Assuming it takes as much distance to stop the pod as to accelerate it to 192mph, that gives it roughly 716 feet to reach that top speed, and then decelerate. in other words, this pod feats a 0-192mph in as little as 3 seconds. That's pretty impressive if you ask me (acceleration of about 28m/s² and a force of 2.92G!). Yet the "Do-Dodonpa" roller-coaster in Fujiyoshida, Japan beats it by a small margin (32.1m/s² or a force of 3.27G) with a staggering 0-111.9mph in 1.8 seconds. For comparison, jet pilots start to black out at 4G in 6-7 seconds, and get into G-LOC (Loss of Consciousness) at 5G in roughly 5 seconds. Needless to say riding the Hyperloop will be close to the best roller coaster experience ever! Can't wait... :p
Not necessarily its all down to how the magnetics are used. I'd imagine the passenger pods will accelerate much slower but for the test they wanted to show off a fast speed and in a 1000 metre track distance so to do that they had to ramp up acceleration which for a maglev and in a near vacuum is easy. Its impressive to say the least but purely for show and necessity due to test track limitations. Next phase will be to build a proper test loop to have a longer test i'd say.
The company has never address the concerns of anyone who understands the maths and can show they are lying every time they are making performance claims.
It will never be a mass transport system. A few will be built but they will just be show pieces, like Concord it will never replace the existing systems. Imagine the cost of it compared to a high speed rail track. A tube strong enough to contain a vacuum 100s of miles long, air pumps constantly working, because it could never be completely airtight, elaborate safety, rescue and evacuation systems and the manpower and transport to get to suffocating passengers if there was a breakdown. The new terminals with airlocks to get passengers in and out of the pods. Pods which hold say 40 passengers, as opposed to trains which hold hundreds. It''l never catch on!!
Actually this Hyperloop is very useful on planets like moon or Mars because you need enclosers and also transporting yourself to each enclosed colonies.
In a tube, how many pods could travel at one time? How far apart would they have to be? If you have 50 people in a pod, and there is capacity for 10 pods, that means there are 500 people moving at any given moment. That would be good for high density routes.
Henk Spierings they promising to go from San Francisco to LA in 30 mins. that means if you have 10 pods on the same tract would put them 3 mins apart going at 700 mph each. would u want that?
Does it levitate? If so, what if I chose to start jumping inside, will it hit the rails then bounce up and down and create a catastrophic crash scenario? Or, will you have to be inside it with belts that don't allow you to move, like you're some mental patient? I don't know, I am still waiting to see this working as a real transportation system.
kuba2ve : it will compensated in the magnetic drag and leads to slightly reducing its velocity, depends of how much the force ratio to the total pod weight
Good question! This is a common misconception about Hyperloops. They operate at low pressure not vacuum. There is some sound as long as there are enough particles there. I don't know what pressure they're operating at on the Hyperloop One, but on the original Hyperloop white paper it states that the expected pressure of the tube would be about 0.015 PSI (for reference, average atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSI). Also, and this is just a hypothesis on my part, the fact that the cameras are mounted physically onto the tube or the vehicle might also contribute to the microphone recording those vibrations as sound as well (I'd be curious to hear what someone with more knowledge of this might say). Regarding air though, another reason it needs some air in the tube is that after it is "launched" with the electromagnetic "rail gun" system the vehicle is then kept afloat in the tube by an onboard air cushion system (kind of like the way an air hockey table keeps the puck afloat). This makes it so that only the beginning of the tube needs power as well as some small sections along the way to keep it at speed.
The original white paper proposed an air-suspension system - with a turbine on the front of the train sucking in the low-pressure air and using it as suspension by means of air jets on the train undercarriage. This was scrapped early on in development in favor of a passive maglev propulsion/suspension system, which would be easier to prototype.
