Hyperloop is – in a nutshell – a cross between a hovercraft with the train. The entire structure is a long tube in which rushing small aluminum trolleys for up to 28 people.

These capsules move at a speed reaching up to 1200 km / h. Action Hyperloop once we explained like this:
To achieve this result uses two key solutions. Firstly, the whole tube of reduced pressure, which substantially reduces the friction. But it is not low enough to gaping construction could lead to disaster.
Secondly, each wagon is equipped with a compressor, which sucks air from the front of the vehicle and pumped it back and partly from side to side. This gives the drive a capsule, and at the same time creates an air cushion on which it floats.
Concept Hyperloop comes from the eccentric and visionary billionaire Elon Musk. While the company Hyperloop Transportation Technologies is not associated with it – it uses the idea Muska and tries to implement it.
Representatives Hyperloop Transportation Technologies met this week with the authorities of Slovakia, has signed a preliminary agreement of cooperation. Within the framework of a system for rapid transport would be built at the beginning between Bratislava and Vienna, and later would reach Budapest.

Travel Hyperloop from Bratislava to Vienna could take 8 minutes, and from Bratislava to Budapest – 10 minutes.
Hyperloop in Europe would lead to connect cities in the unprecedented way. This type of system to redefine the transportation (of people) and will lead to increased cross-border cooperation – said the Minister of Economy of Slovakia Vazil Hudak.
This, however, is not the only initiative to build transport type Hyperloop in Europe. On its own project work also Polish scientists. They want to build a connection between Gdansk and Krakow . The journey would last for 35 minutes.
