TravelRe: Lagos: Skytran To Build 40km Hyperloop Track by roboace: 3:53pm On Dec 18, 2016
Hello, lads. So sorry but the caption is highly misleading saying that Skytran and Hyperloop are one and the same which they are not for two reasons. A. Skytran is simply a monorail one-axis bogie system that allows a pod to travel along the monorail while the Hyperloop is based on the Kantrowitz limits principles of fluid/gas dynamics and B. The Skytran pod is exposed to atmospheric pressure while the Hyperloop works in a vaccuum w/ low pressure. Skytran and Hyperloop's mode of propulsion vary at a great length w/ air bearings or magnetic levitation tech which differs greatly w/ both propulsion sytems of SkyTran pods and Hyperloop pods. Pls note these differences and I suggest they are not regarded as the same. Cheers
