Hyperloop Transportation
Humans have been developing faster, safer and more efficient means of transportation since industrailization. On Friday, I’ll be talking about the physics of two of the latest, as well as the fastest transportation modes: Maglev and Hyperloop. Now regarded as the future of transportation, their earliest designs run back to early 20th century, but it was not until along the technological development at the end of last century that people actually thought about building their first prototypes. Also, lots of design consideration are similar between Maglev and Hyperloop and successful implementaions of exisiting Maglevs help us to design a better Hyperloop system.
