Hyperloop (3D)

About this app

A pod in a partial-vacuum tube, levitating magnetically and driven by a linear motor. Pressure, speed and blockage ratio control the drag live: at high pressure and with a large pod the air piles up ahead of the nose (Kantrowitz limit), and only vacuum and a slim pod make it efficient. In the bend the pod tilts, and if the radius is too tight the lateral acceleration is exceeded. Plus a comparison of energy and travel time with truck, freight rail and air freight.
