Part 2/9:
Hyperloop is an ambitious idea that envisions sleek pods zipping through extensive tubes at incredible speeds, estimated to be around 600 miles per hour (1,000 kilometers). These pods are designed to employ magnetic levitation (maglev) rather than wheels, which means they can float with no friction slowing them down. The system would need to operate at near-vacuum pressure to reduce air resistance, allowing the pods to glide smoothly and swiftly over great distances.
