- Imagine getting from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just about 30 minutes. That kind of high-speed travel is the end-game of SpaceX's Hyperloop, and teams around the world are working hard to come up with the right pod for the job.
Three such teams gathered at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, last Sunday to compete in the third SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. From a starting group of 20 teams, these three qualified to launch on SpaceX’s Hyperloop track.

Elon Musk's Hyperloop has a better chance of success than MoviePass...
Watch more on that here - bit.ly/2M6MsQ1
VICE News Not really... Unless Elon somehow rewrites the laws of physics
I don't get how people are so against this idea. Spacecraft travel 17,750mph through a vacuum. It's very simple...if we can reproduce that on Earth we can reach massive speeds. And have something you can enter and exit just like a train.
Keep your mouths shut! All you negative idiots! Nobody wants to hear you speak! Hahaha.
@Matt Luis
First of all air resistance isn't much of a factor when it comes to speeds of 400-700 mph so in that sense the idea and actual track have to have other huge benefits to provide such as lack of noise, price, energy efficiency and so on before deemed feasible. In Japan there are bullet trains traveling at speeds greater than 400 mph without vacuum.
Second. Reliability is a huge issue. In order to maintain a vacuum you need strong, durable and flexible materials which will last over time and multiple use. Otherwise what will happen is in the event a failure the loop will get depressurized and it will implode. Search "Railroad tank car vacuum implosion" which should illustrate the effect for you.
Adding to that there will be a need for a special venting system to prevent moisture and subsequently rust from building up. At the moment the inside of the test loop is rusty as hell and when you watch those videos those clouds behind the test pods are actual rust. Needless to say where there is metal you don't want rust as it will eat things from the inside.
Third... The time and energy to create the vacuum after every travel of the pod is immense right now and exponentially grows the larger the track is because there are no cut off points in the current design. At the moment it's just a tube with no separate sectors. Any such contraption will further increase the complexity and the cost of a potential track.
Fourth... Metal expands and contracts under heat changes so the calculations need to be extremely precise. This is not just a simple railroad track where the margin of error is much lower, this is a pressurized chamber in which any failure to protect the integrity will result in the death of every passenger inside the tube. Imagine a 100 mile track where every nut, bolt and tube need to be perfectly aligned to maintain a vacuum. Now imagine a 0.1 degree variation per every 100 ft... It doesn't sound like much but it adds up and at the end you have catastrophic failure resulting in tens of people dead and immense repair costs.
Fifth... Musk is planning on building the first loop above a seismic zone. Earthquakes aren't the best thing for a complex vacuum chamber.
Sixth... Those electric pods that the students are using do not come even close to the speed requirements and also to a proper passenger safety regulation. They are mostly frames with electric motors that are not designed to carry any payload.
So, no Matt Luis. It's not very simple. And these are just some of the issues. There are plenty more. So please educate yourself before telling others to keep their mouths shut and calling them negative idiots and then laugh at them because the only thing you achieve is making yourself look stupid.
VICE News too geeky
''Spacecraft travel 17,750mph through a vacuum'' i wonder what would happen to a spacecraft if it suddenly hit air at that speed, for example if the tube suddenly bursts.... Nobody can hold vacuum in such a long vacuum tube reliably, smallest crack or man made hole in the tube and the hyperlood is a giant steel grave.
Ofc the German team went the fastest. They’re used to going on the autobahn.
Adnan A yea but If its Like the trains, the hyperloop will never arrive on time
Egal Egaal 😂😂 I haven’t heard about the trains there.
Adnan A Germans are the engineers of the world. They've invented basically everything
Adnan A thats German engineering for you.
Ye the Autobahn is exactly the same shit like your highway but in germany we call it autobahn with arround 70% of it has a speedlimit. Just 30 % of the highway has no speedlimit.
The US really need to join the rest of the world and use SI (metric units)
Bo Sheek lol tell me one country that uses the SI unit for velocity!
It's used for many things, wind speed for example. He put metric in parenthesis anyway, you know what he meant.
Peer Svensson sorry where is wind speed measured in m/s?? I think we should actually use SI units not the metric or Imperial bull crap
Well, Sweden for one. However, in (aero)nautical settings, it's more common to use knots.
because imperial units are based on metric units

I like the Austrian way better

Now this is pod racing!
Jar Jar would be proud.
Yippee!
This comment is underrated
These werent the pods Im looking for...
perfect use of this
Killed me when they thought that pod went 435km/h only to be told it actually went 53mph... Deadly.
