Technische Universität München reports:
There is more information (including a predictable surfeit of hype), including photos and videos, on the project's website
https://tumhyperloop.com .
I appreciate it is up to the academia to investigate speculative designs or solutions, and provide proofs of concept, if possible. Somehow, IMveryHO, hyperloop is a technical curiosity, not a practical solution.
Hyperloops (as the currently are) are primarily test tracks at present.
Whilst they could be useful in theory, there's a number of factors which need to be sorted. For example can you have more than one passenger pod in a section at a time?
If you can only have one pod, then you'll not really want overly long sections, otherwise capacity reduced. However make each section too short and you'll not see significant journey time savings.
Likewise, how are you keeping the air out of the tubes as you put the pods in? Make it so you don't let much air in and it's likely to take time to do, whilst make it quick and you'll have to pump more air back out again to minimise drag.
Of course the big issue is the cost of the stations, as if they're at surface level that's going to be costly (unless they're build on the outskirts of urban areas), whilst if they are underground (as the engineers linked with Crossrail or other tunneling projects will tell you) the cost of the station boxes are the significant costs rather than the tunnels.
