An interesting idea from Mr. Elon Musk...

‘Hyperloop’ would link LA-SF in 30 mins, if built

LOS ANGELES — Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk unveiled a transportation concept yesterday (Aug 12) that he said could whisk passengers the nearly 400 miles (645km) from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes — half the time it takes an airplane.

If it’s ever built.

His “Hyperloop” system for travel between major cities would use a large tube. Inside, capsules would float on air, travelling at over 700 mph (1,120 kmh). The air would be sucked by a powerful fan at the front and expelled at the rear.

The speed of sound at sea level is about 1,225kmh.
