An electric hovercraft design without tires and without a fan, but driven by one large/many small linear or stepper motors that build-up and fire Electromagnetic pulses or compressed Air to build thrust.
When he said hyperloop I pictured a normal road with large Metal loops (induction) every mile with smart-meters tracking how much energy you consumed and charging your bank for that amount. Do you remember the games where you have to drive over the yellow arrows to speed up? The same principle.
..still inefficient, even though it's pretty creative and more efficient than all current implementation of car and infrastructure design.
before you ask, yes I know a much more efficient way, but it's useless to explain here, because nobody will listen anyway.
