Elon Musk’s Hyperloop Presented by: TEAM CANADA Ben Kennedy, Matt Ritzenthaler, and Christopher Weber

What is the Hyperloop Theoretical new transportation devised by Elon Musk[2] A tube that stretches from L. A. to San Francisco[3] Make-a-tronik Blog http: //blog. make-a-tronik. com/hyperloop-un-nuevo-transporte-conceptual/ 2 Kolawole, Emi. "Musk Unveils 'Hyperloop' Plans. #Elon Musk#.

" Christian Science Monitor (2013): n. page. Lexis. Nexis Academic [Lexis. Nexis]. Web. 29 Sept. 2015.

How Does the Hyperloop Work Uses differences in air pressure on either side of capsule to move[1] Reaches over 800 mph[3] Street Wise Journal http: //www. streetwisejournal. com/hundreds-sign-up-to-help-build-elon-musks-hyperloop/11088/ 1 Kosowatz, J.

What are the Economical and Environmental Benefits Gotta Be Mobile http: //www. gottabemobile. com/2013/08/12/hyperloop-plans/ Reduce the amount of commuters using either planes or cars[3] Lessen carbon footprint[3] Solar panels to produce the energy needed to operate[3] Not including the initial starting energy[3]

Is the Hyperloop Feasible According to multiple sources it is not the most feasible[1] It does not have large backing by California officials[2] Does not have a finalized and foolproof plan of design[3] Pinterest https: //www. pinterest. com/pin/557179785120026843/ Elon is still releasing the updates to his initial concept[3] 1 Kosowatz, J.

Hyperloop’s Current Competition New Fullerton http: //newfullerton. com/2015/09/26/upcoming-public-meetings-for-theca-high-speed-rails-l-a-to-anaheim-project-section/ This train will be the slowest and most expensive per mile high speed train. [3] California has high expectations for it since it is the only feasible plan on the table[3] Currently the space which the hyperloop would occupy is a big prospect for a high speed train[3] Elon backlashed with the comment that California is home to major innovators in technology and the best they can come up with is the slowest “High Speed” train.

The Drawbacks of this Transportation Negative effects of high speed and acceleration[3] Can inflict or worsen health conditions or injuries Hyperloop is not fit for elderly, toddlers or youth, pregnant, anyone with back or joint problems Potential to be the most terrifying thirty minutes of any person’s life Cost of Hyperloop The cost of hyperloop might be in excess of 55 billion USD Although cheaper than other proposals of such magnitude, it has less profit yield Strictly a passenger system and can only operate one vehicle at a time Cost has potential to not be as efficient as rail system already in use The capsule could stop immediately [1] if the pressure on either side changed dramatically [1] Hot Digital News http: //hotdigitalnews. com/hyperloop-trip-from-san-francisco-to-la-coming-in-7 -to-10 -yearsmusk-says/
