Hyperloop
A Hyperloop is a theoretical mode of high-speed transportation sketched out by serial entrepreneur elon Musk. Musk envisions the system as a 'fifth mode' of transportation: an alternative to Boats,aircrafts,automobiles and trains. Musk, who has expressed his intent to develop a prototype hyperloop, stated that it "could revolutionize travel", but the technological and economic feasibility of the idea has not been independently studied.
A hyperloop would be, according to Musk, "an elevated, reduced-pressure tube that contains pressurized capsules driven within the tube by a number of linear electric Motors
Musk and a small group of Telsa and SpaceX engineers released an alpha-level design in August 2013. The alpha design calls for a capsule that would ride on a cushion of air forced through multiple openings on the capsule's bottom. The design proposes "a combination of active and passive means to reduce the negative effects of choked airfolw
According to the initial alpha design, released on August 12, 2013, a hyperloop would enable travel from the Los angles region to the San Francisco Bay Area in 35 minutes, meaning that passengers would traverse the proposed 354-mile (570 km) route at an average speed of just under 598 mph (962 km/h), and a top speed of 760 mph (1,220 km/h).
If it is in India, It would take approx. three hours to travel from Extreme north to Extreme south( Kanyakumary). Ofcourse non-stop :P Hope this comes true.