Being engineers , you would think they would. If known something was up right away ....
no major transportation innovation in the last 100 years?? WHAT?? the commercial airplane!!
Depends on the perspective. I took it that they meant _new major type_ of transportation. The first commercial airplane flight was in 1914, making it over 100 years ago. But it obviously depends on the semantics of what makes a new type of transportation.
There were _major_ innovations in both jet engine, railway and automotive technology. It was just gradual.
"We want this hyperloop technology to be built because it will be this major web that's connecting the entire us, maybe the world"
I'd also like private helicopters to become the standard mode of transportation because it gets me to the grocery store in 2 minutes.
This girl doesn't really understand what's going on.
Merthalophor Last comment *Savage*
Also bullet trains which work just fine, and don't need pressurization and oxygen, and have windows.
why can we just use km/h?
Cuz
president carter tried to change to metric, but republicans voted it down derp
Goddam Murica use metric! Nobody knows what 284 mph is
Aaron Horrell It's dang fast
When is MURICA joining the world with metric?
Aaron Horrell like 350 or above of the top of my head.
Chris Bellen we use metric sometimes.
Its so engraved in their infrastructure, it will probably never happen
German engineering 😍
One Asian dude in the team
When the German team won, I certainly wasn't surprised. Germans are, for whatever reason, fucking great engineers. Not to imply that we don't have great engineers here in America or Japan, etc. But German engineering just seems different somehow.
So, even though I have always thought that the Hyperloop is a moronic idea that will definitely end in catastrophic failure in a real world system, congratulations Germany. Hopefully what the team developed here will be able to be used in some other system that actually CAN be built.
We sure are good engineers, thank you
Lol. Dah!
engineering schools are free public and doesn't select student so there's more talent for wich we can select the best.
I'm watching this inside TUM's library, as a mechanical engineering student. Thats the best motivation I've ever seen! Thanks for the video!
They should change that screen from "km/hr" to "km/h".
“There hasn’t been a major transportation innovation in 100 years”, maglev trains is one I can think off of my head
Also aeroplanes 😅
Congratulations Germany. you guys always have the best engineers.
Once the vacuum pod is opened for technical issues does it need to re-vacuum the whole chamber or there is system that prevent that needing only the section needed to be vacuumed?
You can survive in a vacuum for up to 90 seconds, but you will lose consciousness after couple of seconds.
Airlocks
If airlocks are so simple, why didn't include one on this test track??
They don’t mention the air density. It’s probably not an extremely low pressure vacuum
kurtsaidwhat If I remember correctly it is 10% of normal air pressure.
Jet planes invented less than a hundred years ago
Ogram Brat jet planes are slow, expensive, and not efficient.
David Beppler slow?
@@zachb1706 yes commercial jet planes not SR Black bird
Elon reminds me of the rich James bond villian
How so? Nothing villain-like about trying to change our futures for the better.
He's a narcissist.
suomipepe He’s really not. He’s been really humble about a lot of things he’s done.
because most of the rich james bond villains also seemed exactly like him. nice, entrepreneur, bringing new and better things to the world....
have you idiots even watched james bond? or just the stuff since you were 10?
or do you just not like how what he said made you feel?
I hope these talented engineers can use their work in other industries later on because the hyperloop is sadly not even remotely possible.
Now just imagine a tube a thousand miles long or more, with all of the air vacuumed out, and then consider what a natural disaster or terrorism, or general mechanical failure might look like when all of that air rushes back into that tube. This Hyperloop idea is insane.
Hyperloop would obviously be well guarded.
elon dickrider@@Dylan-cr5ub
"there hasn't been any major innovation in the transportation industry in over 100 years" Are you kidding me? helicopters, jet engines, jumbo jets, bullet trains, electric cars, solar powered planes, boats and cars. The list goes on.

The hyperloop experiment as it stands is a publicity stunt for tech that doesn't even exist.

It's a development project for tech that doesn't exist. Not the same. It may never become a replacement for high speed rail, but thunderfoot's opinion is worthless anyway.

Happy John bHhHahhhahhaha good eye
Japanese maglev full size test gets 375mph, with no vacuum.
$82,000,000,000USD invested to build track from Tokyo to Osaka.
Most of the track will be underground, if depressured = hyperloop.
You can even get similar speeds on ordinary tracks: TGV reach a world record speed of 575 km/h already in 2007.
They should have a competition to see who can lobby their local municipalities to finance and approve such a system. Speed is irrelevant.
