With the #LIMITLESS infrastructure in #Switzerland, we're taking the viable route to make #hyperloop a reality. Instead of going big right away, we developed a reduced-scale model of our hyperloop system. Because it's just way more efficient:
💡 Small Scale. Big Results: Our reduced-scale approach means we cut costs, streamline logistics, speed up development and testing, all while gathering the insights needed to scale to larger systems.
⭕ Infinite Loops. LIMITLESS Possibilities: Having a closed-loop test track lets us simulate endless hyperloop journeys. Well, almost endless, since batteries have their limits.
💥 Breaking World Records: With our partners from EPFL DESL, we've achieved the longest hyperloop journey ever at LIMITLESS – a record-breaking 5.4 km, hitting top speeds of 50 km/h during the trials. But here's where it gets really exciting: this actually translates into a 64.8 km journey and speeds of 600 km/h in our full-scale hyperloop system! Plus, our pod cruised through a total of 40 km in trials. That's equivalent to 480 km in a full-scale system, roughly the distance from Geneva to Stuttgart or from Chicago to Detroit!
🇺🇸 Scaling Up in the US: Sure, you might not fit in the capsule we're using at LIMITLESS. That's only for testing purposes. But the Swiss success story is paving the way for the full-scale hyperloop track in Colorado, US! 100 meters of tubes have already been laid down, and more are on the way!
Onward to the future! 🚀
