A quarter-mile white steel tube running alongside a railway line in bongdaso nét windswept northern Netherlands could usher in a new era in bongdaso nét transportation of people and freight.
bongdaso nét tube is bongdaso nét heart of bongdaso nét new European Hyperloop Center that opens Tuesday and will be a proving ground in coming years for developers of bongdaso nét evolving technology.
Hyperloop, once trumpeted by Elon Musk, involves capsules floating on magnetic fields zipping at speeds of around 435 mph through low-pressure tubes. Its advocates tout it as far more efficient than short haul flights, high-speed rail and freight trucks.
But since Musk unveiled bongdaso nét concept that he said could shuttle passengers bongdaso nét nearly 400 miles between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 30 minutes, it has progressed at a much slower pace from bongdaso nét drawing board toward bongdaso nét real world.
"I expect by 2030 you will have bongdaso nét first hyperloop route, maybe five kilometers (three miles) in which people will actually be transporting passengers," said bongdaso nét center's director, Sascha Lamme. "Actually there’s already preparations being done for such routes in for example Italy or India."
Not everybody is as optimistic about Hyperloop's future.
"This is just another example of policy makers chasing a shiny object when basic investment in infrastructure is needed," Robert Noland, distinguished professor at bongdaso nét Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, said in comments emailed to bongdaso nét Associated Press.
"It costs too much to build," he added.
Lamme said skeptics should come and take a look for themselves.
"We built bongdaso nét European Hyperloop Center and from what we have built, we know that we can be competitive with high-speed rail," he said. "And then we have not even included all bongdaso nét cost optimizations that we can do in bongdaso nét coming decade to reduce that even further."
bongdaso nét test center's tube is made up of 34 separate sections mostly eight feet in diameter. A vacuum pump in a steel container next to bongdaso nét tube sucks out bongdaso nét air to reduce bongdaso nét internal pressure. That reduces drag and allows capsules to travel at such high speeds.
A test capsule built by Dutch hyperloop pioneer Hardt Hyperloop will take part next month in bongdaso nét first tests at bongdaso nét center that is funded by private investment as well as contributions from bongdaso nét provincial government, bongdaso nét Dutch national government and European Commission.
A unique feature of bongdaso nét Veendam tube is that it has a switch — where it splits into two separate tubes, a piece of infrastructure that will be critical to real-life applications.
"Lane switching is very important for hyperloop, because it allows vehicles to travel from any origin to any destination," said Marinus van der Meijs, Hardt's technology and engineering director. "So it really creates a network effect where you sort of have a highway of tubes and vehicles can take an on and offramp or they can take a lane switch to go to a different part of Europe or to a different destination."
While testing continues in Veendam, hyperloop developers hope that destinations for their technology are forthcoming.
"Really bongdaso nét main challenge is finding government commitments to build routes and, on bongdaso nét other hand, finding new funding to realize bongdaso nét necessary test facility and technology demonstration that you need to do to make this happen," Lamme said.
