Eon Musk's Hyperloop Pod Competition II

Eon Musk have always been known for his dedication to implement revolutionary ideas which can change the way we live. This time he wants the innovators all around the world to scratch their heads with him in making Hyperloop transport a reality. His firm SpaceX built Hyperloop system at its headquarters in Hawthorne, California. It's approximately one mile in length with a six foot outer diameter.

The company currently provides these services to innovators and universities interested in high speed transport. In January 2017, SpaceX offered its Hyperloop transportation services to 27 teams from across the country and world in the first Hyperloop Pod Competition at the SpaceX track. The competition’s goal was to accelerate the development of functional prototypes and encourage innovation by challenging teams to design and build the best high-speed pod. Teams put their pods through a litany of tests, which was made possible through our Hyperloop system. This competition was the first of its kind anywhere in the world.

Spacex's first Hyperloop Pod Competition brought in high quality submissions. Based on this event SpaceX has moved forward with Hyperloop Pod Competition II, which will culminate in a second competition on August 25-27, 2017, at SpaceX’s Hyperloop track. The competition will include new and returning student teams, some of which have already built and tested their pods during the first competition. Sole focus of Hyperloop Competition II is on a single criterion: maximum speed with successful deceleration (i.e. without crashing).
