The tunnel transports people with magnets at up to 1,000km/h

Europe's longest tunnel testing Hyperloop bullet train technology just opened on March 27 in the Netherlands.

Located at a decommissioned railway hub near the city of Veendam in the north of the Netherlands, the 420 m long white Y-shaped tunnel consists of 34 interconnected pipes about 2.5 m wide

Nearly all the air is sucked out of the tunnel to reduce drag, and the vehicle inside is propelled by magnets at speeds that can reach 1,000 km/h.

The European Hyperloop Center is the only facility in the world with a lane changer, a branch tunnel that branches from the main track to other tracks.

It is known that Hyperloop technology does not pollute, does not create noise and blends in with the scenery in both urban and rural environments.

The energy consumption of Hyperloop trains is much lower than other types and requires less space to operate because the tubes can be easily installed underground or above.

However, many people believe that Hyperloop technology is an unrealistic idea and are skeptical about passengers' experience when rushing through narrow tubes at speeds close to the speed of sound.
