Transport concepts like hyperloops they show us what our future will be like. The idea of being able to travel between major cities in minutes rather than hours is definitely exciting.
But for now it is just an idea and as it seems very far from reality.
If you need something a little closer to reality, take a look at this new magnetic train (maglev) from China.
The prototype presented by researchers at Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, China, appears to be different from other maglev trains. Instead of using liquid helium superconductors at -269 degrees Celsius, the researchers applied high-temperature superconductors, which operate at -196 degrees Celsius and are much cheaper to produce and operate.
This particular train could deliver travel high speed to even more people in the country. A commercially viable one version of the new maglev train is expected to be released within the next six years.
