Hyperloop Travel Reaches Milestone In Nevada Desert Trial Test

Pod-based hyper-speed travel reached a new milestone this week
after the completion of the first full-scale test of Elon Musk’s
envisioned Hyperloop in the desert of Nevada. The 500-meter tube
allowed a dedicated team to transport a levitated pod at high
speeds in vacuum conditions. The magnetic levitation used to
suspend the pods in mid-air is of the same variety employed in
high-speed trains in Japan. “The XP-1 performed as designed,
handling high speeds and levitating in a vacuum tube depressurised
to the equivalent of flying at 200,000…
