Damn! U just put a needle thru their baloon. They didn't consider that now they are going to scrap it all.

Building the Hyperloop would be just 1/10th the cost of a high speed rail system, and 1/4th the cost of a freeway. Maglev technologies are also extremely energy efficient. Another Maglev system funded by NASA called SkyTran has a near zero energy impact. It uses solar power and needs almost no power beyond that.

Who said hyperloop is up and running anywhere?

You mind showimg us where that was assarted?

I said this system is up and running in Israel.

Or to you the phrase this system means the same hyperloop they just tested in the US?

The bolded is where you actually goofed, Hyperloop don't travel on Magnetic levitation oga.

That is just where I want to correct

Not to be outdone, HTT recently announced an exclusive deal to license passive magnetic levitation, which employs a magnet and coil system developed in the 1990s. “Utilizing a passive levitation system will eliminate the need for power stations along the Hyperloop track, which makes this system the most suitable for the application and will keep construction costs low,” Bibop Gresta, COO of HTT, said a press release.
Slow your roll and stop confusing yourself. Hyperloop is one thing and what propels hyperloop is another thing.

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, one of two LA-based startups working to build Elon Musk’s futuristic transportation system, announced today that it has licensed a technology called "passive magnetic levitation" to power its prototype. The system is "a cheaper, safer alternative" to regular magnetic levitation, or maglev, which is currently in operation powering high-speed trains in China and Europe

Hyperloop


He calls it the "Hyperloop." Everyone else calls it a Vactrain or Evacuated Tube Transport. Essentially it's a track enclosed in a tube that has all the air removed from it, making it a frictionless vacuum. The train would move through the tube via magnetic propulsion similar to the Monorail at Disneyland; which was built in 1956. This is called Magnetic Levitation or Maglev for short. Because there is no friction it would be able to reach speeds up to 4,000mph! At that speed you'd only feel 1G of force, which is the exact same force gravity is applying on you at this very moment

MIT students design Hyperloop pod that will float using magnets


Intended as a low-cost way to speed passengers between Los Angeles and San Francisco in a fraction of the time taken by other modes of transport, Hyperloop consists of driverless capsules travelling in low-pressure tubes mounted just above the ground.

The low pressure would reduce air resistance, meaning capsules propelled by linear induction motors could speed through the tubes at speeds of up to 760 miles (1,220 kilometres) per hour. Friction would be reduced by floating the capsules on a cushion of air or by using magnetic levitation.

MIT's winning solution involves levitating the pod above the track with powerful on-board magnets. Propulsion would come from induction motors built into the track itself.

Weighing only 250 kilograms, the experimental pod can travel up to 246 miles per hour, although the design does not account for passengers or cargo.

We use magnet levitation and our pod doesn’t have any onboard propulsion," an MIT spokesperson told Dezeen. "We will be accelerated by a SpaceX launch device, casually referred to as 'the pusher

I educated you so be thankful. The system is using solar, sun and free of charge, I just hope they know what solar is in your village...

You guys are gullible.The hyperloop technology is still under development and is not fully tested with commuters.so nobody should come to Nigeria and start making noise on something that is not working in the US yet.it's purely a scam

CFCman:
At a cost of $13 million per mile (or per 1.6km), the total cost of the project in Lagos will be $325 million or over N64.6bn.
That's like 3/4 of some state budgets

Babysho:


Lagos be dragging with Dubai

But I'm so happy because when the students study History in the future...they'll date back to Buhari and how he reformed Nigeria into what it'll be....The Leading Nation of the World.

With the right tools...Nigeria also have really smart people who'll make a difference in the world.

There is nothing new or mysterious about this system, it's already up and running in Israel and India..

Guy stop lying please. Hyperloop is still in its infancy stage and has yet to even have a working prototype.

Hyperloop Transportation says it will use a ‘cheaper, safer’ form of magnetic levitation

Were you saying Hyperloop doesn't travel on Maglev?

Get some education and stop the ignorance..

The MIT designers said they used Maglev, but some olodo people on NL with no engineering degrees are claiming the opposite.

Time to get back to the main topic now that the ignorant assertions about maglev is trashed and flushed..

talktimi:
neither hyperloop nor maglev technology is operational ANYWHERE in India or Israel especially India right now, I dare you to prove me wrong. The one for Israel is a proposal from this same Skytran and would at best still be under construction stage by now. Stop lying please it's not good for your health

BarryX:
You bringing up a design from test designers as back-up to say Hyperloop is Maglev.

The original design of the Hyperloop concept propounded by Elon Musk NEVER uses Magnets (Maglev) for propulsion.
However in 2015, there was a Hyperloop pod design competition organised by SpaceX where different designers came up with they think could be the commercial Hyperloop prototype and you were dumb enough to post their concepts to massage your lying palletes.

http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop

The news should have read Lagos builds maglev tracks and not Hyperloop as this is just a ploy to deceive people.

You should ask Skytran the conceptual design they intend using for the tracks because I know it is not the Hyperloop concept that I know

SpaceX is not building anything.

Hyoerloop One and HTT are the 2 entities competing to build hyperloop.

I keep telling you, educate yourself first before arguing blindly.


You said hyperloop doesn't travel on Maglev so answer my question first. But HTT like I posted with facts and links said they picked Maglev system.

Does hyperloop travel on Maglev. Yes or no?

Be a man and just answer yes or no.[/s]

og2711:


"The Hyperloop is a conceptual high-speed transportation system originally put forward by Elon Musk, incorporating reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction motors and air compressors.

Designs for test tracks and capsules are currently being developed, with construction of a full-scale prototype 5-mile (8 km) track scheduled to start in 2016.[7] In addition, a subscale pod design competition on a very short, 1 mile (1.6 km), test track was built in Nevada – the first tests of the scale model occurred in May 2016"- Wikipedia

It's VERY shameful to still be arguing after its been proven that you're telling lies...
