No, this is not a trip in a Hyperloop vacuum tube, this is the shuttle tunnel that connects the terminals at Zürich airport. The shuttle is a self driving train. I sat at the front to take this motion blur exposure.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposures, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves.

Cannot wait to take a ride ;-)

The 4th photo on my “Hyperspace Bypass” series is based on a futuristic train tunnel concept. The edge of the circular light blade was decorated using red, blue, and black sharpie ink. Diffuser material was used on the input edge of the blade for more even light distribution. The photo was taken whilst moving the light blade (side on) away from the lens in an arc. Just to prove that I’m not an ambiturner, this one has a left hand curve! A relatively wide aperture was used for a narrow area of focus, and the Nitecore P10GT was used for it’s unusual PWM effect.
LPB Plexiglass Circle, connected via LPB Universal Connector to a Nitecore P10GT flashlight. f/6.3, 1.6secs, ISO400. Post processed from RAW exposure in Adobe Lightroom 6.
This Vinean vehicle, appears for the first time in :Yoko Tsuno comic series - The Curious Trio by Roger Leloup.
There is also in the book : The Forge of Vulcan.
In Original text, and in french, the exact word is "Magnétoporteur". Translate in “Electro Sender” in English version. But this translation sounds bad. Word by world, Magneto Carrier sound better.
it is a "style of futuristic magnetic train" used by the Vineans (humanoids aliens). For the inspiration picture : downthetubes.net/?p=210 or here downthetubes.net/?p=17979
The Electro Sender work in a electromagnetic tube/corridor. It is named also "magneto-carrier" on some fan-websites of Yoko Tsuno. Or if you prefer, it is Futurist Hyperloop , already in the comic since 1974 !

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.

that's only $13.16 for an 11 x 14 inch HD glorious 2019 calendar. if you enjoy my work you will love the calendar. it's very handsome. most of the images in these 2 version are recent with a mix of abstractions and typical photographs of my usual grunge and debris.

With Me - Without Me
She used to be a famous athlete and a mother. In another life, before the hyperloop crash, six years ago.
She was rescued and given new legs by the all-powerful Kirkland corporation. Their investigation indicated that cyber-terrorists targeted the IA that ran the European hyperloop system and caused the crash. They said she could join their security forces, and avenge her family.
So Helena began chasing criminals, her Tālāria legs allowing her to run faster and jump higher than ever before. She wasn't sure of what she was exactly, between a cop and a mercenary, but she was good at what she did. She almost enjoyed it.
But she never found those responsible for her accident. Until last week, when she discovered the truth : there were no cyber-terrorists, it was just a story they made up to cover the malfunction of their IA and give her motivation to use her to do their dirty work. Kirkland corporation is the real responsible of the loss of her family. How do you fight the most powerful company in the world ?
A Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and/or freight transportation, first used to describe an open-source vactrain design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX. Drawing heavily from Robert Goddard's vactrain, a hyperloop is a sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod may travel free of air resistance or friction conveying people or objects at high speed while being very efficient, thereby drastically reducing travel times over medium-range distances.
