Elon Musk envisions the future of transportation to be with hyperloop, or tubes on magnetic rails which, by theory, allows traveling faster than the speed of sound. Through his visitor SpaceX, a competition was held this year to find the team to develop the hyperloop transport technology.

Now, the winning Dutch team from the Technical University of Delft (TU Delft) is setting up a full-scale testing part-way for the systems. Early in 2017, it write-up teams from MIT and the Technical University of Munich in the spherical diamond and construction award.

Hardt Global Mobility, the visitor put up to commercialize the Dutch team’s technology, said through its co-founder Tim Houter, “People were dreaming once of transporting humans and cargo [in hyperloops] from the 1860s, so the concept is not that new.

“But when Elon Musk proposed it as a transportation system between San Francisco and Los Angeles it got a huge boost.”

The minutiae of the technology made a unconfined jump in May as Hardt prepares the 30-meter tube they made to fit it with rails and the shuttle it has designed in the testing center. Houter said superiority of the pilot test that in the facility, the team will trammels all systems that don’t require upper speeds.

“So think well-nigh the levitation system, but moreover the propulsion system, but really important, all the safety systems will be tested in this low-speed but full-scale testing facility.

“We’re going to test all systems that you need to test surpassing you can unquestionably start towers a route between two cities so: top speed, taking corners, switching lanes, making it as unscratched as possible,” he added.

Several institutions including TU Delft, the Dutch national railway NS, and the construction visitor BAM invested in the preparation and testing of the tube which got a total of increasingly than US$670,000. Hardt is looking for increasingly investors to push through its plans of towers a high-speed test line by 2019.

The visitor is looking forward to unravel ground on a commercial hyperloop between Amsterdam and Paris by 2021.
