The Hyperloop was a concept that was created by Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and SpaceX. This new concept of transportation involves traveling in low pressure pods through tubes set up around the country. This method of transportation would reduce fuel, time and overall cost. The idea has been in the works for some time now.
Hyperloop One uses the same concept that Musk came up with but is not affiliated with him. Hyperloop one is in its test stages. It is being tested in the deserts of Nevada at full scale. The tubes are about 11 feet in diameter and as of now that have put together about 500 meters of the tube.
This test hyperloop is called the devLoop and it's acting as a test site for the first Hyperloop which is anticipated to be in Dubai. The Hyperloop will be able to transport a pod 100 miles in just 12 minutes.
