At the same time, SpaceX is kicking off a pod design-build competition, all open-sourced, and open to anyone who fills out a form on SpaceX's new Hyperloop web site. The deadline to apply for the ...

The announcement is the most concrete yet from any group working on a Hyperloop design. But building a brand-new transportation system is difficult, and if California's High Speed Rail project ...

In August 2013, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk published a white paper detailing a "Hyperloop," a super-fast passenger train that would overcome the usual friction by levitating above its track on ...

"The Hyperloop design uses a combination of low air pressure and magnetic acceleration to get people from LA to SF in just about 30 minutes," the report says. It would produce its own electricity ...

Student engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology are flying-high after taking first place in a competition to design a "pod in the sky" for the Hyperloop, a futuristic transit system ...

The design work that's been done for the Hyperloop presents it as a contained tube, meaning it could stay underwater. Diamandis said that having the Hyperloop travel underwater would prevent ...

It’s no wonder that, along with Hyperloop One’s own efforts to design the perfect pod for Hyperloop, there are teams around the world competing for SpaceX’s support. “Elon’s project is ...
