The Hyperloop: Disrupting the Future of Transportation?

Traveling at nerve-rattling speeds of over 1000km/hr, the Hyperloop promises to redefine our experiences of intercity travel. This game-changing transportation module could potentially take you from Lagos to Abuja in literal minutes. This revolutionary concept comes from the fascinating mind of Elon Musk, who also holds the CEO position at Tesla, known widely for its innovative efforts in the electric vehicle sector. Although the system is complex, the primary vision for its implementation aims on intercity and interstate travel. This would enable a quick commute in large landmass countries like the United States and Nigeria, perfect for travels from Lagos Island to Osogbo, or Abuja Municipal to Kafanchan.

Understanding the Hyperloop and its Mechanics

The Hyperloop operates by transporting passengers in low-pressure tubes or capsules, propelled by the force of magnets at thrilling speeds near the speed of sound. Elon Musk proposes this concept on the SpaceX website as a solution to the frequent journey between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Musk has even taken into account the seismic activity in California and how it may impact pricing of these rapid transits across the globe.

Witnessing the Hyperloop’s Debut

Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) has filed for a permit for a five-mile test of this innovative concept that still spurs thoughts related to science fiction for many people. Preparations for construction, such as pylon placement and soil tests, are already underway. The projected initiation for operation to the public is set at 2018, as revealed by COO Bibop Gresta at the 2016 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Despite its immense potential, the implementation of the Hyperloop system will require an enormous budget that may limit its adoption in certain parts of the world. However, before we can truly estimate the reach and impact of this groundbreaking concept, we must first see what HTT presents us with in 2018.
