Hyperloop test in development.
A trainee group in Munich simply smashed the SpaceX hyperloop speed record.
WARR Hyperloop, a group of engineering trainees at the Technical University of Munich, won the SpaceX hyperloop pod competitors onSunday WARR’s pod set a competitors record with a leading speed of 284 miles per hour.
We’re thrilled to reveal that our group WARR Hyperloop is the winner of the 2018 SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition!!!!!
We handled to go nearly 50% faster than in 2015, reaching a last speed of 467 km/h (290 miles per hour)!
We’d like to regards thank all our sponsors! pic.twitter.com/YpPTURnHp5

The triumph marked the 3rd time the group has actually won the competitors. WARR’s pod struck a leading speed that was 50 percent quicker than the record it set in 2015, according to TechCrunch.
“After the second competition, we realized we could build something that would run even faster than our previous pod in the tube,” Gabriele Semino, the group’s task leader, stated in an e-mail declaration. “After many months of hard work yesterday we finally got a chance to test our new pod in the tube and show how fast we can go.”
SpaceX, run by billionaire Elon Musk, held its first very first hyperloop competitors in January in 2015, where the winning pod apparently took a trip at 58 miles per hour. The competitors had 2 primary guidelines– all pods need to be self-propelled and the winner is exclusively evaluated on optimum speed without crashing.
Musk praised the group in a tweet.
Congratulations to all groups in the trainee @Hyperloop competitors! To make high-speed pods that can run in vacuum is really challenging. Was terrific to fulfill everybody!

Last December, Richard Branson’s Virgin Hyperloop One checked its own pod, striking a speed of 240 miles per hour. When asked if WARR’s pod is quicker, Semino stated that “it’s rather hard to compare the records in the two facilities, as they are very different in length and propulsion system.”
Hyperloop is an advanced transport idea that can take a trip at almost the speed of noise. Passengers being in a pod inside an almost airless tube that runs underground. The pod is powered by electrical motors and levitated by effective magnets in television.
