    Check Out Elon’s New Hyperloop Capsule

    Hyperloop is Elon Musk’s hypefast,blazing transport technology of the future. We have been following its design and progress closely.  The design is simple and the objective is  to transport people through low-pressure steel tubes at speeds to match a typical passenger aircraft. . Hyperloop technology has been in development for six years. Engineers envision a system that uses magnet-powered passenger capsules in a vacuum tube to accelerate travellers to rapid speeds, drastically cutting travel times. We today we have further updates and progress, The first full-size Hyperloop capsule designed to carry passengers at 1,000 kilometers per hour (620 mph) was unveiled. Lets all take a look and marvel and the future of travel.

     

    First Look: Hyperloop Capsule

    The sleek capsule was unveiled Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. Near where it was constructed at the aerospace facilities of Airtificial, a partner of Hyperloop TT.  It is gorgeous in its black,white, gray, red, and blue coloring. Weighting in at 5 tons and almost 100 feet long, dub the  “Quintero One”. This is the magical tube that will connect the world.

    The Presentation took place this afternoon in Spain, the CEO of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, one of several companies racing to deliver on Elon Musk’s dream of high-speed tube travel, unveiled his company’s first full-scale passenger capsule.

    “In just five years we have solved and improved upon all of the technology needed for Hyperloop with our new levitation system, vacuum pumps, batteries, and smart composites,” CEO Dirk Ahlborn added. “This capsule will be a part of one of the most efficient transportation systems ever made.”

    The Final Thought

    As small as this seems and news and developments are monumental. This is like getting a front row seat to the wright brothers experiments. We are hear watching the world evolve and Elon Musk is heading the evolution. Soon they will start the track test for these capsules. Warp speed!

    Elon and Boring Co. is at it Again, This Time Its Legos

    He’s So Cool

    Elon Musk is out again peddling a new one of a kind merchandise from the Boring Co, which is proving to be anything but boring. He took to twitter earlier to tease at the new must have useless gag gift.  First there was the hat, then the ‘not a flamethrower,’ and now Musk has said that the company will produce and sell large, “lifesize” interlocking bricks created using rock collected while the company’s boring machines dig out tunnels under the earth.

     

    What better way to get rid of the organic waste? turn it in to legos. Apparently these will be “super strong,” but with their middles hollowed out to make them lighter and easier to actually move around and use.

    In his tweet Musk states “New Boring Company merch coming soon. Life size LEGO-like interlocking bricks made from tunneling rock that you can use to create sculptures & buildings. Rated for California seismic loads, so super strong, but bored in the middle, like an aircraft wing spar, so not heavy.” He has already stated that the first kit will be  an ancient Egypt motif, according to Musk, which would provide the parts necessary for putting together iconic Eqyptian archaeological wonders like the pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Temple of Horus.

    What Can We Build

    He has not commented on the actual size yet, Im hopping life size or 1/8th scale ? Who wouldn’t want to build a 9 foot Sphinx in there back yard out of Elon Musk’s rock that his tunnel-creating machines excavate from the ground, it would look great next to fire pit and be a real conversation piece, not to mention the HOA fines you would incur… it be worth it just to see Doris’s smug judgmental face.. I digress

    The Boring Company has been drilling holes beneath the headquarters of his rocket company, SpaceX, in LA, as it looks to build a network of underground tunnels for commuters to get around town. All that tunneling leads to excess rock, and you’ve got to do something with it, apparently.

    The Final Thought

    We know it, He has said it, Elon Musk has been chatting about this for a while. He has always wanted find ways to recycle the bedrock it will be removing from its tunnels, with an emphasis on turning them usable bricks.  Musk actually used the term “LEGO-like” when describing the building blocks idea on Twitter. Id worry about legal back lash on anyone else, But Musk can stare off any such litigious suites with a sly inquisitive glance. Yeah hes cool, and he is with out a doubt the “Worlds Most Interesting Man”.
