Hyperloop Transportation Technology (HTT), the company plans next year to start construction of super high speed rail Hyperloop, hoping to give disruptive revolution brought by transportation systems, and "iron man," Elon Musk's idea a reality. The construction of super high speed rail track length is only five miles, speed could not achieve the initial assumption of 800 miles per hour.
August 2013, the Musk in a 57-page white paper, detailing the concept of super high-speed rail, which is a ground pipeline transport network, can scale up to hundreds of miles in length. Benefit from lower air pressure inside the tubes, capsules carrying passengers cars can achieve supersonic speed run.
Five miles of super high speed rail location is tentatively scheduled to the Quay Vally, California, which is located between Los Angeles and San Francisco, covers an area of 7500 acre. HTT would spend 100 million dollars for construction work, and decides also that listing to raise funds in the third quarter of the year.
The company about this building very seriously, because this is not a proof of concept, nor a scale model, but a real practice. Company CEO Dirk Ahlborn says:
"This is not a test track construction. "
Of course, some five miles short, Musk first desire in Southern California and Northern California to build 400 miles of super high speed rail, achieving two and a half hours of commuting time. Take next year's super high-speed rail passengers cannot enjoy the speed of 800 miles per hour, because to achieve this speed, track requires a minimum of 100 miles, however Ahlborn says, speed is not the main objective of super high-speed rail construction.

The building hoping to test station construction, catering, car design and other factors. Ahborn believes that if you want to build a long track, faster speed, and related facilities must be kept up. In addition, it is also a pollution-free public transport system, part of the track and stations powered by solar support operations. Hello Kitty iPad case
Super high-speed rail construction has brought together nearly 200 talented engineers across the United States, they use their free time to do their work, and in return, HTT part will provide them with company stock. Most of these engineers from Boeing, NASA, Yahoo, Airbus, another 25 Department of architecture, University of California, Los Angeles graduate participation together with route planning, car design and cost analysis.
In addition, Quay Valley is a private property, without California authorized the public line right of way, it can be started directly. Quay Hays hopes of being a landlord in the area construction real estate and commercial development projects, but 08 financial crisis caused the project ran aground. But now, super high speed rail project, will certainly be conducive to the development of the project.
Super high speed rail is more of Quay Valley local ad: now the whole world knows, here to build the first Super high speed rail, might want to consider where he had bought a House.
