such high speeds. nowadays fighter jet pilots. can travel at speeds of up to three thousand kilometers per hour they train hard to handle the stress on their body and wear protective gear. the problem is not the high speed or such about the exhilaration and deceleration phases takeoff and landing but a major stress on the body. the hyperloop doesn t ascend and descend it again speed at an even pace and maintains that speed. for passengers it would probably feel much like a commercial airplane but it would certainly take some getting used to particularly because of the vacuum tube. i mean there was there is always some element of danger but that s all already the case with airplanes they aren t in a vacuum they also deal with low air pressure that we just have to try it s and
western germany in the mid one nine hundred eighty s. the transfer of p. didn t glide through a vacuum tube but it did use magnets for propulsion the maglev train had a top speed of four hundred twelve kilometers per hour faster than modern intercity express trains in your. concept of the twenty second two thousand and six in the middle of its test route the transfer repeat collided with a maintenance fare call that was mistakenly on the track twenty three people were killed and ten were injured. today the former test track lies in ruins after the accident the german trans repeat could no longer find an investor. however the system went into operation elsewhere in shanghai
los angeles the city of dreams is the birthplace of a vision that could revolutionize our speed of travel. the hyperloop. a train that races through a vacuum tube. the idea came from billionaire ilan musk. and his fortune from online businesses today he makes electric cars and is designing a rocket for interplanetary travel. but he doesn t want to design the hyperloop himself. instead he decided to organize a competition for students from all over the world. so what this is really going to do is. give a show interest more technology to get people excited about your false interest or . things that maybe a bit of what we received. a team from munich are
reporter: musk says he kept wondering where are the hotels on marspromised in the movie 2001 space odyssey. i think mars would have good bars. the mars bar. reporter: he has his own vision on mars. populated and governed by entrepreneurs and people with a frontier mentality. while lit be exciting, it will be foor frar from easy. for the early people that go it will be difficult, dangerous, good chance you ll die. reporter: here on earth, he s developing a hyper loop, an underground vacuum tube that might be able to transport people and cars from new york to d.c. or l.a. to san francisco in less than an hour. he has strong ideas about how it would work. in a series of tweets he writes the hyper loop will prioritize
explain hierp loop. it is like a vacuum tube for humans? it will be driven by electric and solar. there will be tubes if you will. you will have ford inside of a capsule and it will move very quickly like a bullet train through a program that gives you accelerated speed quite frankly they deliver. the price tag is not mauler. you are talking 6 to $8 billion. the california san francisco los angeles train is already up to 100 billion. that is correct. with hyper loop he is testing the water. let s see what he does. people once assumed only government could or would have
