Slovak government signed an agreement with the American company Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) for the development and construction of the system, ground transportation, which will shorten the journey on the route Bratislava – Vienna to 8 minutes.
Hyperloop will be a kind of hybrid of land and air transport. It is based on vacuum tube, inside which a speed exceeding 1200 km / h sped small, several people with cars. In the future it will connect the city that lie too close to the plane trip, but at the same time too far to comfortably travel between them by car. For example, the most commonly administered to San Francisco and Los Angeles, but ready Hyperloop has spread throughout the world.
The idea was born in the head of Elon Musk, president and founder, among others, SpaceX and Tesla. No wonder that very soon attempted to implement. Currently, the construction of the first section of the test, and in the development of the technology involved several teams, including start-up of Los Angeles called Hyperloop Transport Technologies (HTT). Its president – Dirk Alhborn – but there is no intention to sit in the comfort of the office and wait for his colleagues make the technological upheaval. Instead of traveling the world and to the new transport system is trying to convince governments of the following countries.
The Verge reports that it has successfully completed its visit to Slovakia, whose government signed an agreement with HTT on the construction of the section Hyperloop that will connect Bratislava, Vienna and Budapest. Quickly it estimated that the trip between the two capitals first at full speed would take no more than 8 minutes.
Alhborn was obviously delighted approach Slovaks and described our southern neighbor as the technological leader in Europe. No less optimistic about the economy minister spoke Slovakia – Vazil Hudak. His job Hyperloop “redefine the concept of traveling and increase cross-border cooperation in Europe” – we read in the pages of The Verge.