They didn't pull a vacuum, they put the pod in the thing, closed the door and launched it a second later. You're looking at ~6-24h depending on the size of the pump to pull a true vacuum on this thing.
Tartarus13 the rail is a single tail which is then surrounded on three sides by the magnetic system on the pod. The magnetics control the vertical and lateral movement of the pod as well as the forward motion. Any corner encountered will result in the pod following the track view the video as the pod is being loaded into the tube. At time 1.18 you can see the shape of the rail in the base of the pod which also demonstrates how small the pods will be which begs the question how many people will fit in each and where will the luggage go
I know it goes straight but how will it go places where it can't get to by just going straight. If the tube needs to change direction to get to the desired location how will the capsule change direction at the same time
So, this proves that mag-lev technology works in a tube. That's cool, I guess. Of course, we already knew that it would. But if we're going to make a REAL "hyperloop", this tube has to be depressurized, and it hasn't been shown that a structure like this, above ground, is feasible for the level of vacuum they're trying to create for this thing. That's why having it built underground (and thus, the real purpose of "The Boring Company") makes a lot more sense.
This will always be a transport system for the elite, like Concrode used to be for flight, due to cost, small passenger numbers, track installation costs and quantity of energy required to create and maintain the vacuum. Most developed countries already have electrified, high speed, cheap, mass transport travelling at over 160kph and some up to 320kph
They only have a track length of 470 meters or so. It accelerated to a top speed of 192 mph in that limited amount space before having to slow down to a full stop. They could have tried out 600 mph, but I guess they didn't want a big hole at the end of their test track.
this looks like the first test of it, cause I can't see real speed and in vacuum there is no sound^^ so you are only testing the magnetic field and the self controled drive? cause I haven't seen any turbine at that drive^^
+Mcq Cjc , not today but one day, Mexico will be one of the first countries with a Hyperloop system, the idea has already been proposed and accepted by Hyperloop, and expected to be up and running by the early 2020s no more than 6 years from now
Tim Suetens I didn’t see it float at all I didn’t expect to be exactly flying but I did expect it to have a space between the tube and track that I can see 😹
Issy it doesnt actually leave the track until up to speed it has retractable wheels to run on until its up to speed so in actual fact you dont see it levitate until well on its way down the track and given the camera angles will never see the air cushion
For a purported vacuum, this thing's pretty loud doe. Ah, can't wait to see how long before they admit this will be a glorified metro underground train. Maybe high speed, sure, but not at all what's advertised here.
I like the idea of this although instead of humans I would like to see Goods,food, and commodities transported similar to the Great American rail Road system otherwise hardly seems necessary for those who don't want to be late for work but I'm a fan so go get them Elon
hehe..............16-09-2009 janegara, kalian belum bisa menjapai kecepatan 1.500 km/jam, saat kata Hyperloop tercipta DON PLENGKO juga mulai belajar mengendalikan iklim dan Dia sukses mengendalikan iklim di Planet ini [ EARTH ] kalian malah dengan segala kemampuannya Hyperloop belum dapat mencapai kecepatan 1.500 km/jam Gimana sih ? mau masukan bagaimana Hyperloop bisa pencapai kecepatan 1.500 km/jam, MAKANYA TANYA DON PLENGKO sumber Hyperloop
imagine having this system in every country the opportunities of finding work and commuting easily would be amazing.
Way to go! Congratulations! Hyperloop is wonderful.
Well, Hollywood got the sound of the future right
"vacuum"
I can still hear the sound.
Assuming it takes as much distance to stop the pod as to accelerate it to 192mph, that gives it roughly 716 feet to reach that top speed, and then decelerate. in other words, this pod feats a 0-192mph in as little as 3 seconds.

