Enlarge this image Tech startup Hyperloop One is trying to build a new mode of transportation that would involve pods moving at very high speeds through a tube. Hyperloop One hide caption toggle caption The Wall Street Journal wrote earlier in the day: "The focus of the test will be more on the propulsion technology — whether it can actually move the sled — than the speed. The track is shorter and there will be air resistance, two slowing factors which will be eliminated in future tests." On Tuesday, Hyperloop One announced new funding and new partners in transportation and engineering. One of those partners is Danish architect Bjarke Ingels. Gizmodo says that Ingels, known for big public infrastructure projects, "will give some much-needed design direction for how Hyperloop One's projects might start to integrate with the cities they're meant to serve." Gizmodo also has this statement from the architect: "With hyperloop we are not only designing a futuristic station or a very fast train, we are dealing with an entirely novel technology with the potential to completely transform how our existing cities will grow and evolve, and how new cities will be conceived and constructed." Hyperloop One CEO Rob Lloyd said in a statement that the company would work with these new partners "to redefine the future of transportation, providing a more immediate, safe, efficient and sustainable high-speed backbone for the movement of people and things." Hyperloop One tested a propulsion motor on a track, one component of the Hyperloop. Joshua Caldwell of Cryptic Butterfly Photography/Hyperloop One hide caption toggle caption
