Hyperloop One is a company of billionaire Elon Musk, famous for its high-speed train products that can reach speeds of up to 1,220 km / h, just announced the first images in the US desert desert.

Billionaire Elon Musk in addition to SpaceX Company with flights flying to space, he also owns many other companies, which stand out with the Hyperloop One startup project, based in Los Angeles, creating trains running with super fast speed, is expected to start testing later this year.

Hyperloop One Company's Hyperloop is designed to run in a sealed low pressure pipe, making it extremely fast.

Listening through as seemingly fictional, not feasible. But with the newly released images of this company, the transportation in the pipeline is probably no longer a far-fetched idea, but it is about to come true.

The test site is called DevLoop, located in the Nevada desert, west of the United States, currently 500 meters long and weighing over 1 million kg.

When completed in the next few months, this structure will expand with a length of 3 kilometers. The current test system cannot transport passengers, it only runs tests to see how it works.

This project was first proposed by Elon Musk, the company's executive director, in 2012. Initially the idea was to create a new way of transport between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Since Musk came up with the idea, many companies and hundreds of research groups have joined the project. Hyperloop One's propulsion system started in May last year and in October, it announced it will continue to build this project in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

This pipeline runs 159km and takes only 12 minutes if traveling by Hyperloop, the corresponding time when traveling by car is 2 hours.

The company representative said that the pipeline will be completed by 2020, but before putting it into operation, they need to run a test to ensure public safety and its effectiveness.

Expected to open in 2020, Hyperloop will connect two of California's largest cities.(Photo: Hyperloop One).

Although it is the most advanced type of transport to date, many people still question whether technical feasibility and price are reasonable. According to a leaked document, the total cost of Hyperloop of Dubai is up to 4.8 billion USD - that is more than 30 million USD for a kilometer of road.

However, if its real benefits are huge, large costs will not become a worrying issue. Musk said he will not give up his dream of connecting cities with super-fast public transport.
