I stepped into the world's first hypards

I will drive from Malaga to Cadis.Today (October 3rd) is the day of the Hyper Poop announcement.

I just wondered, "Is it a two and a half hour distance at 240km ... how many are high pearl soup?", But I don't like tunnels on such a mountain path, at least my eyes are unlikely to be realized ...When I thought, I was surrounded by the dense fog in the Gibraltar Strait."It's like the future of Hyper loop," I think alone.No one knows where they are.I thought that the fog would be a little clearer when I went to the interview, but the honest impression was that it was getting darker.

As with electric vehicles, the idea of ultra -high -speed vehicles that connects two points in a tunnel has been around 100 years ago.It suddenly came to attract attention because Elon Musk raised the concept in 2013.

・ Reduce air resistance by removing air with a vacuum pump

・ Like an air hockey, float in the air and reduce friction

・ Include a linear motor

"Hyper -loop" is the one that has the three features of "Concorde and Railgun"!I heard that, "By the way, the company is so hard that everyone should do the rest," and disappeared, and the underlying TESLA and SpaceX engineers released the basic concepts on page 57, and the largest in human history.Open source project in the hardware field has started.It is often as remembered that concepts and simulations from students and engineers around the world gathered like a mountain.

Only two companies that have gained enough funding to realize are Hyperloop One and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT), and the latter HTT has been in the interview this time.

The company leads the company by Italian inventor Bibop GRESTA."Sheman laughing like a mappet with a Tony Stark -style beard. In the past, he was a rapper, performed as a stage performer, and served as a moderator in the Italian version of MTV (WIRED).is.In WIRED interviews, the competitors said, "Everything is my copy. It's a copy of the logo."This time, I was able to make a reporter announcement of the actual large capsule in Spain this time.

"Hyper -loop has already been trademarks in 57 countries, but it's good to have competition," GRESTA says.In the case of GIZMODO, the impression is that the corners are quite round and round.I arrived at 8:30 because I was invited to see how the super -eating party was surrounded by the founding members before the public release.GRESTA (real name is Gabriele) welcomed with perfect beard and smile, and recording it reluctantly acknowledged.

In the interview, I first asked the difference from the initial concept of Elon.When GRESTA answered, "It's similar," Dirk Ahlborn said, "It's not very different."The two met at the LA tech event, and introduced the story of the high pearl soup of Elon Musk, and GRESTA said, "It's crazy, but if you do it correctly, the whole humanity will change.It will be a power, "he said, he immediately came up with cooperation.

Elon's high pearl loop is an air compressor with an uniform pressure in the capsule, sending air under the wheels to realize the glunning.It will exceed the level that passengers can withstand.The HTT has noticed this, so the HTT has been noticed by an electromagnetic induction floating system called "Indacrack".It is a technology developed by the Lawrence Liva More Research Institute in California in the 1990s.

Unlike an active magnetic floating, the point is that induction does not require electromagnetic or electricity.The base of the capsule (vehicle) is a permanent magnet, and this magnetic direction is the opposite of the magnetic direction produced by the rail coil.It does not float when it is still.It is usually parked on the rail.However, when accelerated, the base magnet creates a voltage on the coil, and the body floats naturally.If you actively add something, the cost will be over budget, but you do not need it.This reduces friction.The power of the moving part is a linear motor.This is driven by the battery in the capsule.Like an electric car.

"Move the capsule with solar power generation," said Elon Mask in the past, but "I combine the power from the upper solar panel, the athletic energy obtained from the movement of the capsule, and the regenerative brake system.In an environment where solar power is insufficient, geothermal is also geothermal. It can secure electricity that exceeds the power used by it, "says GRESTA.Because it is a business talk, it is all present, but all of this must be replaced with future forms.HTT has realized the part of the capsule shell, no motor, magnet, or even seats yet.

Of course, making a shell is a big milestone.This "Quintero One" is the world's first full -scale high phaloop capsule.The design was designed by PRIESTMANGOODE, a design office known for the new design of the London subway (tube), and manufactured by Spain's "Carburs".When I asked PAUL PRIESTMAN chairman and designer of Producing's most hard work, he said, "The key is air -mechanics. The air hitting the hyper -loop is close to an airplane flying 9,000m above the air, so reducing air pressure considering air mechanics.Is important. Because it is an autonomous driving, there is no need for windows in front, and in that sense it can be said that it is an unprecedented design. "

On the other hand, CARBURES, Spain, is really hard to realize Priestman's paintings, and employees have been working for a month without a break except weekends."I'm really grateful to do my best in Spain to do my best without taking summer vacation," said AHLBORN CEO (German -born American entrepreneurs), and the venue was a bit hard for a moment.Immediately, the moderator laughed, saying, "It's hard anywhere in the world!

On the day of the announcement of Kintello One, Carbures changed its name to "AirTificial".Put "I" in artificial and with Airy Teifical.The company is a company born from Cadis University and manufactures parts made of airbus and Boeing carbon fiber.In 2013, the stock price crash was suspended due to a large stock price crash, and it was a business crisis.The co -founder Rafael Contreras is a co -founder of the motorcycle share service "MUVING", which has spread to Atlanta in the United States in the Spanish urban areas.The face of another company is Ramón Betolaza, a Spanish inventor.He has begun the rescue of Carbures, a management crisis, and is now joining HTT officers.

Kintello One is a difficult work that HTT and AirTificial were designed by 21,000 hours for design and 5,000 hours to assemble.Weight 5 tons.85%are carbon fiber.HTT calls this "Vibranium" for the fictitious metal of the Wakanda kingdom that appears in the Marvel work "Black Panther".It is a double -structured patent material, with 82 carbon fiber panels and 72 sensors, and can be detected immediately if there is a problem with the body.The capsule length is 32m.Half is for passengers and the capacity is 30.

