Hosted the first test of the vacuum transport system Hyperloop One
Source:
It Turns out that the tests took place may 12, but information about it has decided to publish only now, summing up all the results and studying the nuances. CEO shervin Pishevar encouraged by the results and noted that Hyperloop first One managed to test the transport system completely, because the competitors have so far experienced only individual components of their developments.
«During the test, — according to The Verge, — the chassis of the capsule within the test compartment of the pipe, where the previously created vacuum, achieved a speed of 112 kilometers per hour».
The company is moving to the next stage of tests, in which they plan to disperse the capsule is already up to 400 kilometers per hour. Ideally, the speed of the capsules should be three times higher, but up to the end of the test is still very far away. The more that they are held in a small practice, the construction of which was completed recently. Probably, when the test route will extend, and the capsule design developed, Hyperloop One will increase its speed of movement.
The Current prototype of the capsule, presented by the company, looks pretty cool and impressive, its length is 8.5 meters. Probably soon with it as part of testing, will start to carry loads and.
A Successful test are encouraging not only the developers of the Hyperloop One, but also to potential investors. Now the company management actively establishes contacts with public authorities worldwide, to after the completion of all tests as not to waste time for signing contracts and other paperwork, but instead immediately to begin construction.
