technology - which is already used in some transport systems - within a vacuum tube. This would reduce friction and air resistance, allowing the train to travel at speeds of 700mph (1,127km/h).
It is based on the world's fastest magnetic levitation (maglev) trains, then made faster by speeding along inside vacuum tubes. The Maglev train speed world record was set in 2015 when a Japanese ...
Researchers at MIT designed a vacuum-tube train system for a 45-minute trip from New York City to Boston in the early 1990s. Like Musk's plan, the design called for a magnetic track. Throughout ...
