Presented by:TEAM CANADA
Ben Kennedy, Matt Ritzenthaler, and Christopher Weber
What is the HyperloopTheoretical new transportation devised by Elon Musk[2]
A tube that stretches from L.A. to San Francisco[3]

hyperloop/11088/
Uses differences in air pressure on either side of capsule to move[1]
Reaches over 800 mph[3]
What are the Economical and Environmental Benefits
Reduce the amount of commuters using either planes or cars[3]
Lessen carbon footprint[3]
Solar panels to produce the energy needed to operate[3]
Not including the initial starting energy[3]

Is the Hyperloop Feasible

According to multiple sources it is not the most feasible[1]
It does not have large backing by California officials[2]
Does not have a finalized and foolproof plan of design[3]
Elon is still releasing the updates to his initial concept[3]
Hyperloop’s Current CompetitionThis train will be the slowest and most expensive per mile high speed train.[3]
California has high expectations for it since it is the only feasible plan on the table [3]
Currently the space which the hyperloop would occupy is a big prospect for a high speed train [3]
Elon backlashed with the comment that California is home to major innovators in technology and the best they can come up with is the slowest “High Speed” train.[3]

The Drawbacks of this TransportationThe 800 mph speed[3]
The capsule could stop immediately[1]
if the pressure on either side changed dramatically[1]
if the surface was not smooth[3]
if there was a slight curve at any point[1]