Tube is only 500 meters long.
Chris Banach
doesn't look anything like 190mph to me. lucky if that is 60mph
"Assuming it takes..."
That assumption is wrong, they can accelerate at 2g then decelerate at 4G.
The company has never address the concerns of anyone who understands the maths and can show they are lying every time they are making performance claims.
please make that tube in clear materials.
in flight, I always ask windows seat by the way.
There will be screens inside giving you a view of the outside
Amazing can't wait to see this in action in the future

It''l never catch on!!
What was that pannel-thing at 2:50 ??? Seems like some cutt-out shot.
Sounds cool as it zooms by, and I like the black and blue contrast of the pod color. Job well done, keep going.
Actually this Hyperloop is very useful on planets like moon or Mars because you need enclosers and also transporting yourself to each enclosed colonies.
you realized what ever they make out has to expand and contract right?
i thought the point of this hyperloop was so that the pod doesn't have to face air resistance? what exactly is your point?
Yes, I think he has failed to understand the concept.
When did moon became a planet? No one has ever taught me.
Erm you don't understand what's going on do you?
In a tube, how many pods could travel at one time? How far apart would they have to be? If you have 50 people in a pod, and there is capacity for 10 pods, that means there are 500 people moving at any given moment. That would be good for high density routes.

What’s with the cool blue lights?
Does it levitate? If so, what if I chose to start jumping inside, will it hit the rails then bounce up and down and create a catastrophic crash scenario? Or, will you have to be inside it with belts that don't allow you to move, like you're some mental patient? I don't know, I am still waiting to see this working as a real transportation system.
It doesn't
kuba2ve : it will compensated in the magnetic drag and leads to slightly reducing its velocity, depends of how much the force ratio to the total pod weight
You are moron If do that.
yes... and any turbulence will create uncontrollable pitch, roll and yaw
I hope you're joking, otherwise I feel sorry for you.
How can rescue vehicles reach in case of any unforeseen incidents??
How does it move forward? Is it basically the Maglev tech without the air resistance?
Linear Induction Motors
I was born in 1960 and my science fiction movies from when i was a kid are coming to life.
How can we hear it in (near)vacuum?
Good question!
This is a common misconception about Hyperloops. They operate at low pressure not vacuum. There is some sound as long as there are enough particles there. I don't know what pressure they're operating at on the Hyperloop One, but on the original Hyperloop white paper it states that the expected pressure of the tube would be about 0.015 PSI (for reference, average atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSI).

This makes it so that only the beginning of the tube needs power as well as some small sections along the way to keep it at speed.
Is not a totaly vacuum... its a very low presure.
Sound can also travel through solids aswell, as long as there are vibrations.
The original white paper proposed an air-suspension system - with a turbine on the front of the train sucking in the low-pressure air and using it as suspension by means of air jets on the train undercarriage. This was scrapped early on in development in favor of a passive maglev propulsion/suspension system, which would be easier to prototype.
They didn't pull a vacuum, they put the pod in the thing, closed the door and launched it a second later. You're looking at ~6-24h depending on the size of the pump to pull a true vacuum on this thing.
how are they going to create a vacuum over large distances taking expansion into the equation? seems like folly to me
The big question is how will it turn to the left or right without crashing
The capsule just follows the tube... it doesn't "turn" at all.
yes but if the tube curves the capsule isn't exactly on a track so wouldn't it crash or some other similar event?
Tartarus13 it goes straight dumbass
Tartarus13 the rail is a single tail which is then surrounded on three sides by the magnetic system on the pod. The magnetics control the vertical and lateral movement of the pod as well as the forward motion. Any corner encountered will result in the pod following the track view the video as the pod is being loaded into the tube.

I know it goes straight but how will it go places where it can't get to by just going straight. If the tube needs to change direction to get to the desired location how will the capsule change direction at the same time
whats the nooise? I thoight it was supposed to be silent?
Sounds like a bunch of tie fighters flying around
why did it keep stopping
how was there any sound? it's a vacuum i thought.
Will a ride in the Hyperloop effect a pacemaker? Considering its method of propulsion.
Arthur Patterson We will all have eternal life
Is that tube under vacuum during that test?
They said it will be Low Pressure, NOT Vacuum.
That depends on your definition, 1/1000th atmosphere IS a vacuum.
Very good next future transport teknologji.