To all the people that say just look at Japan and France, No disrespect but...The bullet train is just an incremental evolution of existing train technology. The TGV the same. Maglev however is an advance and needs funding to make it more efficient. Putting a Maglev in an evacuated pipe increases efficiency. Then increasing the state of the art of magnets, control systems and power supplies makes it an interesting idea. Using technologies that Musk's company's are researching this could very well be the future state of the art! Well done and keep going. :)
Wayne Mahomet I honestly wonder if we'll ever have room temperature superconductors for those
How much energy does it take to create a vacuum in this 1km long tunnel?
if this was economically viable it would already be there, Maglev has been in development for decades, it's not happening, regular rail is efficient enough to not have to make massive investments in technologies that are just barely superior
The Hyperloop Idea is 50 years old -
It’s like most of Musks stuff. Those are great ideas but they never ever have an ROI. Tesla Cars, the solar roofs with a higher price and worse electricity output than other solar panels etc. On all of his projects SpaceX is the most promising one but still isn’t profitable. All of his projects have collected 5 billion dollars of governmental funding and this is the only reason why they are still alive. All will agree that the Hyperloop is super fast. But to compete with airplanes or trains you would have to build and maintain a tunnel >300miles. Even pipelines don’t and won’t really work here, because of leakage. Now you need a 1000% tight tunnel to build up your vacuum. That means pumps and monitoring equipment every 5 miles eating up your profit and vacuum proofed doors each 1000 feet for emergency exits... :) it just never ever gonna work. This will be solved by aircraft. I admire musk for his progressive acting, but from an engineering and business perspective I doubt that any of this takes off.
+Lasmas Call it what you want, but at least he is trying to make a difference. Not all his projects may be economically feasible, but because of the successes of Tesla, other car companies were basically forced to bring out their own electrical vehicles. Because Musk started Tesla, the timeline of the electric car might have been propelled forward as much as 10-20 years. To be clear, I'm not saying Hyperloop or any of the other companies are great ideas, but for me, that's not what this should be about. It is about trying to make a difference in the world and trying to actually improve the world instead of trying to make money. You say that none of his companies have a good business model, which is because his model isn't about business. It's about continual improvement of the technologies on which he is working, and with it, the world.
China has been running Meglev at 268 mph commercially, every 15-20 minutes, since 2004. A 284 mph demo pod has a long way to go.
ThisNoName no, hyperloop tests are already beating the MagLev by a wide margin. Just needs to reach target speeds of 700+ mph before scaling up. Thanks.
284? Or some new numbers recently?
ThisNoName 284 is much faster and more efficient.
You do realize you are comparing a 14 year old commercial train service with a miniaturized demo pod, right? And how "much" faster is 284 again?
15 minutes @ 268 mph = 67 miles. This test tube is 0.8 miles, reaching 284 mph before having to brake is an amazing performance.
"There hasn't been any major innovation in the transportation industry in over 100 years" lol WHAT?! 0:20
Ikr it's so dumb. Airplanes, rockets, self driving cars, etc.
A b they mean baby transportation that we use daily
Germanys engineering is beautiful
When you put so much effort in your own hyperloop to make your senpai notice you but he barely gives a shit.
"no major innovation in transportation in over 100 years"
@Kevin K
i don't know if the so called Tesla fanboys who defend Elon Musk is trolling everyone or they just too lazy to use google
MASSIVE respect for the Jamaican team. Their pod may have failed, but the four of them carried it to the finish line with dignity and grace as the crowd engaged in a slow clap.
it's like when lil rascals had a go kart race but with big kids with even bigger ambitions
Nice trivia: The "Desk" where Elon is standing, is made out of the Bricks that the Boring Company produces from the waste that comes out of the tunels they make.
German engineering 👍🏽
Nice job from the Technical University of Munich! I am currently aiming to study there :)
Like that scene from Running Man.
So where's vacuum, elastic seals, entry and exit chambers, magnetic levitation and making turns at high speed? Where are safety and emergency tests?
Hyperloop still looks like a pipe dream, filled with hype for no reason.
Just a hot topic for university science projects 😂😂. Too expensive for commercial usage.
You guys should try bobsled
Here's how to build a bullet train:
1) Take ordinary train
2) Add one heavily armed terrorist
3) Profit?
bullet train not bullet head derp
My question is, is it possible to create a vacuum over 100s of miles of this tube? Can safety be guaranteed to a certain extent for the people inside the pods if a de-pressurization event occurs in the tube??
“There hasn’t been major innovation to transportation in over 100 years”
I guess the change from barely being able to fly to being able to carry hundreds of people on a large jet powered engine means nothing.
