The American company “Hyperloop Technologies”, specialization of which is the work in the field of high technology, is currently engaged in the design of the vacuum train.
Model ready for testing in the US, they are ready to release by 2020.
In this regard, experts note the following. For the first time this method of passenger transportation was offered to a British citizen Henry Pincus nearly 180 years ago. His idea is that a train, by means of a magnetic levitating, to move inside a special tube, full vacuum.
The absence of friction and air resistance will result in a huge increase in speed potential of rolling stock. It can be up to 8 thousand kilometers per hour, with a relatively low cost project.
The cost of one kilometer of suspended (or, alternatively, underground) road is estimated at $ 2.9 million.
