Hyperloop: this is the project that will make you travel at 1,000 km/h inside capsules

The world is constantly on the move and people need faster ways to travel. Therefore, the hyper loop It appears as an important alternative thanks to capsules that travel at more than 1,000 km/h, and Zeleros is the company that promotes this mode of transportation.

This type of vehicle is inspired by the train, but with capsules that will travel levitating inside low pressure tubes. It is an emission-free, fully electric propulsion technology and one of its energy sources is hydrogen.

For this work, the Spanish company Zeleros has joined with ITP Aero, one of the main companies of aeronautical components and engines, reported the Aerospace News page. It has a presence in Spain, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Malta and India.

This entry into the project will allow the Hyperloop to have ultra-efficient gas turbines and electric motors powered by hydrogen.

How many people will be able to travel with this vehicle? According to the Zeleros website, each capsule could carry between 50 and 200 passengers. The purpose is to build a global network by 2050, with zero emissions. But, for now, work is being done in Europe.

One of the recent advances in the project occurred in Spain, at the ArcelorMittal Railway Center of Excellence, where the steel that must withstand speed is being tested. And Spain is one of the countries that has already joined the installation of the Hyperloop. Zaragoza City Council would become a node in the south of the continent, within the future transport network.
