South Korea might soon to get Hyperloop transport technology


Hyperloop is a mode of passenger and freight transportation that would propel a pod-like vehicle through a reduced-pressure tube that could potentially exceed airliner speeds. The alpha version of the proposal, published on the SpaceX website, describes the system, as well as its function. The pods would accelerate to cruising speed gradually using a linear electric motor and glide above their track using passive magnetic levitation or air bearings. The tubes could also go above ground on columns or underground, eliminating the dangers of grade crossings. It is hoped that the system will be highly energy-efficient, quiet, and autonomous.


                                        


Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT), one of the firms developing Elon Musk's vision of ultra-speed travel through tubes, has signed its first commercial deal to license its technology to South Korea, making the Asian country potentially one of the first to get the futuristic system.

Earlier this year, the South Korean government along with academic institutions announced plans to create a Hyperloop train called the Hyper Tube Express (HTX). It would travel at around 620 miles per hour, meaning the roughly 200 mile journey from Seoul to Busan would take 20 minutes. The aim is to connect the HTX to many major cities in South Korea.Last year, HTT showed off the magnetic technology that would propel the pods forward. And this year, the company is developing the passenger pod which is set to be revealed in 2018.

Currently the company that is bringing the Hyperloop to the UAE has just released never-seen-before images of its development site, a journey from Dubai to Abu Dhabi will take only 12 minutes.
