Two people have become the world’s first passengers to ride a futuristic* high-speed transport system known as a hyperloop.
Developed by Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Hyperloop, the technology uses high-powered electromagnets* to push levitating* pods through a tube at up to 1000 kmh.
The company announced this week that two staff members had ridden a capsule at a test site in the Nevada desert in the US for the first time.
Chief technology officer Josh Giegel and Sara Luchian, director of customer experience, hit speeds of 170 kmh on a 500m test track.
