Hi all,

A couple of articles on the recent test of the propulsion system of one of the contenders for Elon Musk's Hyperloop concept :

The Guardian : Hyperloop One tests high-speed transport propulsion system

WSJ : Hyperloop One Accelerates Toward Future With High-Speed Test

Interesting and inspiring. A huge number of challenges for this project ... some might say an insurmountable number ... but I find this quite inspiring.

Cheers ...

Love the idea, though continually cutting costs to bring it down to a feasible production level raises some safety concerns for me. Regardless, that's pretty awesome.