The name "Kintero One" was named "Jumpstartfund" from the late space scientist, Andrew Kintello (in the 2014 water accident), a spacecraft who co -founded with Dirk Ahlborn CEO.JUMPSTARTFUND is an incubator that supports collaboration, and is a system that provides money and manpower for people around the world to realize startups.

The HTT itself was a company that was born from AHLBORN's announcement of the basic concept of Elon Musk in Jumpstartfund and 800 volunteers offered to cooperate. From there, collaboration between famous top -class companies such as NASA, SpaceX, and Boeing began, and when you are at home or when you are off at the company, you are using a simulation to exchange ideas. They are not paid, and they are all paid for stock options (new shares that can make a lot of money when they are listed and raises their own stock). "The great entrepreneur of the future. It's a model that has been taught at Harvard University since 2017," said GRESTA. Well, there is no only volunteer (which is called "contributor" in the company)), and there are some employees who have signed a conventional employment contract in HTT, and that is the main team. In the sense, I think it's an incomplete model.

Well, finally, we have arrived at AirTificial.The Carbures logo has disappeared from the entrance, but it is Carburs.There were two security guards and were checked with eyes.If I thought it was strict, that should be it, and the political Governor Andalusia and the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Spanish, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry were coming to the venue.When I wondered if the government was helping public funds, Dirk Ahlborn said, "No."

In August, the competitive Hyperloop One announced the first test site construction in Antquela City in the neighboring prefecture of Malaga.It is said that the Spanish Railway Management Bureau "Adif" helps, and is claiming 126 million euros in advance.Railways cost money, so it is very difficult to realize without public assistance.Both HTT and Hyperloop One are negotiating with the government by management flying around countries.The first country of both companies is the United Arab Emirates.If you ask here, it is not impossible.The next thing I went to Korea, Ukraine and China.Elon Musk talked about his dream of connecting San Francisco and LA, but when he considering the astronomical land prices in the United States, it will be.BIBOP GRESTA said, "UAE -like countries are much more visual than the United States."

Well, you can talk as much as you want in the future.The only thing I showed in Cadis.It is a skeleton with a lot of promises.Kintello One, which appeared in front of politicians, investors, and reporters, as the countdown began, the sound source sounded, the curtain was cut off, and the Kintello One, which appeared in front of the politicians, investors, and reporters, is a much more straightforward body than PriestMangoode paintings.For those who have been looking only at the concepts that are not feasible for Eron Musk, probably because of the fact that they have been waiting for this moment for five years, because the contents are empty, or because of the practical version with no window.A little disappointing feeling.

Nos Han Invitado a la presentación de la primera cápsula de Hyperloop a escala Real.SE Fabricó en cádiz confono Yes Difrente Al Concepto Inicial de Elon Musk, Que Levitaba Con Aire.ESTA SE BASA En Levitación Magnética Pasiva.pic.twitter.Com/FGXFQ7T5ZD

I wasn't allowed to shoot in the empty. There was no comment on the future design. What I felt when I stepped into the capsule was not the "Transportation Revolution Fifth Wave", but the feeling that it was like a toothpaste tube. When I asked, "What will happen in the future? This Kintello One", "I'm thinking about introducing a safe and comfortable material like Kevler fibers" (GRESTA), "Become a completely different experience" (Priestman. " )apparently. When I asked, "Is the ride better?" Speaking of Dirk Ahlborn CEO, "the ticket will be free and cover with advertising revenue", GRESTA says, "It will be a system to pay with a blockchain and biological sensor." "In any case, if the ticket is about $ 30 (about 3300 yen), you can get the initial cost in eight years," AHLBORN CEO said.

In the future, it will be transported to Toulouse's development center, and the rest will be assembled there.HTT says that it will be ready in 2019.But wait.The capsule is not the center of development, and the most difficult thing is the low -pressure tube where the capsule passes.This requires hundreds of vacuum pumps.It is difficult to dig straight, so there are turns and hills.Moreover, the speed and deceleration must be smooth so that humans do not vomit or faint.This is why hyperhape is said to be impossible to realize.The capsule's movement speed is neither the speed of sound nor the existing one.How do you adjust such high -speed and complex terrain?If you make a step even one step, you will fly somewhere with Pune.

I imagined the way back to Malaga, flying in Hyperoop. I thought at the event, "It's like an airplane without wings." The airplane is flying over the air and overcoming air resistance. But Hyperpard is trying to do it on the ground. HTTs and other companies have to overcome earthquake motions, and even if one tack is gaps, they will go straight. If it succeeds, it will be a high -speed moving body in the future. Can you go that far? I can't say anything yet, but one thing I can say is that Hyper loops are far away from the initial concept of Elon Musk. Air bearing (axis receiving), ultrasonic speed, solar power generation, which disappears from such things, and the brand remains. A politician is jumping there. The possibility that the road of realization will open from there is no zero.

The morning mist is already sunny and the blue sky is spreading.However, the distrust of Hyperphape is not clear.I'm just worried about safety, so it doesn't make sense to show the carbon fiber capsule.The world's longest railway tunnel is the Gottald -Base Tunnel in the Alps in Switzerland, but it took eight years from the start of construction.The distance is 94 miles (about 152km).The high pearl loop is trying to do it many times, tens of times.It takes years to get the consent of farmers along the road.The pointed "Hyper -Pearl Face" (Priestman) was cool, but there was a big mountain in reality in front of the tunnel.
