하이퍼루프 프로젝트 유럽에서 첫 현실화 Hyperloop is coming to Europe! Superfast tube system will take people across the continent in just 25 minutes by 2020:VIDEO
Hyperloop is coming to Europe! Superfast tube system will take people across the continent in just 25 minutes by 2020
일론 머스크의 하이퍼루프 프로젝트가 점차 현실화 되고 있다.
하이퍼 루프를 개발 중인 HTT사는 현재 유럽의 슬로바키아~헝가리~오스트리아를 연결하는 프로젝트를 추진하고 있다. 개통 목표년도는 2020년이다.
하이퍼 루프는 진공상태를 배제한 긴 공기튜브교통시스템이다.
좀더 상세히 말하자면
완전히 밀폐된 터널(튜브)을 고가로 건설하고 그 안을 낮은 기압 상태로 만든 뒤 그 안으로 1량짜리 열차를 쏘아 날린다는 개념. 열차는 튜브 외부에 설치한 리니어 모터로 가속한다.
슬로바키아의 수도 '브라티슬라바'에서 역시 헝가리의 수도 부다페스트의 자동차로 2시간 거리를 단 10분만에 갈 수 있게 된다.
또 '브라티슬라바'에서 코시체까지 5시간 거리를 25분에 갈 수 있다.
이 프로젝트에 소요되는 비용은 약 2~3억불로 예상하고 있으며 HHT사는 구체적인 협의를 위해 지난주에 양국 정부 관계자들을 만났다.

Hyperloop is a long tube that has had the air removed to create a vacuum
Bratislava to Budapest, about two hours to drive, would take 10 minutes
The project is expected to cost $200 to $300 million (£141 to £211 million)
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) met with officials last week
The future of high speed transport in America could also be heading for Europe.
The Hyperloop transportation system, dreamed up by Elon Musk in 2013, is set to be installed in Bratislava as soon as 2020.
Slovakia is planning to build a system to create routes from Bratislava to Vienna and Budapest and is designed to cut four-hour journeys to just 25 minutes.
The superfast Hyperloop transportation system that was dreamed up by Elon Musk in 2013 might be coming to Europe. Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) met with Slovakian government officials last week to finalise and sign an agreement. Concept of Hyperloop in Las Vegas is shown
Hyperloop is essentially a long tube that has had the air removed to create a vacuum.
The removal of air in a tube allows for the passage of capsules at high speeds. The system maintains passenger comfort whilst accelerating capsules safely to 760mph (1,225km/h).
The tube is suspended off the ground to protect against weather and earthquakes and passengers would sit in either individual or group pods, which would then be accelerated with magnets.
The cost of building a line from LA to San Francisco has previously been estimated at $16 billion (£10 billion) although critics said it would be nearer $100 billion (£65 billion).
Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) met with Slovakian government officials last week to finalise and sign an agreement to bring the system to Europe.
A Bratislava to Vienna route that would normally take around an hour to drive, could take eight minutes at Hyperloop's full speed. From Bratislava to Budapest, which takes about two hours to drive or five hours on trains, would take 10 minutes on Hyperloop. To Košice, a distance of 250 miles, would take only 25 minutes
In particular, they are looking to build a local Hyperloop system with the vision of creating future routes connecting Bratislava with Vienna, Austria and Budapest, Hungary.
'Slovakia is a technological leader in the automotive, material science, and energy industries, many of the areas that are integral to the Hyperloop system,' said Dirk Ahlborn, HTT's boss.
According to Wired, Mr Ahlborn wants the first stage to be complete by 2020.
But the company has not secured funding yet, and the project is expected to cost $200 to 300 million (£141 to £211 million).

WHAT IS HYPERLOOP?
Hyperloop is a proposed method of travel that would transport people at 745mph (1,200km/h) between distant locations.
It was unveiled by Elon Musk in 2013, who said it could take passengers the 380 miles (610km) from LA to San Francisco in 30 minutes - half the time it takes a plane.

'Having a European Hyperloop presence will incentivise collaboration and innovation within Slovakia and throughout Europe,' said Mr Ahlborn.
'With our project in Quay Valley, this agreement with Slovakia, and future developments with other regions of the world, HTT truly has become a global movement.'
A Bratislava to Vienna route that would normally take around an hour to drive, could take about eight minutes at Hyperloop's full speed.
Pictures show what the inside of a Hyperloop capsule will look like. Its maximum acceleration is approximately 1G and the experience is similar to a performance car. Hyperloop uses a combination of alternative energy and conservation techniques
From Bratislava to Budapest, which takes about two hours to drive or five hours on trains, would take 10 minutes on Hyperloop.
HYPERLOOP IN EUROPE
A route between Bratislava and Košice, a distance of 250 miles (450 kilometres), could also be considered.
This would connect the eastern and western sides of Slovakia with a short trip of only 25 minutes, reducing the typical 4.5-hour car ride dramatically.
'Hyperloop in Europe would cut distances substantially and network cities in unprecedented ways,' said Vazil Hudak, Minister of Economy of the Slovak Republic.
'A transportation system of this kind would redefine the concept of commuting and boost cross-border cooperation in Europe.'
'The expansion of Hyperloop will lead to an increased demand for the creation of new innovation hubs, in Slovakia and all over Europe.'
'In 1896 the first electric underground railway system was built in Budapest and already in 1914 the first electric trainline between Bratislava and Vienna was created,' said Bibop Gresta, HTT's COO.
'Slovakia continues to confirm its position as one of the most forward thinking countries by embracing innovations like the Hyperloop transportation system.'
The speed of sound is 767mph, while Hyperloop would travel at 760mph (1,223km/h). Musk had previously suggested a functional Hyperloop system in the US could cost $6 billion (£4 billion), although others suggest the figure will be much higher
Hyperloop is a tube-based transportation system for inter and intra city transport.
Its maximum acceleration is approximately 1G and the experience is similar to a performance car.
Hyperloop uses a combination of alternative energy and conservation techniques such as photovoltaics, wind, kinetic, regenerative braking, and geothermal power to ensure sustainability and low cost.
This suite of energy sources combined with an accelerated, low-cost build, enables Hyperloop to develop rapidly.

According to Hyperloop Technologies boss Rob Lloyd, a test site in Last Vegas where a concept originated by Tesla's Elon Musk, is becoming a viable option for high speed transportation.
The team is planning a prototype of Hyperloop there later this year.
Three Southern California companies are also building separate test tracks to see how well the 'hyperloop' transportation concept works in the real world.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk breathed life into the hyperloop in 2013, when he proposed a network of elevated tubes to transport specially designed capsules over long distances.
Hyperloop will eventually take passengers the 380 miles (610km) from LA to San Francisco in 30 minutes - half the time it takes a plane. The team is planning a prototype of Hyperloop there later this year
