Imaginează-ți cum ar fi să ajungi din Cluj în București în doar 15-20 de minute!Acum pare un pic ireal, dar dacă stai să te gândești, și trenul, mașina, sau avionul, înainte să fie create, păreau dintr-o cu totul altă lume. Toate au avut nevoie de câteva minți sclipitoare care să creadă într-o idee „nebună”, pentru a putea deveni mijloacele de transport folosite de noi, azi.Hyperloop – sistemul de mare viteză bazat pe tuburi vidate, descris de Elon Musk prin 2013 – începe să prindă contur și să nu mai fie chiar out of reach. Sunt deja oameni care lucrează intens să găsească cele mai bune soluții de implementare a unei astfel de tehnologii, iar invitatul meu de azi este unul din ei.În acest episod, Denis ne povestește ce înseamnă hyperloop și ce presupune construirea unei capsule care, dacă are infrastructura potrivită, poate ajunge la o viteză de 1200 km/h. În același timp, vorbim și despre hopurile peste care trebuie să trecem pentru a avea o astfel de tehnologie, care este momentan statusul în acest domeniu și ce experimentează acum cei de la Swisspod.Te invit să asculți întreaga discuție, pentru că e plină de povești fascinante despre care cu siguranță se va scrie în istorie!Despre Denis:Denis Tudor este „Românul care aproape a lucrat la SpaceX”, și este CEO și cofondator al Swisspod Technologies – o companie din Elveția care construiește capsule pentru hyperloop.Denis este absolvent al Facultății de Politehnică din București, iar pasiunea pentru acest domeniu a apărut în urma anunțului făcut de Elon Musk, în care invita inginerii din toată lumea să participe la o competiție organizată în scopul dezvoltării acestei tehnologii.Cum a ajuns Denis să participe la acea competiție? „Din noroc” spune el, însă în urma discuției pe care am avut-o, sunt mai mult ca sigur că și curiozitatea, motivația, și capacitatea de colaborare au jucat un rol foarte important.Am fost curios să aflu:Cum ai ajuns la hyperloop? (06:58)De ce v-au dat premiul de inovație? Ce ați avut voi diferit față de ceilalți? (36:48)Cum a fost interacțiunea ta cu Elon Musk? (38:15)Să zicem că treci de pasul ăsta în care reușești să "prove the concept". Ce îți propui tu la următoarea rundă de investiții? (01:05:24)Am senzația că challenge-ul cel mai mare la sfârșitul zilei e de fapt infrastructura, pentru că voi creați un produs pentru o infrastructură care încă nu există, corect? (01:07:53)Cu ce ai vrea să rămână oamenii, după ce ascultă episodul? (01:19:00)Cu ce poți rămâne din acest episod:Cum s-a format echipa rLoop și cum au câștigat primul loc la categoria Design, din competiția lui Elon Musk. (10:08)Prin ce metode au strâns banii și resursele necesare pentru a crea primul prototip de capsulă. (19:01)Cum a fost experiența lui Denis de a lucra la primul prototip, în State. (25:39)Povestea competiției în care echipa lui Denis a luat Premiul pentru Inovație. (30:17)Motivul pentru care Denis a hotărât să părăsească rLoop. (40:30)Cum și-a format Denis o echipă, în Elveția, cu care să meargă din nou la Competiția Hyperloop. (44:40)Care a fost singura greșeală a echipei din Elveția, când au testat capsula în competiție. (54:16)Ce l-a împiedicat pe Denis să se angajeze la SpaceX, deși a primit o propunere. (56:25)Cum s-a născut Swisspod. (57:35)Ce investiție plănuiește Swisspod să atragă și la ce va folosi banii. (01:00:40)Care este una din problemele construirii unei infrastructuri pentru hyperloop, și cum pot veni în ajutor cei de la Swisspod. (01:11:41)Cum a ratat Clujul oportunitatea să beneficieze de capsulele hyperloop. (01:13:35)Motivele pentru care clasa politică, în general, ține în loc dezvoltarea infrastructurii pentru hyperloop.

In this episode, Hall welcomes Breanna Faye of Rloop Incorporated. Breanna is a trained architect, designer and Experience Design Lead at rLoop, a SpaceX award-winning, globally-distributed organization currently developing the Hyperloop. With a background in MIT's Media Lab and Department of Advanced Urbanism, her research emphasizes the link and impact between cities, people, and transportation technologies. Her experience has led her to tackle projects from urban scale to product scale, including the hyperloop, autonomous vehicle concepts, and gps-enabled bike helmets. With rLoop, the aim is to decentralize high-technology and design solutions by utilizing Blockchain and crowdsourcing technology. Hall and Breanna talk about Best practices for starting and running a blockchain company and blockchain trends. In this episode, you'll also learn Breanna's advice to people investing in blockchain startups as well as challenges, risks and immediate opportunities to pursue. Breanna is joining us as a guest speaker this October at the Emerge ICO Summit in Austin Texas.

