The next thing to Teleportation is a series i @oluwoleolaide initiated in my second month on Steemit, now it's the 6th episode. Episode 5 was last week and here last four episodes are:

• Episode 5- The Cirrus Vision SF50

• Episode 4- Super Sonic Jet

• Episode 3- THE BOOM SSJ

• Episode 2- The GulfStream G500

Gone are the days of locomotive engines and gliders, transportation is now a beauty and in different dimensions. From sophisticated aircraft's, to driver-less cars and now travel pods. In case you missed any of the previous episodes, feel free to click on them for recaps. In this 6th installment, we shall be looking at Travel pods.

Elon Musk, a popular brain behind fantastic innovations created a concept few years back; the design was basically on pressure tubes to transport humans and materials with relatively reduced pressure, patented pressurized pods that can ride below and above with air cushion mechanisms that are projected by linear induction motors with compressurized air. This travel pods can move on tracks like train or in underground passages specifically designed for it, they are called Hyperloops.

Hyperloops is a new way to move people and things at airline speeds for the price of a bus ticket. It is now on-demand, energy-efficient and safe for use..............Hyperloop One Inc.

Through a futuristic transit system, it is a dream coming exceedingly closer to reality. The first tubes of a full-scale test tracks have been installed in the Nevada desert in the United State of America. Even though some Asian countries are now in full gear to optimize this pods of transportation.

In Japan, the fastest electronic train goes as fast as 603 kph (Kilometers Per Hour), but this special capsules are estimated to travel at close to supersonic speeds of 1223 kph.

Earlier this year,the South Korean Government along with some academic institutions announced plans to create an Hyper-loop train called the Hyper-Tube Express (HTX). It would travel at around 620 mph (Miles Per Hour), meaning that; a 200 miles journey e.g from Seoul to Busan would take 20 minutes...........................CNBC News (20/06/2017)

Scientist and Engineers have debated if this Travel pods is the future of long distance travel, but year in year out commes new innovations, so it is a far-fetched arguments and for now its seems like the fastest mode of transportation compared to Air, Land and sea.

For now, it is safe to say The Nest Thing to Teleportation is the Hyperloop!
