2. How it works
1 Reduced Pressure Tubes in which the Capsules ride.
2 Capsules ride on an Air Cushion by propelling air behind them.
3
Air propelled by linear Induction Motors and Air Compressors
4 Solar Panels on the outside for Energy
3. Advantages
1. Open Source Technology
2. Energy Efficient and Non Polluting
3. Uses a Linear Induction Motor
4. Linear Induction Motor
1 In an AC induction motor, electromagnets positioned around the
edge of the motor are used to generate a rotating magnetic field in
the central space between them. This "induces" (produces) electric
currents in a rotor, causing it to spin
2 In an electric car, DC or AC motors like these are used to drive
gears and wheels and convert rotational motion into motion in a
straight line.

A linear motor is effectively an AC induction motor that has
been cut open and unwrapped. The "stator" is laid out in the
form of a track of flat coils . The "rotor" takes the form of a
moving platform known as the "secondary." When the current is
switched on, the secondary glides past the primary supported
and propelled by a magnetic field.
5. Advantages of Linear Motors
1 There are no moving parts to go
wrong
2 Platform rides above the track on a cushion
of air, there is no loss of energy to friction
or vibration
3 As both acceleration and braking are achieved
through electromagnetism, linear motors are
much quieter than ordinary motors.
7. Virgin Hyperloop Interior
1 There will be no windows 2 There will be interactive entertainment
screens at the armrest of the seats
3 The seats are designed in a very futuristic
manner.

I'm just trying to think about the future
and not be sad.â - Elon Musk
