MIT just revealed its human-size Hyperloop pod

Teams competing in Elon Musk's Hyperloop pod contest are beginning to reveal what their completed pods look like. 

On Friday, MIT posted images of its human-size Hyperloop pod on Facebook. 

The Hyperloop, of course, is a futuristic transport system that carries passengers in capsules at speeds reaching more than 500 miles per hour. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk first proposed the idea back in 2013 and made his research public so others could pursue developing the concept.

While Musk isn't commercially pursuing the Hyperloop, his company SpaceX is sponsoring a contest to find the perfect Hyperloop pod design. 

At the end of the summer, selected teams will compete in the final round of the competition. Each team will have the opportunity to shoot their life-size pod down a one-mile Hyperloop test track.

MIT was the top winner in the last portion of the contest, which was for best overall pod design. 

Its pod is about 8.2 feet long, 3.2 feet wide, and weighs about 550 pounds, according to the design plan it submitted for the contest. It is expected to reach a top speed of 110 meters per second.
