下月底, 威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的一个学生团队的创意将被装载到一辆拖车上,横穿全国,驶往洛杉矶南部的一个地点, 这里是科技巨头埃隆·马斯克公司的总部所在地, SpaceX公司.
这次高速跑将是150多名威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校学生几个月来工作的高潮, 谁的努力可以帮助马斯克实现超级高铁的想法——一个革命性的运输系统,可以以每小时数百英里的速度在全国各地运送人员和货物——更接近现实.
法官从 SpaceX公司, 马斯克成立了太空运输公司,希望有一天能让人们在其他星球上生活, 将评估华盛顿大学团队的吊舱表现如何, 将其与来自全国各地和世界各地的大学团队制造的车辆进行比较.

Badgerloop团队的太空舱将在位于洛杉矶郊外的SpaceX公司总部的真空管中以每小时200英里的速度飞行一英里.
约翰·哈特,州杂志大卫·范·维恩, Badgerloop的总裁, 这是华盛顿大学球队的名字, 还记得马斯克在2013年介绍超级高铁概念时听说过吗. 尽管这位来自麦克法兰大学的大四工程专业学生认为这个想法很有趣——支持者说它可能会给我们所知道的交通方式带来革命性的变化——但范文并不认为超级高铁是他可能参与创造的东西.
“我不可能真的帮上忙,”他说. “这真是一个疯狂的想法."
但这正是Badgerloop团队和马斯克希望他们能做到的.
尽管特斯拉汽车公司的首席执行官和贝宝的高管提出了这个概念, 马斯克并没有亲自开发超级高铁系统. 而不是, 他向任何想要着手创造它的人开放了他的想法, 而几家与SpaceX公司及其创始人无关的公司也在试图做到这一点 有不同程度的成功.
In 2015, SpaceX公司邀请大学生和工程团队设计和建造他们自己的超级高铁吊舱, 其目标是“帮助加速功能性超级高铁原型的开发”,该公司表示.

约翰·哈特,州杂志“向星星射击”
那年夏天,威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的一群工程系学生响应了这个号召,成立了Badgerloop.
从那时起,西澳大学的团队已经发展壮大,包括工程师、商学院学生和一个营销团队. Members have sold sponsorships and struck agreements with companies for equipment and financial support; developed virtual reality experiences to show the public what their transportation system could one day look like; and built the pod itself, 在真空中高速飞驰的过程中,完善设备的功能.
范·维恩说,Badgerloop项目没有收到学生组织的资助. 虽然该小组有一名教师顾问,成员们寻求其他教授的帮助来建造这个pod, Badgerloop由全日制学生领导, 大部分是本科生.
在去年1月的SpaceX公司竞赛中, Badgerloop吊舱的设计概念在国际竞赛中排名第三, 输给了来自麻省理工学院和荷兰代尔夫特理工大学的团队.
这不禁让人想起硅谷那些炫目的产品发布会, 学生们展示了他们的碳纤维原型舱. 6号在威斯康辛发现研究所用一个戏剧性的视频和专业的照明.
