Hyperloop One is reinventing transportation by developing the world\u2019s first Hyperloop, an integrated structure to move passengers and cargo between two points immediately, safely, efficiently and sustainably.<\/p>\n

\n

This test was Phase 1 of a multi-phase program and was privately conducted on May 12, at the company\u2019s test track, \u2018DevLoop\u2019 in the Nevada Desert. The vehicle coasted above the first portion of the track for 5.3 seconds using magnetic levitation and reached nearly 2Gs of acceleration, while achieving the Phase 1 target speed of 70mph. The company is now entering the next campaign of testing, which will target speeds of 250 mph.<\/p>\n

\u201cHyperloop One has accomplished what no one has done before by successfully testing the first full scale Hyperloop system. By achieving full vacuum, we essentially invented our own sky in a tube, as if you\u2019re flying at 200,000 feet in the air,\u201d said Shervin Pishevar, co-founder and executive chairman of Hyperloop One. \u201cFor the first time in over 100 years, a new mode of transportation has been introduced. Hyperloop is real, and it\u2019s here now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hyperloop One tested all the system\u2019s components, including its highly efficient motor, vehicle suspension, magnetic levitation, electromagnetic braking, vacuum pumping system and more, proving the full system\u2019s components operate successfully as a single integrated unit in a vacuum. Nearly 200 engineers, fabricators, welders, etc. dedicated thousands of hours to make this test successful.<\/p>\n

In addition to announcing the private test, Hyperloop One also unveiled the prototype of its Pod that will work within the integrated system. Using electromagnetic propulsion and magnetic levitation, the Pod will transport passengers and cargo inside the tube. Hyperloop One\u2019s Pod is the only vehicle in the world that, with the company\u2019s proprietary linear electric motor, achieves autonomous high-speed propulsion and levitation in a controlled low-pressure environment. Made of structural aluminum and a lightweight carbon fiber, the shell measures 28 feet long.<\/p>\n

Hyperloop One will continue to run tests at DevLoop in the coming months to validate its next-generation components and software. The next phase of testing will showcase the Pod gliding along a longer track at faster speeds.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team is the only team that is actually making Hyperloop happen, and we\u2019ve spent more time testing a Hyperloop system than anyone in the world,\u201d said Josh Giegel, co-founder and President of Engineering of Hyperloop One. \u201cTo make Hyperloop a reality, we built and tested the actual hardware, gathering valuable insight along the way. Now that we\u2019ve tested our Hyperloop system, we know it works, and we\u2019re ready to deploy it to the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHyperloop One will move people and things faster than at any other time in the world,\u201d continued Pishevar. \u201cWith Hyperloop One, the world will be cleaner, safer and faster.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to make the world a lot more efficient and will impact the ways our cities work, where we live and where we work. We\u2019ll be able to move between cities as if cities themselves are metro stops.\u201d<\/p>\n