I was scared when I saw his thumbnail at vice news 😂😂😂
I almost feel bad for the students there!! They spent so much time and effort in a technology that was OBSOLETE years ago due to high speed trains like the shinkansen in Japan, the TGV in Europe or the AVE in Spain.
But then again, kids there don't care if it works or if it's commercially viable, all they care about is passing that class with good grades.
for everyone else in the world , top speed was 457,054 km/h
Wow really?! 284000 mph, now THAT is an achievement!
doc "what did i tell you?!?!?! 88 miles per hour!!"
4:29 Elon is like "aight I'm done with this child's play, time to go do something else"
Good job TU Munich. But wait till RWTH Aachen forms a team for hyperloop
no talking doing.
I'm surprised that going at 88mph wasn't enough to make them travel to the future and retrieve a fully working system...

In Japan they have bullet trains that are way better than "hyperloops" IMO.
Fire Marshal Bill that’s a shit analogy
Androva J. No, Hyperloop is a failed recycled idea
But they're 3 times the estimated cost of hyperloop
Androva J. Hypeloop, sending people through a vacuum tube is expensive and dangerous, a little damage e.g. through an earthquake and it is riskier than launching a rocket into orbit
blacktea65 yeah coz normal trains keep going when an earthquake happens instead of stopping
Elon musk reminds me of Tony Stark... lol
I know a few people that if you opened both ends of the tunnel and let them talk, that pod would break the sound barrier easily.
88mph? They can time travel

Utter nonsense, some media outlets just don’t like him
It’s because he is a sore loser, but everyone has their flaws. I still have respect for the guy for what he is trying to change in the world
So?
Maglev train technology already exists. What is the point of this?
no, this hasn't been done before
Horses exist, why make cars?
So, why not take the existing maglev trains and put them into tubes?
Why test new vehicles?
sync232 its really a public event for students to create stuff.
The final train will prob ether be Germin or Japanese design. Train needs to be sealed and have oxygen etc...
Maglev? The US is even 50 years behind on ordinary tracks. They can't even build a High-Speed Rail system, go figure.
(High-Speed trains are way cheaper than maglev. The existing maglev systems are pretty limited, while High-Speed trains have been operational successfully over all of Europe, China, and Japan for decades. Maglev will not be a threat to High-Speed trains for at least the next 20 to 25 years, IMO.)
Elon Musk didn't invent the concept, it's been round since the victorian era..he just brought the idea back
Kinda annoys me how they are using aluminum for the parts not carbon fiber.
"...no major innovation in transportation in 100 years..." THAT ...just tells me you have not been on the bullet train in Japan and why we so often miss simpler solutions to problems we have also made ourselves as humans. Get out more, travel a bit, before you make these statements....lift your head out of your ' school books ' and be fair - give credit where credit is due!
They made a super dumb comment, in the last 100 years we have created commercialized air travel, actually viable cars for trips longer then a few blocks, we created maglev trains, we have created massive ships that allow us to ship goods throughout the world.
Or the french TGV that came out in the early 80s
The bullet train is just an incremental evolution of existing train technology. The TGV the same. Maglev however is an advance and needs funding to make it more efficient. Putting a Maglev in an evacuated pipe increases efficiency. Then increasing the state of the art of magnets, control systems and power supplies makes it an interesting idea. :)
Wayne Mahomet High speed trains can hardly be compared to steam trains. Same with cars and planes.
Not inventing a new way of transportation doesn't mean there's no major innovation being made
UMM... Mate I don't think you understand what I was saying! there has been plenty of advances, yes, Go back and re-read my comment LOL Where is steam trains even in this conversation. I'm totally endorsing this. Yes there has been incremental advances in technology through the years but this is trying to be Revolutionary. And I think its great. Think BIG!
"Conceptualized by Elon Musk" ?!!!
The statement is correct. Your understanding may not be.
@@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489 Musk created the name "hyperloop" and the accompanying hype. The idea itself is a hundred years old. A real design engineer would start by wondering why such an old idea was never actually built or successful. Musk, having a god complex rather than an engineering or science degree, never will.
I love the Company SpaceX i hope it will be come a Save SpaceCompany and i like Elon Musk.
Does anybody know what you need to study in order to work on projects like these hyperloops?
Hyperloop is a scam by its price.
