Abstract
Hyperloop mass transportation systems are actively developed at the moment. They represent the forefront development of the Zero Energy Transportation systems where air drag is minimized by travelling in a vacuum and friction is reduced by non-contact bearings. Hyperloop supporters are confident that the cost of their transportation systems would be low compared to existing transportation systems because of the low loss and therefore low energy consumption as well as other cost-saving techniques documented in the Hyperloop Alpha specifications. However, there are other published designs in the form of patents that may improve on the designs of the Hyperloop systems so that sustainable mass transportation systems can be realized.
Highlights
Moving a large number of people and goods is vital in order to progress and survive in the coming future.Current technology in mass transportation systems consume too much energy and are not sustainable in view of the global warning issues
The Paris climate change agreement proved that the majority of the world believe that global warming is a very serious issue that determines whether humans will be able to survive in future [1] [2]
One way of reducing air drag is to travel in a vacuum
Summary
Current technology in mass transportation systems consume too much energy and are not sustainable in view of the global warning issues. Improved mass transportation systems need to be developed if we are to achieve the resolutions as agreed in this and similar climate change conventions. Vacuum tunnel mass transportation systems had been proposed in the past [7] but there was no mention of any innovative way of producing the vacuum. Current developments of vacuum mass transportation systems can learn from earlier inventions.
