The Hyperloop One project could begin construction very soon in the United Arab Emirates, covering a distance of about 120 kilometers, which could be traveled in just over 10 minutes.
Hyperloop One consists of a series of capsules that are propelled by an electric motor through a steel tube filled with low-pressure air, which is mounted on prefabricated piles.
This futuristic transportation system enables the transport of passengers and cargo between points to maximum speeds of about 1,100 kilometers per hour.
The development of this transportation system would revolutionize existing transportation systems, as it can travel at very high speeds at truly competitive prices. In addition, the project aims to minimize its environmental impact and operate under the safest possible conditions.
This transportation system passed tests conducted in the Nevada Desert in the United States, accelerating from 0 to 190 kilometers per hour in just two seconds.
Hyperloop will be able to connect Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, in just 12 minutes, moving at speeds of about 800 kilometers per hour. If the project moves forward, it could be available by 2020. The stations in this transit system will be called Hyperportal.
