pimplucious: Building the Hyperloop would be just 1/10th the cost of a high speed rail system, and 1/4th the cost of a freeway. Maglev technologies are also extremely energy efficient. Another Maglev system funded by NASA called SkyTran has a near zero energy impact. It uses solar power and needs almost no power beyond that. The power is coming from the sun free of charge and effective.. Sorry to trash your own shallow balloon.. 1 Like |

BarryX: Not to be outdone, HTT recently announced an exclusive deal to license passive magnetic levitation, which employs a magnet and coil system developed in the 1990s. “Utilizing a passive levitation system will eliminate the need for power stations along the Hyperloop track, which makes this system the most suitable for the application and will keep construction costs low,” Bibop Gresta, COO of HTT, said a press release. It's like a freeking car that could be powered either with petrol, ethanol or battery. Hyperloop One is using air propulsion for their system Hyperloop Transportation Technologies or HTT is using Maglev. Hyperloop is a concept and mode of transportation and not what it makes it work. Hyperloop is a mode of transportation that uses either air propulsion or Maglev. Stop confusing yourself with concept and whatever source of power they function on.. 1 Like |

BarryX: Hyperloop Transportation says it will use a ‘cheaper, safer’ form of magnetic levitation Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, one of two LA-based startups working to build Elon Musk’s futuristic transportation system, announced today that it has licensed a technology called "passive magnetic levitation" to power its prototype. The system is "a cheaper, safer alternative" to regular magnetic levitation, or maglev, which is currently in operation powering high-speed trains in China and Europe Were you saying Hyperloop doesn't travel on Maglev?

You guys are gullible.The hyperloop technology is still under development and is not fully tested with commuters.so nobody should come to Nigeria and start making noise on something that is not working in the US yet.it's purely a scam 2 Likes |

Raising unnecessary hope. This would not happen, maybe in 2050 but 2020? For something still in concept phase? Make them talk more believable lie like the Dubai in Nigeria plan or the Abuja Millennium tower which was meant to reach completion since 2010 but in 2016 has not neared 25%. |

BarryX: Both items you quoted are maglev. One is passive while the other is mot passive. Hyperloop is using passive maglev Lagos skytran is going to be passive maglev Same thing. Learn how to read and comprehend.. Question. Does hyper loop travel on Maglev? Yes or No. Answer that question and see who is playing dumb and ignorant. 1 Like |

arresa:neither hyperloop nor maglev technology is operational ANYWHERE in India or Israel especially India right now, I dare you to prove me wrong. The one for Israel is a proposal from this same Skytran and would at best still be under construction stage by now. Stop lying please it's not good for your health |

Re: Lagos: Skytran To Build 40km Hyperloop Track by BarryX(m): 2:50pm On May 15, 2016 |
arresa:You bringing up a design from test designers as back-up to say Hyperloop is Maglev. The original design of the Hyperloop concept propounded by Elon Musk NEVER uses Magnets (Maglev) for propulsion. However in 2015, there was a Hyperloop pod design competition organised by SpaceX where different designers came up with they think could be the commercial Hyperloop prototype and you were dumb enough to post their concepts to massage your lying palletes. http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop The news should have read Lagos builds maglev tracks and not Hyperloop as this is just a ploy to deceive people. You should ask Skytran the conceptual design they intend using for the tracks because I know it is not the Hyperloop concept that I know |

arresa: "The Hyperloop is a conceptual high-speed transportation system originally put forward by Elon Musk, incorporating reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction motors and air compressors. Designs for test tracks and capsules are currently being developed, with construction of a full-scale prototype 5-mile (8 km) track scheduled to start in 2016.[7] In addition, a subscale pod design competition on a very short, 1 mile (1.6 km), test track was built in Nevada – the first tests of the scale model occurred in May 2016"- Wikipedia It's VERY shameful to still be arguing after its been proven that you're telling lies... 1 Like |

arresa:Hyperloop design is different from Maglev. And Lagos is not building Hyperloop and by the way if those two companies are the two companies building your "Hyperloop" where does Skytran come in? |
Re: Lagos: Skytran To Build 40km Hyperloop Track by arresa: 3:46pm On May 15, 2016 |
[s] og2711:[/s] No need for all your nedless essay. Hyperloop is a mode of transportation like car, train, plane and boat.. Hyperloop as a mode of transportation is adapted in different forms, on land, above land and could be powered using different methods like maglev or air propulsion.. Simple. And yes, construction is up and running in Israel and set to come to life in a few months. End of story. |
