Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Dubai's racing to build the world's first hyperloop
Hyperloop? It is a mag-lev, magnetically levitating, vehicle that travels in a sealed tube. Since it travels free of, or with much less air resistance and friction, the speed could reach as fast as a passenger plane. It is suitable to transport passengers or objects between distant places like between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Helsinki and Stockholm under the Baltic Sea. Another proposed routes in the Arabian Peninsula is to link Dubai with the greater United Arab Emirates.
Though the hyperloop concepts sound like solving problems like air pollution and congestions at a speed of a jetliner, there are questions about its technological and financial feasibilities to build and operate such a costly transportation infrastructure where there are other alternatives already in use.
Enjoy watching the video to learn what the Hyperloop concept is like.
