Occupy Mars & Hyperloop

Today I went to a Hyperloop presentation and levitation demo at Stanford University. It was super cool. The event was organized by the Science Fiction Society of Silicon Valley, that promotes science fiction that becomes reality.
In 2012 Elon Musk of SpaceX proposed a train system called "Hyperloop" for superfast travel between cities and made his design open to the public. Elon held a competition for Hyperloop builders this January. One of the contestants was rLoop, a crowdsourced company. The founder of rLoop gave a TEDx style talk.
After the talk a colleague with an OCCUPY MARS t-shirt did a demo on a small scale model. The pod (the car that moves in the Hyperloop tube) was levitating by magnets above an aluminum surface. Here he shows the bottom side of the pod. You can see the four rotating magnets.
I processed a soft HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance.