Brent Lessard is the co-founder and project manager at rLoop, a SpaceX award winning globally distributed and crowd-sourced organization with over 1300 members for more than 50 countries. Brent also serves as an advisor to the president of Durham College for the school of Science and Engineering and was recently awarded the Ontario's Premier Award for his work within his local community as well as rLoop. rLoop is working to revolutionize the future of transportation. Through open-source and collaborative design, a prototype was designed, manufactured, and tested entirely by the crowd, capable of travel at hyper speeds, enabling people to get where they need to go, faster – much, much faster! Simultaneously, rLoop is reimaging how people can collaborate together on complex and interdependent work by leveraging blockchain technology. In 2015, Elon Musk announced through SpaceX that they were going to host a competition open to independent and student teams where they would build and provide the facilities to test these vehicles and would allow certain number of teams to manufacture prototype vehicles to come around for testing. This competition landed Brent and his team several awards, including the Best Non-Student Design which gave them the permission to build their prototype along with 27 other teams out of 1800 submissions. They also won the best Pod Innovation Award where SpaceX acknowledged the complexity of their system and the unorthodox way in which their team come together.   “We dreamed of flying cars instead we got 140 characters” - Peter Theil   Episode Overview: In this episode, Brent shares how rLoop came together from Reddit and how this small community designed their prototype for Elon Musk and SpaceX’s project and competition. He also shares his AH-HA moments, realizing the processes and organization they built to develop the Hyperloop could be applied to other projects, but facilitating co-work on complex engineering systems required careful attention to engineering and management processes. They also need to focus on the human resources aspect as they continue to onboard new members, needing to bring them up to speed and able to contribute and collaborate in the best capacity that they can, as quickly as they can.   Tips Mentioned: We all have science fiction diets Connect with people who are successful or who have been in the industry When you’re first starting out, find your legs and interact with people in the industry and it will go a long way in accelerating your understanding about your specific niche Find your passion and devote yourself to it entirely You have to be 100% devoted and passionate towards your goals “The day before something is a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea.” - Peter Diamandis   Resources Mentioned: Tools: Hacker Unit Google Tools Jira - Task Management Book: The Wide Lens by Ron Adner Abundance by Peter Diamandis Bold by Peter Diamandis Productivity Tool: Find a quiet place with good coffee and free WiFi Hotspot: Hair of the Dog in Toronto   About Company: rLoop is a crowdsourced and globally distributed moonshot engineering organization. They try to connect the untapped global pool of talent and resources, and drive that knowledge and expertise towards large-scale engineering projects that might have positive global impact. rLoop is also the first crowdsourced engineering team. The Hyperloop concept goes back to 2013 when Elon Musk open sourced a paper outlining his vision for a ground-based transportation system where vehicles are levitated so there is no rolling resistance, and the vehicle is put in a tube or a tunnel where they can also control the environment and optimize it for their purposes. In this case they evacuate most of the air inside the tunnel to eliminate air friction. The vehicle can then optimize the energy that it is using and travel at an immense speed, with an estimated speed of 1200 km per hour. rLoop uses a magnetic levitation system that is somewhat similar to mag-lev trains where they have self-contained hover engines to interact with a conductive subsurface, in this case aluminum. When these two interact it causes the vehicle to levitate off the surface. The engines can then be manipulated to induce thrust, braking, and in-flight control.   Connect with Brent:   LinkedIn: Brent Lessard Twitter: @rLoopTeam and @MrBrentLessard Website: rloop   Thanks again for tuning in!

rLoop is a consortium of engineers working to design the modules that will travel through Hyperloop tunnels at amazing speeds. So, how does it work and what sorts of speeds will it reach? And does it make HS2 seem redundant it gets started? Phil Dobbie talks to rLoop co-founder Ilyas Vali.

Today's episode consists entirely of Pilar and Lisette's virtual coffee and they talk about the best things and the worst things about working in virtual teams.   We have a few updates, but not too many. We talk about our online co-working space Virtual Team Talk, Sqwiggle closing down, should you take photos, how Oleg Konovalov sent us his book Organisational Anatomy: A Manager's Guide to a Healthy Organisation (Towards the Twenty-First Century Organization) and Lisette is reading the biography Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is Shaping our Future, Lisette mentions this interview with the guys from RLoop. http://www.collaborationsuperpowers.com/83-a-self-organized-team-of-remote-redditors-competing-for-spacex-hyperloop/ You never know who's listening...

We don't need permission to do a lot of stuff in virtual teams - we can self-organise, interact with people in other parts of the organisation... Flattening of the hierarchies. But this also has its down side... We tend to over-communicate. Our oh-so-different communication styles. Retrospective and reviewing our team process: the most important thing is to have the conversation. Rules?????? Freedom and cost - two ups! Freedom increases motivation.
