Hyperloop, an ultra-high-speed moving body of 1200 km / h, succeeds in the first outdoor driving test, and a real running movie is also released

Ultra high-speed moving object advocated by businessman Earlon Mask known as Tesla Motors and SpaceX "Hyperloop (hyper loop)"Is being developed as if it were divided into two camps and competing. One of themHyperloop One(Formerly known as Hyperloop Technologies) released traveling experiments of hyperloop prototypes in general. I succeeded in taking the first step.

Hyperloop One announced that "In May 2016, the driving test will be conducted in the desert in Nevada, USA, USA", and the experiment course was being developed.

The structure of hyperloop developed by Hyperloop One can be confirmed in the following movie.

At the center of the two rails, coils that generate magnetism are lining up.


Make the hyperloop experimental vehicle carrying the electromagnet cover over this magnetic coil ... ...


Accelerate, the content of the experiment run this time.


Eventually the full length of the experimental vehicle has been extended ... ...


A cylindrical body with a fan mounted in front will be installed.


Ultimately, I plan to run the inside of the reduced pressure tube at the explosion speed.


And on May 11, 2016, testing of Hyperloop One developed vehicles in the desert of Nevada province was conducted, and the appearance of actual running was released while gathering attention of many general people.

A desert area 35 miles north of Las Vegas in Nevada State (about 56 kilometers).


Propulsion test "POAT" outdoors not in the tube was done.


The test course looks something like this.


Reporters watching the test.


Many people gather at the special stage.


Countdown started.


The control center is also nervous.


A crowd watching over drinking breath.


At the same time as the count "zero", the test vehicle which ran vigorously.


We will accelerate as we see it.


The smoke has risen and the test is over.


The first actual running test is successful.


It was like this when I looked at the side of the test vehicle to blast.


CNN also explains the state of the test run.

Many reporters are watching ......


Test vehicle that runs with tremendous acceleration.


Stand up sand smoke. Since the electromagnetic brake is not installed in the test vehicle, it is decelerating by rushing into the sand.


The maximum speed of the test vehicle was 116 miles per hour (about 186 kilometers per hour) and the maximum gravitational acceleration was 2.5 G.


Succeeded to run through 1000 yards (about 910 meters) in 1.9 seconds.


It was said that a voltage of 7000 V was applied to the track.


This time it was an outdoor experiment, but next time I plan to run inside a 1.5 kilometer tube.


The driving speed is 400 mph (about 640 kilometers per hour), and it is aiming for a maximum of 700 mph (about 1130 kilometers per hour) at maximum, by reducing the pressure inside the tube and reducing the air resistance.


Hyperloop One is planning to operate with passengers onboard between 2019 and 2021.

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, which is developing a hyper loop separately from Hyperloop One,Induct truckSucceeded in acquiring an exclusive license of the magnetic levitation system, and aiming at practical use of hyper loop by another method.

"Hyper Loop Concept" running at 1,200 km / h goes a step forward, and that mechanism plays the role of arranging the magnets side by side in a special "Hullback Array" Ali - GIGAZINE
