We have got electric cars, smaller cars, and cars with a better gas mileage. What we haven’t seen yet is some kind of technological evolution with transportation. While, a lot of ‘technological’ fixes have been given little to some amount of attention, not all of them have gained repute for ushering in green revolution. Every day, engineers are taking a different route, designing more environmentally sustainable modes of transportation that may overturn long-held notions greener, efficient traveling. This year, we have some of the most radical modes of transportation, some of which may even take decades for their full implementation. Of course, they aren’t all flying saucers, but rather much exciting concepts that will encourage the transportation industry to reduce emissions we produce today.
THE HYPERLOOP
The future of green travel lies in today’s cutting-edge and futuristic innovation, or perhaps, the Hyperloop. An idea conceptualized by Elon Musk, the man behind PayPal, Tesla Motors, and SpaceX, has generated a lot of excitement and also skepticism.
Hyperloop is an elevated tube through which capsules or pods travel. Three years ago, Musk released the Alpha design for the Hyperloop, extending from Los Angeles to San Francisco with the capacity to transport passengers between the two cities in only 35 minutes, at an average speed of over 600 miles per hour.
Engineers have long tried to overcome the barriers to high-speed transportation, which are: air resistance and friction. Many efforts in the past, have been largely unsuccessful. While many have become successful by using magnetically levitating trains. Musk’s passenger capsules, however, are slightly different. Each of these pods will travel through the steel tube, floating in one millimeter of air that is forced through the openings on the bottom of the capsule. The steel tube will be partial vacuum, which will ultimately help in overcoming air resistance. The steel tube will be equipped with linear induction motors, dictating the acceleration and deceleration of each pod. The pods will be equipped with an inlet fan and air compressor on the front. The Hyperloop will be powered by solar panels and will be completely emissions-free.

Most Exciting Hardware Startups In London
Technology is all about innovation. In order to create a technological innovation, it is essential to come up with a new idea with adequate scientific reasoning to back it up. However brilliant your idea might be, it will be useless if it can’t be implemented well with basic scientific understanding. On the other hand, even if an individual has great scientific skill, he cannot put it to use as long as he doesn’t have a good idea to support it. A combination of these two factors with proper implementation by a team of experts in the field results in a productive outcome. These hardware startups in the city of London have excelled in putting together all these skills and redefining innovation in terms of technology.
