Hyperloop one successfully completed another round of testing in the Nevada desert and hit a new milestone in its quest to make the concept a reality its Hyperloop pod xp1 reach speeds of up to 192 miles per hour during the test and covered over 1,400 feet of track that's a massive improvement over the scale test back in May 2017 which only covered about 315 feet of track and topped out at speeds just under 70 miles per hour this phase two tests depressurized the tube to reduce friction on the pod while it moved the equivalent would be about two hundred thousand feet above sea level Hyperloop one says all systems performed well during the test as for what's next TechCrunch spoke with Hyperloop one CEO Rob Lloyd who said quote we are actually now starting to install the concept of an airlock so that will have an entry and exit way to load the pod which will then inform station design and other parts of the overall system if you're not familiar with Hyperloop the idea is magnetic levitation and pressurized tubes used to propel a pod at high speeds making long-distance journeys much much shorter this Hyperloop one concept video from 2016 shows off its vision of transporting people 100 miles in under 15 minutes we'll be keeping our eye on Hyperloop ones progress on cnet.com I'm ashley Esqueda be good humans
