Hyperloop One "makes history

The futuristic Hyperloop One train project has taken another step forward by taking off above the rails for a few seconds. The next step is to improve its top speed.

"We made history two minutes after midnight on the night of 12 May", say Hyperloop One's directors.

We made history two minutes after midnight on the night of 12 May "The statement sent by those responsible for the project Hyperloop One is not exactly half-hearted or humble. The reason for this enthusiasm: a test carried out in the Nevada desert, during which the system managed to rise above the rails for five seconds. This could be a worrying phenomenon for a traditional train. But this was the desired effect, as the project relaunched by Elon Musk relies on magnetic levitation to blithely exceed 1,000 km/h. For the time being, it's a more modest speed that Hyperloop One has been flashed at (112 km/h), or at least the system propelled during this test. Indeed, those with a grudge will note a certain disproportion between the words and the images published by Hyperloop One.

In the early hours of 12 May, a few dozen engineers and managers from Hyperloop One crammed into a makeshift checkpoint under the stars in the Nevada desert to watch the history of rail transport being written before their eyes.explain the people in charge of the project in a lyrical statement. Since the company was founded three years ago, we have always been focused on this moment, the moment when we achieve controlled propulsion and levitation of a Hyperloop One vehicle in a vacuum environment. ". The directors of Hyperloop One are now looking ahead to the next test, which should see this train of the future multiply its speed by four. Stay tuned.