This all magnets?
Cool now we can start living like the Jetsons can't wait .
How do the passengers see the scenery?
They make a FAKE SCREEN / WINDOW - Virtue Reality Scenery to keep your mind occupied and realistic feeling.
They don't.
Instead of hyperloop, why they can't made behave loop...??
Looking good so far, mr. Musk
If it catches fire.... Impossible to escape
There are escape hatches. The designers aren't dumb.
You'd have to somehow re-pressurise the tube, otherwise you'd die of suffocation and sudden decompression!
They need a smaller car if they want to go faster. The air between the car and tube is compressed and accelerated.
Looks like the hyperloop tunnel is about the same diameter as a Falcon 9
That came very fast and recreation of our environment go on a big altitude
It's not still not sure what the hell this thing is some sort of transport system but how does it operate
I hear sound, in a vacuum?
ACTUALLY VIDEOED IN THE CHICAGO SUBWAY !
I came from the land down under
mass effect noises dude xD
someone please add in an upbeat inspiring soundtrack

There's no way I'm ever gonna ride in this
I thought that sound did not travel in a vacuum. It sure is noisy…
Hello Mr. Incredible. Nice suit.

Most developed countries already have electrified, high speed, cheap, mass transport travelling at over 160kph and some up to 320kph
kompani101 Elon already quoted the Hyperloop will produce more energy than it consumes. So that isn't true.
From what they said, this will be cheaper than airplanes and faster than trains and automobiles.
"The horse is here to stay, but the automobile is only a novelty, a fad," - you people
... and you actually believe malarkey like that?
kompani101
I don't think this will become a transportation system for anyone.
Cleveland to Chicago in 28 minutes.
Now I know the importance of Narrators
So Basically this is like the Shinkansen?
Wouldn't want to be holding a coffee when the thing comes to a stop.
They decelerated at about 3+G the max for people is about 1/3 G.
didn't they advertise 600mph... 192mph is only 60 above what a train can do
They only have a track length of 470 meters or so. It accelerated to a top speed of 192 mph in that limited amount space before having to slow down to a full stop.
They could have tried out 600 mph, but I guess they didn't want a big hole at the end of their test track.
Super super good welcome to India
Wasn't this in Nevada tho?
No emergency exit
What if we get stuckk?#$@€#&
this looks like the first test of it, cause I can't see real speed and in vacuum there is no sound^^
so you are only testing the magnetic field and the self controled drive?
cause I haven't seen any turbine at that drive^^
Reinventing The Subway.. lol
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Más que excelente
it would make me very claustrophobic. this will be the main issue that the project will have a hard time overcoming.
How Hyperloop One's System Becomes Reality, but it is not exactly :D
Every system needs tests in order to become reality. Tests are steps to reality.
Must make the tube bigger to reach 750 mph
Big important question: who's going to own all this amazing revolutionary infrastructure and technology when Elon Musk dies?
Me
I don’t see it levitating
Did you genuinely expect it to be like in the movies, where you can see it floating? No. It has no need to float higher than a few millimeters.
Tim Suetens I didn’t see it float at all I didn’t expect to be exactly flying but I did expect it to have a space between the tube and track that I can see 😹
Issy it doesnt actually leave the track until up to speed it has retractable wheels to run on until its up to speed so in actual fact you dont see it levitate until well on its way down the track and given the camera angles will never see the air cushion
It is slow
فكر جميلة
No it's not. Its not slow at all. Its 245 MPH.

For a purported vacuum, this thing's pretty loud doe. Ah, can't wait to see how long before they admit this will be a glorified metro underground train. Maybe high speed, sure, but not at all what's advertised here.
It is a partial vacuum, sound can propagate.
The Doppler effect indicates the microphone was in the tube.
