Power: It will use solar powers on top of the tubes to provide with energy to the entire Hyperloop. Zero use of non-renewable energies.

yeah that's always an issue with cool tech. But it all comes down to the economics. if it is going to be at least twice as fast as the alternative and still cost the same, it will be done.

Also one more thing it has going for it is that he will not be patenting anything... open source, so it has great potential for 3rd party innovation :up:

Heh yea rite, monorail, monorail, MONORAIL !...

This has been touted since before I was born, everyone remembers those suction tubes in banks before the internet ?. This guy thinks he's a genius for moving the motor from the tube to the engine ?, did he even say how he's planning to get power from the tube to the carriage ? :smirk:

I reckon the idea came from sticking his wifes hair dryer in a drain pipe

Like investment advice, if it sounds too good to be true it is probably best avoided :info:

Old news. Elon Musk, the guy behind the idea, who's also responsible for PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla Motors, already said the idea is too ambitious and he's abandoned the idea altogether. He even said he kind of regrets publicly talking about Hyperloop now.