Fraud
Idiot
@Ramen Lover him
Nobody gonna mention how this tube is the second largest vaccum chamber in the world only after CERN or how, even though it is very small in comparison to the completed track, takes 30 mins to make the tube a vacuum chamber every single time. Imagine if it was hundreds of kilometers, imagine the amount of time waiting in a pod for the pressure to drop.
ever heard of airlocks?
but could a normal human being capable of travel in that amount of speed whtout hving health impact?
Deezow too I think when the bullet trains came, people were thinking the same thing. There must be something in this hyperloop so that the passengers can travel properly without any health issues.
3 european teams....
still using metric
Leonard schwaighofer metric
Most countries in the world don't use Fahrenheit.
I fail to see what the point of all this is... In my mind there are far bigger logistical issues to be solved than sending a vehicle as fast as you can down a small stretch of track. We've literally been doing that for decades. This seems like nothing more than a PR campaign.
Yes, it is a PR campaign. That is the point. People are still saying MagLev is good enough. It is not. Not even close. MagLev is at it's max speed and very inefficient. Hyperloop will be more than 2X faster, safer, and more efficient. That is the point of the PR.
David, you don't get it... The biggest problem here is being able to maintain a consistent vacuum across miles of track and varied terrain. Being able to suck out that immense volume of air is problem, being able to maintain that vacuum across MILES is a problem, being able to move vehicles and people in and out of the vacuum SAFELY is a problem. Being able to make a small electric car to speed down a track is not the problem... We have electric trains literally all over the world and they are pretending that this is solving something when the biggest problem has always been the idea of maintaining a vacuum that is on the scale of the great wall of china.... Watch Thunderfoot's videos on the Hyperloop for all the immense problems that these PR stunts are not making any progress in solving.
+CLP Exactly!
oolong2 you think a vacuum is hard to build? No. Building a thousand mile long vacuum is much easier than launching a rocket into space and reusing it. Thundarfeet is a moron.
CLP with your logic cars will never catch on. They don't hold 2,000 people each.
Hey - are all the test tracks straight as an arrow? I'm wondering ... how well will these pods navigate bends in the pipe? Even better - how will these handle splits in the lines without having accidents? I personally feel all this attention to creating a vacuum chamber is nothing but trouble. It creates more problems than it solves. I propose a 90%-enclosed chamber with a ventilated clear strip at the top which can 1) be removed in the event of an accident or stall 2) allow ambient air to gush out the vents in the top 3) allow sunlight to penetrate into the tube 4) all of which will make this far more cheaper to build and operate. FORGET THE VACUUM CHAMBER!!! By making this chamber almost totally round, you will eliminate a tremendous amount of air from having to be evacuated and virtually all side-winds which should markedly improve air friction.
This guy will be hailed as a new Einstein in the future
Is there a chance the track could bend? Not on your life my Hindu friend...
My ring came off my pudding can.
There's only 1 advantage, reduced air drag, and so many disadvantages its hard to list them. Here are some in no particular order: There will likely be no windows, explosive decompression is a huge problem which requires the tube to be very thick and expensive to make,, very high extra cost of vacuuming the air out and keeping it out, very high cost of extra steel for the tube compared to just a raised rail, danger of the tube bending inward during a decompression, no oxygen to breath if the passengers have to exit the train or is in an accident. Train will need oxygen, this is an extra cost, train will need to be designed to be pressurized like an airplane, extra cost there, train will need sealed doors and emergency oxygen masks, Stations will need airlocks, extra rail lines or emergency rail lines will need their own tunnels.
Cars only have one advantage over horses, they go fast, and so many disadvantages its impossible to list them...
Long story short no one should ever make cars.
MsSomeonenew No there are many advantages over horses: Distance, speed, able to hold lots of cargo, holds lots of people, saves lives with ambulances, saves lives with fire trucks, but yes there are disadvantages. The Hyperloop seeks to make a train, a very fast one. We already have those, and they are very fast. Musk wants to build one of those, almost exactly the same, but with no windows, and pressurized cabin, and huge vacuum pumps, and thousands if not millions of pounds of steel, and pressure chambers at stations, and oxygen masks for emergency, and extremely high ticket prices. The hyperloop could go faster, maybe, but at the cost of a danger that will never go away. Just imagine something breaking a strut that holds up part of the tube? Would you like to run into the edge of the tube at 800 miles per hour? Even the bullet trains sometimes have accidents, and they are pretty bad accidents. I would never get into any ground vehicle going that fast. Planes have an advantage of having a huge amount of space around them. You can find airline tickets for 24,000 a seat on some airlines, you have your own little room. So, this whole hyperloop thing could happen, and that'w what your ticket price would probably be.
Beautiful. What a time to be alive.
