Korea plans to build your own Hyperloop

Korea plans to develop a civil supersonic train. According to the plans of the Korean zeleznodoroznogo research Institute, the train will move with a speed of 1000 km/h.


For the development of the project the Institute will join forces with other research centers in the country. As a result, you should see a part that you will get from Seoul to Busan in half an hour. It is still something to get from Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod.

Today the fastest trains travel on magnetic levitation. Such gain 500 km/h. Korean scientists see acceleration in the "Hyperloop-like" technology. The idea of Elon musk of vacuum trains and has captured their imagination. At the Institute saying that they would try to realize ideas in the near future.

We will remind, the idea about the trains-capsules moving in vacuum at supersonic speeds, stated Elon Musk. In 2012, he introduced the concept of transport system called Hyperloop. Due to the absence of friction the theoretical speed of such trains inside vacuum tubes can reach 1220 km/h. the plans of the Koreans are also on the way on which the train is in a highly reduced pressure.



Koreans say that focus primarily on interdisciplinary research and connect the power of its research centers. When it comes to the pipes, which created a vacuum, there are many issues related to security. For example, it is an ideal facility for terrorists. Is to create a small hole in the housing system — the consequences will be tragic. On the security issue Korean scientists have promised to work carefully.

Korea officially becomes another participant Hyperloop-race. Judging by the news, she has to catch up with the leader — company Hyperloop One. It has already started construction of the route for capsules in Las Vegas. Hyperloop earlier One conducted a test of the propulsion system of the future-vacuum trains. For 1.1 second, the prototype clocked up a speed of 100 km/h. Full-scale testing of the system from One Hyperloop will be held this year. published
