Inside, capsules would float on air, traveling at over 700 mph. The air would be sucked by a powerful fan at the front and expelled at the rear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Short of figuring out real teleportation, which would of course be awesome (someone please do this), the only option for super fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment,\" Musk wrote in his proposal, posted online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system Musk envisions is not unlike the pneumatic tubes that transport capsules stuffed with paperwork in older buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case, the cargo would be several people, reclining for the ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coming from almost anyone else, the hyperbole would be hard to take seriously. But Musk has a track record of success. He co-founded online payment service PayPal, electric luxury carmaker Tesla Motors Inc. and rocket-building company SpaceX.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monday's unveiling lived up to the hype part of its name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leading up to the unveiling, done on the SpaceX website, online speculation was feverish. Musk has been dropping hints about his system for more than a year during public events, mentioning that it could never crash and would be immune to weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a Tesla earnings call Thursday, Musk said he is too focused on other projects to consider actually building the Hyperloop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think I kind of shot myself by ever mentioning the Hyperloop,\" he said. \"I don't have any plans to execute, because I must remain focused on SpaceX and Tesla.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he would fulfill his commitment to publishing an open-source design, meaning anyone can use it and modify it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
