超级高铁(Hyperloop)理念分析

超级高铁(Hyper loop)的概念由埃隆·马斯克于2013年首次提出,是指一种在密闭的低真空管道中用所谓的“胶囊”运输乘客和货物的运输系统。尽管该理念的基本技术可行性毋庸置疑,但其具体实施仍然存在未解决的问题,如运输能力低,成本受到低估等。文章介绍Hyperloop理念,并将其与其他铁路运输方式进行比较,以更加理性和批判地看待这一新型运输系统。

Analysis on the concept of Hyperloop

The concept of Hyperloop,first proposed by Elon Musk in 2013,refers to a transport system that uses the so-called"capsule"to transport passengers and goods in a closed low vacuum pipeline.Although there is no doubt about the concept of the basic technical feasibility,there are still some unsolvable problems in its being a reality,such as low carrying capacity and under-estimates of huge cost.This paper describes the concept of Hyperloop and compares it with other railway transport modes,so as to judge this new transport reasonable and correctly.
