This week on Dezeen, Priestmangoode revealed the first full-scale Hyperloop pod in Spain, and a prototype bus that tackles air pollution took to the UK's streets.
Industrial design studio Priestmangoode built the prototype for Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, billed as the world's first full-scale passenger Hyperloop capsule, which was unveiled in Puerto de Santa Maria.
It is made from Vibranium, a newly developed carbon fibre-based smart composite that claims to be 10 times stronger than steel but five times lighter. Vibranium takes its name from the Marvel Comic universe, where superheroes Black Panther and Captain American have a suit and a shield respectively made from the material.
The 32-metre-long, bullet-shaped pod prototype is intended to transport 40 passengers at speeds of up to 700 miles per hour through a semi-vacuum tube. Filters designed by Pall Aerospace extract pollution particles and blow out clean air
At slightly slower speeds, UK transport operator Go-Ahead launched a prototype bus that has an air filter built into its roof. The barrier-type filtration system was designed by  Pall Aerospace for use in planes and marine vessels.
Buses equipped with the pollution-removing device trap particles in the air, simultaneously blowing out fresh air behind them. Go-Ahead are trialling the bus in Southampton, as part of a campaign to improve poor air quality caused by congested roads.
