10 Incredible Inventions Which Could Change The Future Of The Planet

3. Hyperloop Transportation System

The conceptual hyperloop transportation system might not have the capacity to reach the same high speeds as the hyperspeed aircraft's 5,150 miles per hour, but with top speeds of around 760mph it would make it the fastest method to get around on land known to man. Inserting pressurised capsules into reverse-pressure tubes which ride on an air cushion and are driven by air compressors and induction motors, the hyperloop system has been likened by its creator Elon Musk as a "cross between a Concorde and a railgun and an air hockey table." The passenger-only version has been estimated to cost approximately $6 billion. Los Angeles to San Francisco is the first anticipated route, although if the technology proves to be efficient and safe there's no reason why we shouldn't expect to see hyperloop transportation systems rolling out in other places. A 760 mph journey through the world's oceans would be an unreal experience worth having.
