RV_ Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hyperloop, under one of Tesla's ex engineers who left Telsa to do the Hyperloop, just made its first test of the magnetic propulsion system. This article has two videos for those who have the bandwidth. The first video is real world video of the actual test out in the desert. The second is an animation that shows exactly how the propulsion system works. This is new stuff. The videos don't auto play so those limited in bandwidth can read it here too: http://www.zdnet.com/article/watch-hyperloop-ones-first-propulsion-test-sled-hit-100mph-in-nevada-desert/?tag=nl.e539&s_cid=e539&ttag=e539&ftag=TRE17cfd61 Exciting times!

RV_ Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Good question Jim, but since I believe the first will be a San Francisco to LA run that will have to be addressed. I don't know if my newly acquired from MRIs claustrophobia would kick in. Also if there was a power outage or break, will there be walkways or exits that can be accessed to get out. It doesn't look like it. So we will have to wait and see.
