I don't think the hyperloop requires near vacuum. As far as I understad it is filled with moving air.

- snewman 13y agoIt does require a near vacuum. At high speed, the tiny amount of air in the tube gets compressed to the point where it plays a significant role in the dynamics of the train's motion. So, both are true.
- ye 13y agoAccording to their specs, it's 1/1000 of normal air pressure. http://www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/files/hyperloop_alpha.pdf http://www.spacex.com/sites/spacex/files/hyperloop_alpha.pdf
