In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. — Stephen Jay Gould (1941 - 2002)
I personally chipped in to rLoop's Indegogo campaign as soon as I learned they were using http://fusion360.autodesk.com" rel="noopener noreferrer - Autodesk Fusion 360 to design a Hyperloop pod.
Remember when Elon Musk proposed a Hyperloop that would transfer people from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 30 minutes? Formed on social media site Reddit, http://rloop.org" rel="noopener noreferrer - rLoop.org is a non-student team that reached the final stage of the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition and is pursuing successful manufacture of their Hyperloop pod to make safe, cost-effective, and efficient high-speed transit a reality.
I was thrilled to be able to meet the team at Autodesk University (AU) 2017. Here's a video, taken at #AU2017, that shows their technology in action.
At the beginning of October, rLoop announced that they are taking their community onto the Blockchain — a digital ledger in which transactions made in bitcoin or another cryptocurrency are recorded chronologically and publicly. Their new website is now live, and you can check it out at http://www.rloop.org" rel="noopener noreferrer - www.rloop.org where you can view a http://www.rloop.org/pdf/rLoop_one_pager.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer - one pager and learn more about their plans.
