How long until Hyperloop is here?

The company has built a tube about 24 meters in length. While this is a short distance, TUM Hyperloop is trying to test the systems work before continuing to build a long track. Semino said he expects that by the end of this decade the technology will be ready.

According to the study, the Great Lakes hyperloop will cost between $25 billion and $30 billion, or $60 million per mile, and six years to construct. Once in operation, passengers can expect to pay about two thirds the price of a comparable air ticket.

Hyperloop One estimated that for a loop around the Bay Area the costs were in a range on $9 billion to $13 billion in total, or from $84 million to $121 million per mile.

The Hyperloop was meant to be built as a network of underground tunnels, but the project never reached fruition. Elon Musk started talking about the Hyperloop in 2013.

A harder problem: the vacuum tube Maintaining this vacuum, about one-thousandth the pressure of Earth's atmosphere, through millions of cubic feet of volume will be a big challenge. Whenever passengers enter or exit the system, the Hyperloop has to be temporarily unsealed. Thus, stations would require interlocks.

The proposed accelerations for the Hyperloop are a factor of seven greater than the Shinkansen in Japan allow for concerning human passengers, as humans can only handle about 0.2g's (or about 2 m/s^2) of acceleration in the up-and-down or side-to-side directions.

Hyperloop testing at full-scale begins later this year. Musk believes that the system, which could enable travel to as much as 700 mph (1,100 km/h), would be the fastest way to travel distances of less than 2,000 miles (3,200 km):

This technology is based on the concept of magnetic levitation, which uses magnets to suspend the pod and propel it forward. This makes the Hyperloop TT much faster than the bullet train, which has a maximum speed of 200-300 miles per hour.
