The future of transport is about to be revolutionalized with the Hyperloop System

A Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and/or freight transportation, first used to describe an open-source vactrain design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX. Drawing heavily from Robert Goddard's vactrain, a hyperloop is a sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod may travel free of air resistance or friction conveying people or objects at high speed while being very efficient.

Elon Musk's version of the concept, first publicly mentioned in 2012, incorporates reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on air bearings driven by linear induction motors and axial compressors.

The Hyperloop concept has been explicitly "open-sourced" by Musk and SpaceX, and others have been encouraged to take the ideas and further develop them. Companies like Virgin one has set up numerous research teams and pumped huge money into the hyperloop project to make it successful.

Below is a video which fully explains the hyperloop concept




With massive research and support been geared to ensure the hyperloop system comes to fruition in the Developed counties, what is Africa doing about our own transportation woes, what are we doing about ways to reduce the travel time from Abuja to Cape town , or Cairo to Pretoria, or possibly evading long travels among African cities? 

The world of science is making massive strides and i hope Africa can play our part in our own small way. Thanks
