’s test site in Moapa, Nevada and captured these photos.
