5th MODE OF TRANSPORT -PRINCIPLE OF HYPERLOOP

we know basically 4 modes of transportation viz.. road , rail , waterways and air....but here is some astonishing thing that pierced the brain of Sir Elon Musk that why should we have 5th and the fastest mode of transportation? this rouse the idea of HYPERLOOP . Here is that intresting excerpt ........
Sir Elon Musk
CONCEPT OF HYPERLOOP”
A Hyperloop is a theatrical mode of transportation designed by Sir Elon Musk .His basic idea was to create a fifth mode of transportation (airways, boats, trains, automobiles are the four modes).This idea could bring a revolution in the field of transportation .But of course implementing this idea
would cost about 6 billion US$   The main theme of this concept is provide super-fast and super-efficient transportation in efficient time between two stations.

Let us see the understand the principle behind this concept.



Actually this Hyperloop is said as the extension of Vactrain concept. The main base idea for implementing this concept is to control the air resistance and friction. Actually air resistance and friction are the two major components for a transport to succeed.
So to gain control over these Vactrain concept has been introduced.But implementing this concept in real world is impossible. So a new theory based upon the Vactrain concept has been introduced by Sir Elon Musk. He made changes to apply this concept in the real world applications.
So he kept this concept as an OPEN SOURCE PROJECT. This project is the first open source project in the field of transportation.



If this Hyperloop concept has been implemented into practice it would bring a whole new revolution in the field of transport. so this is the ideology has been open sourced.
