| Elon Musk's Hyperloop - this artist's impression gives a War of the Worlds feel. |
Covered earlier in TreeHugger, Musk told Mike that he was
too busy to actually do it himself, saying “I wish I had not mentioned it, I
still have to run SpaceX and Tesla, and it’s f*cking hard.”
However his German design office found patents and plans
that already existed, so instead of starting from scratch they are going to be
using the design that is really not that different from model one, with
electromagnets pulling the train through glass tubes.
Read the Treehugger
story – “Elon Musk announces Hyperloop Model 2 will arrive in 2017.”
(Elon Musk’s
Hyperloop is apparently for the “rest of us” who can’t afford a Tesla Model S.
I suggest that the
world can’t afford a Model S, of for that matter even the cheaper Model 3 as
without the massive space and energy consuming road infrastructure, they are
completely ineffective.
We need Elon tear
himself away from SpaceX and Tesla and devote himself to the Hyperloop – Robert McLean.)
