"Capsule" super high-speed rail design
Eron Musk, the founder and chief executive of Tesla, the US electric car company, published a blog post on Monday, revealing the initial design of Hyperloop, a capsule high-speed rail project. According to Musk’s design, the Hyperloop Transportation Concept System is a solar-powered urban-to-urban elevated transportation system that can transport passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes while the fare is only US$20.
6 hours drive can be reduced to half an hour
According to Musk, the entire Hyperloop will be built along Interstate 5 and Interstate 580. Once completed, each aluminum and soya-type cabin will carry 28 passengers, each carrying up to two passengers. Carry-on baggage. The system's maximum operating speed is 760 miles per hour (equivalent to 1,223 kilometers per hour). Passengers will feel “capsules†like they would when they were in a plane. It takes only 30 minutes to reach San Francisco from Los Angeles. This trip takes 6 hours to drive.
Musk said that the Hyperloop transport system was inspired by the high-speed rail project costing US$68 billion in California, and the project’s idea of ​​a “bullet bullet train†shattered after a series of setbacks. Musk said that the cost of constructing the Hyperloop transportation system is only about one-tenth the cost of the "bullet bullet train." If only people are transported, the construction cost is about 6 billion US dollars and the speed is 6 times faster than that. If you want to transport people again, In another train, the cost may rise to 10 billion U.S. dollars. It will take 10 years to complete the entire system.
Known as "Silicon Valley Madman," Musk first proposed the concept of Hyperloop in July last year. The idea is to use "capsules" instead of trains as a means of transport, placing "capsules" in pipelines and then launching them like shells. Send it to your destination. In addition, the entire system will be powered by solar collector plates. At the time, he called the system: "The fifth largest form of modern transportation after planes, trains, ships and cars."
As for the safety performance of the Hyperloop, Musk said: “There is an emergency brake. Generally speaking, the distance between the cabins is 5 miles. From Los Angeles to San Francisco, 70 cabins can be installed and every 30 seconds. Just like Disney’s space. The same as the speed."
The passenger experience will be pleasant. Musk said: "It's lateral acceleration is smaller than the subway, because the cabin is embedded in the pipe like an airplane. Unlike an aircraft, it is not affected by the air flow, there is no sudden movement, and it runs smoothly and quietly."
Musk also said that the super high-speed rail is suitable for connecting cities with a population of less than 900 miles.
Last week decided to temporarily give up the project
Since Musk put forward the concept of “super high-speed railway†last year, the whole world is full of curiosity and anticipation for this project, but when Tesla announced its financial report last week, Musk suddenly said that he currently has no time and will to implement it. Hyperloop plans, but will still publish the initial design draft of the plan for public improvement. Musk stated that he would not own the patent for this design proposal and anyone could modify the plan. Musk said: "I think the Hyperloop plan was originally lifted from the rock to his feet, because the project was too attractive to me. Obviously, I still need to devote my energy to X space and Tesla's core business. These jobs are enough for me."
Musk also said: "There are currently no executable plans. But if the project is not going well, I may still be involved. If there is still no movement after a few years, then maybe Tesla can make Hyperloop. Plans are possible, but in any case, everything is just an idea."
Born in 1971, Musk was seen by many as a realistic version of Iron Man. He founded PayPal, XSpace Private Rockets and Tesla Electric Vehicles.
