Kweli kichwa kina kazi nyingi, sio kufugia nywele pekee!
Huko Marekani, injinia na bilionea maarufu anayefahamika kwa jina la Elon Musk (mzawa wa Afrika Kusini na muasisi wa Tesla Motors, PayPal n.k.), kuna siku alisugua kichwa, akawaza ni kwa namna gani anaweza kupunguza kero ya kutumia muda mwingi kwenye safari..
Baada ya kuwaza na kuwazua, akajiundia tu dubwana kichwani litaloweza kukimbia kwa kasi zaidi kuliko ndege. Dubwana hilo akalifkiria sana na kulichorea michakato weee, mwisho akaona isiwe tabu, akalileta wazo lake kwa watu wengine waanzie pale alipoishia.
Kubuuum! Mwaka 2013 akatoa nyaraka ya ubunifu aliouunda na kutaka yeyote anayetaka kukamilisha hilo wazo ajitokeze washirikiane.. Mashirika mengi yakajitokeza na jambo likawa jambo!
Kufupisha story, kuna chombo cha mwendokasi (hyperloop) hivi sasa kinafanyiwa majaribio.. Chombo hiki chenye mfano wa treni kinakadiriwa kukimbia kwa wastani wa Kilometre zaidi ya 900 kwa saa.. Yes, yaani ndani ya lisaa limoja, chombo hiki kina uwezo wa kusafiri umbali wa Maili 400 hadi 600! Hebu fikiria safari ya kutoka Newyork hadi China ndani ya MASAA 2 tu!
Ama kweli Teknolojia inaendelea kuibidua bidua dunia kwa raha zake!
Jisomee kwa kirefu ishu nzima hapo chini..

The Hyperloop is a conceptual high-speed transportation system originally put forward by Elon Musk,[1][2] incorporating reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction motors and air compressors.[3]
The outline of the original Hyperloop concept was made public by the release of a preliminary design document in August 2013, which included a notional route running from the Los Angeles region to the San Francisco Bay Area, paralleling the Interstate 5 corridor for most of its length.
Elon Musk's Hyperloop Dream Has Its 1st Public Demo
Tech startup Hyperloop One is trying to build a new mode of transportation that would involve pods moving at very high speeds through a tube.
Out in the Nevada desert today, the world got a good look at the first public test of the Hyperloop — a concept that could someday become a new mode of transportation.
Don't call it a Wright Brothers' "Kitty Hawk" moment just yet, though. The demo focused on only one piece of a very complicated system.
The Hyperloop, envisioned by Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, would move passenger-filled pods through special tubes at incredibly high speeds — as in possibly crossing the 400 miles between San Francisco and Los Angeles in a mere 30 minutes. Muskoffered up his ideas in 2013, and others got to work trying to build it.
One of the startups that jumped at the challenge is Hyperloop One, formerly Hyperloop Technologies, tested its propulsion mechanism today.Take a look, via CNBC:
"The focus of the test will be more on the propulsion technology — whether it can actually move the sled — than the speed. The track is shorter and there will be air resistance, two slowing factors which will be eliminated in future tests."
On Tuesday, Hyperloop One announced new funding and new partners in transportation and engineering. One of those partners is Danish architect Bjarke Ingels.Gizmodo saysthat Ingels, known for big public infrastructure projects, "will give some much-needed design direction for how Hyperloop One's projects might start to integrate with the cities they're meant to serve." Gizmodo also has this statement from the architect:
"With hyperloop we are not only designing a futuristic station or a very fast train, we are dealing with an entirely novel technology with the potential to completely transform how our existing cities will grow and evolve, and how new cities will be conceived and constructed."
Hyperloop One CEO Rob Lloyd said in a statement that the company would work with these new partners "to redefine the future of transportation, providing a more immediate, safe, efficient and sustainable high-speed backbone for the movement of people and things."
Hyperloop One tested a propulsion motor on a track, one component of the Hyperloop.

So will any of this actually work? NPR's Elise Huasked the questionwhen Musk announced his idea almost three years ago. Electrical engineer Marc Thompson told her it seemed that it would. But that's not the end of the story, said the Worcester Polytechnic professor: "The devil's in the details in terms of testing, safety, passenger safety, egress, vibration, all that engineering stuff."
Former U.S. Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary Emil Frankel also had reservations, which he shared with Elise at the time.
"To talk about these kinds of leapfrogging technology in a context when we can't really adequately maintain our existing infrastructure is really not terribly realistic. At least not in terms of the public policy debate," Frankel said.
Hyperloop One and competitor Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, or HTT, don't seem deterred. HTT is making progress, too,Wired notes:
"We think we will be able to demonstrate full Kitty Hawk capabilities by the end of this year."
