South Korea has launched a new project that will revolutionize transportation. Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, announced the ultra-high-speed train project on April 9 Hypertube's official launch. With this technological marvel system, train journeys will surpass airplane speeds will be moved to the next level.
Magnetic Levitation and Vacuum Tunnels
Hypertube, magnetic levitation (maglev) The trains will run in almost vacuum (0,001–0,01 atm) tunnels, in an environment where air resistance is minimal, speeds of up to 1.200 km/h It is not only speed but also an eco-friendly journey promises.
For example, existing KTX high-speed train from Seoul to Busan in 1 hour and 52 minutes while driving, Hypertube this distance in less than 20 minute will be able to cover.
$9,27 Million R&D Investment
The Ministry will work on the development of magnetic systems over the next three years. $9,27 million investment This investment will not only develop technology but also South Korea a pioneer of the global railway industry aims to do.
Contribution to Regional Development and Sustainability
Director of the Railway Bureau Yoon Jin Hwan, Hypertube'a will accelerate regional development, he said, could slow down population decline in rural areas while reducing density in major cities. At the same time, greener and more sustainable transportation solutions will reduce environmental impacts.
The New Global Standard in Transportation?
While the initial financing of the project began this year, experts at Hypertube'Fame "game changer" emphasizes that it is a technology. South Korea, this system global dissemination and aims to become a leader in the field of transportation.
Hypertube, worldwide could redefine the future of long-distance transportationCombining efficiency, speed and environmental sustainability, this project could usher in a new era in rail transport.
