An Italian startup founded by engineering students will design the suspensions for a futuristic train that will reach 1,000 kilometers an hour, sources said Wednesday.
The Hyperloop is a solar-powered, elevated, tubular transportation system with reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction motors and air compressors. It is the brainchild of Canadian-American business magnate, engineer and investor Elon Musk, who founded the Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) and Tesla Motors, among other companies.
