Badgerloop Feasibility Tearm & Hyperloop Competition
​
Since 2016, WiHST has been part of the Space X Hyperloop competition as the Feasibility Team for the award winning Badgerloop Team at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From the beginning we have been looking at the feasibility of building Hyperloops. From the cutting edge leviating technology, to desiging the infrastructure, to the economics of operating a Hyperloop; we have done it all.
