Really? I thought it was already established that the Hyperloop is a vactrain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vactrain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vactrain). Using small cars (say, six passengers) accomplishes the "leaves when you arrive" and putting solar panels on top of the tunnel accomplishes the storing energy part. I wonder what the alternative would be and what its advantages over a vactrain would be.

- andrewflnr 13y agoSolar panels don't store energy. They only convert it.
