Hyperloop is an ultra high speed ground transportation system for passenger and cargo proposed as a concept by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Space X, in 2013
CONCEPT- A capsule full of people in a low pressure tube elevated on pylons that goes really fast.
COMPONENTS- Capsule, tube, propulsion , magnetic elevation, linear motor, the pods will have permanent , magnets embedded within it.
PRINCIPLE- It is just a train enclosed in a tube in which there is very little air pressure and almost no air resistance. The train is levitated and propelled forward by using powerful electromagnets. Hence, principle of hyperloop is based on property of magnetic levitation
WORKING - The hyperloop system consists of sealed and partially evacuated tubes, connecting mobility hubs in large metropolitan areas, connecting mobility hubs in large metropolitan areas, and pressurized vehicles, usually called pods which can move at very high speed. Thanks to no contactless levitation and propulsion system as well ass to the low aerodynamic drag.
ADVANTAGES- This technology offers very fast speed of transportation which is twice that of an aircraft. It has very low power consumption. It is immune to bad weather conditions. It is safe and green mode of transport system. It is earthquake proof.
DISADVANTAGES- Turning will be critical. Insufficient movable space. Many trees will be cut for this that comes in between its way. Frightning experience.
As it has number of advantages , it will be very helpful for transport of public as well as goods in a very short period of time( at a speed of 1220kmph) and also in lower cost.
It is a new concept so there will be some future work required for development of this project.

HISTORY- The hyperloop concept has its roots in the 1800's, under the pneumatic railway atmospheric railway of vactrain. This concept was invented by George Medhurst in 1799 and Elon Musk mentioned hyperloop in 2012 bringing it back to public attention.
As hyperloop will be very fast moving mode of transport so it will have very less turning because of high speed and mostly it will travel in straight path . So, it will be important to cut the trees that will come in between the way. But double or triple tree will be planted beside it or somewhere else .
As a result Hyperloop will be a very helpful and efficient mode of transport with less power consumption.
