Flying cars and jetpacks could still take time to become a reality, but Hyperloop seems all set to revolutionize the transportation industry. The freight sector could be the first beneficiary of this super speed technology.
It might sound like a scene straight from a sci-fi flick, but hyperloop could soon turn an eternal fantasy of us- human beings, of having command over time and speed, into a reality.
Apart from flying cars and jetpacks that we have fantasized becoming the future modes of transportation, Hyper loop has reached a stage, where it could turn itself from a hypothetical concept into a reality, hopefully, as experts believe, within a decade or so. Two companies- Hyper loop Transportation Technologies and Hyper loop One, are racing to make it real.
A brainchild of Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Hyper loop is a futuristic technological concept that would ensure high speed transportation of passengers and cargo in suspended capsules through miles-long near vacuum tubes. The capsule could achieve the speed of 700 miles, or 1,120 kilometers, an hour and would be powered by solar panels installed on the roof supplying it with a clean and self powering system.
Musks’ idea of this “fifth form of transportation”, has not only caught the fancy of travelers, but it has also become the latest buzzword in the freight sector. Futurists and major players in the sector see this technology provide rapid cargo transit networks in the future, connecting far-off cities, dodging the vehicular congestion on roads and thus improving efficiency. It would also contribute in reducing pollution, significantly in port adjacent areas.
