Hyperloop bullet-train technology, technology move passengers at speeds near the speed of sound, is likely to come to the UK.
For those of you not familiar with this concept:
Hyperloop as a mode of transportation ( only in theory) should be able to put people at a speed of 1200 km / h. Recommended by billionaire Elon Musk in 2013, he asserted that Hyperloop can take passengers from LA to San Francisco, 610 km distance with 30 minutes, half the time on a plane.
The main train system would be long vacuum pipe connecting the two locations, which are placed on high to avoid catastrophic weather and natural disasters.
Passengers will sit on a single cocoon, or sat in groups. Boats will take them on a "rail" power is provided by magnets create a magnetic field.
The British government has expressed particular concern about the concept hyperloop, with the desire to connect the city in the his kingdom north and minimize travel time to London to just a few minutes.
the source said the ship such a system, companies Hyperloop one are discussing with the government agencies and has made public companies proposing to bring this technology to the UK.
Although hyperloop, "child" of Tesla and SpaceX head - Elon Musk is still just a theory on paper, the first test was successful trial with the technology push , allowing it to transport goods (or passengers) with a velocity of 1220 km / h.
it is expected that the first system will connect Manchester with Liverpool, with a travel time of 18 minutes takes.
the head Hyperloop One, Alan James said that this system will reduce the transit time in the north of England down a lot. He said: "Hyperloop can connect all the major cities of the UK, not only to London but also connect to each other. That means Liverpool, Manchester or Leads, all of which can be seen that it was just a big city. "
Another company is also running in this technology, the company also Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has been present in Brother. They are currently in talks with Innovate UK, a financial investment company belonging to the British government, in a range from $ 67 million for his project.
Innovate UK spokesman confirmed that they are calculated to take Hyperloop sentence, "All is still only in the early stages, but this is definitely an extremely useful technology, and we are monitoring it closely."
Although the discussions to conclude how, then this technology is still many years the way we grow again. Big projects like this certainly needs more investment around the country, before being applied in a certain country.
But the UK is not the only European country to the next transport technology this transfer.
last July, Hyperloop one gave details of a proposal linking Sweden and Finland. In particular, passengers traveling from Stockholm to Helsinki, 500 km distance with 28 minutes duration.
The other European regions also in the proposal plan, including connection of Slovakia Bratislava and Budapest with Vienna.
Early in today, scientists have studied and tested the magnet system used to provide power for hyperloop surfing.
being tried in the Nevada desert, the train reached the speed of 186 km / h. But there is still a long way to be able to get the speed 1200 km / h, in order to achieve the speed at which the system is still promising.
