a hyperloop rail system,
Zaha Hadid Architects announced
that it will be collaborating with Hyperloop
Italia to design the "next phase of works" for a planned
near-supersonic network in Italy, "We are looking forward to collaborating with Hyperloop
Italia; marrying transformative architecture, engineering and urban planning
with the most efficient and sustainable transport network to significantly
improve accessibility, connectivity, and well-being in our cities,"
said Zaha Hadid Architects principal
Patrik Schumacher,
"We share Hyperloops Italia's multidisciplinary approach
which combines innovations in design and operational technologies with advances
in ecologically sound materials and construction practices; enabling us to
deliver future-resilient projects that are inventive, structurally efficient
and environmentally sustainable." the video above gives a better idea of the system than I could possibly write, the technology is now being developed by several companies
including HyperloopTT, which has
licenced its technology to Hyperloop Italia for use in Italy, Hyperloop Italia is currently carrying out a feasibility
study on a proposed route between Milan and the Malpensa Airport, which would
reduce travel time from 43 minutes to 10 minutes, the planned network in Italy would be powered entirely by
renewable energy sources and will be capable of producing more energy than it
consumes, "This agreement marks another step forward for Hyperloop
Italia and the development of the fourth industrial revolution," explained
Hyperloop Italia founder and CEO Bibop Gresta, "We are committed to building the most accessible,
convenient and safest transportation system in the world using the new
generation of environmentally friendly materials with a high recycled
content." here is a thought, why do we, that is the UK, still keep railway lines above ground when this idea looks so promising?
