Engineers have always been looking for ways to make travelling a lot faster and easier. That’s probably why they have created the Hyperloop.

Hyperloop is a high speed transit system that takes you from one place to another through aluminum pods enclosed inside steel tubes.

This latest edition is an example of that. It was made by a group of students from the Delft University in the Netherlands. The pod measures over four meters long and one meter high.

The team hopes that its design could move passengers from any large European cities that are within one-thousand kilometers in less than an hour.
