'hyperloop' That Will 'shoot' Passengers From LA To San Francisco In 30mins by omobarBlog(m): 3:22pm On Aug 13, 2013
Paypal billionaire Elon Musk has revealed plans for a radical new ‘hyperloop’ transport system that could ‘shoot’ passengers 380 miles from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes.
Travellers enter aluminium pods mounted by skis either to their feet or to their cars.
The pods, mounted above the ground on columns 50 to 100 yards apart, travel through steel tubes, reaching speeds of up to 800mph and travelling on a cushion of air.
The entrepreneur, who is also behind electric car firm Tesla and space company SpaceX, says the system could be built for less than a high speed rail link.
Musk told Bloomberg Business Week the system would be ‘like getting a ride on Space Mountain at Disneyland.’ watch video below....

‘It would have less lateral acceleration—which is what tends to make people feel motion sick—than a subway ride, as the pod banks against the tube like an airplane,' he said.
‘It would feel super smooth.’
'The Hyper-loop (or something similar) is, in my opinion, the right solution for the specific case of high traffic city pairs that are less than about 1500 km or 900 miles apart,' he claimed.
Musk boasted on Twitter he has been working on the plan all night after promising to release the details today, creating massive speculation online over its technology.
