Hyperloop: Transport into
the Future
Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum, vacuum pioneer
based in Cologne, imparts extensive expertise in
vacuum technology to one of the most challenging
transportation projects of the future. The GermanAmerican visionary Dirk Ahlborn, CEO of Hyperloop
Transportation Technologies, has set the goal of
making the seemingly utopian idea of Tesla founder
Elon Musk become reality: From 2018 onward,
people shall travel with aircraft speed through a
reduced pressure tube system.
Manufacturer of High Quality
Anti Vibration Products
Before any implementation, however, a multitude of tests and calculations for
the vacuum conditions are required, before the Hyperloop track will be built
in Quay Valley, California starting in 2016, transporting the inhabitants of this
conceptual city. The track will be an eight kilometers long tunnel, to which the
vacuum pumping equipment from Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum is connected.

Thanks to the less weight and the powerful Lithium-Ion-Battery, this
marking unit for durable markings can be carried through the works
premises directly to the work piece. This is very helpful when big and
unmovable work pieces need to be marked. Nearly all materials can be
marked – from plastics, aluminum, stainless steel up to hardened steel.
