The design idea is to place a transportation hub in DMZ, finally connect the overland networks in East Asia When South and North Korea become united, all the disconnected land routes will be connected again and DMZ will be the last terminal for all traffic networks of the continent.

Hyper tube is the future mean of transportation which displays maximum efficiency in speed. This new mean of transportation is 10 times faster than present trains, and this can completely change the ordinary life routines of people by carrying people around the continent within a day.

Although present trains can carry more people in one body part, hyper tube can carry a lot more people at the same time because of its speed. This indicates the massive potential of hyper tube station as major future transportation.


Composition of the solar panel on each surface is as shown right. When sunlight touches the surface of the panel, Solar cell started to collect heat and create heat energy. During this process, Ethylene Vinyl Acetate(EVA) protects the solar cell as light rays penetrate the panel. Heat energy is then converted into electric energy through the solar transistor. After a temporary charging of the solar panel, electricity moves through the poles (circuits) connected throughout the whole tower.

The Solar panel modules absorb the heat on the surface, and creates energy. Inside the solar cell and the electricity created by sunlight is made into electricity by solar transistor. The coil of the station accumulates electric energy collected by solar panels. Hypertube starts to charge when it is docked with the main coil.

For the reason being, we suggest an idea of Solar panel modules, which absorb the heat on the surface, and creates energy for the use of the building, and terminal. This process happens inside the solar cell and the power created by sunlight is made into electricity by a solar transistor.

Electricity collected from the surface moves to the top floor and goes down the core cylinder to the main coil at the very bottom. The coil of the station accumulates electric energy collected by solar panels. Train is stationed at the platform and gets charged while docked with the core line. Passengers board on and off the train.

After the doors close train descend along the rail and is rotated around the core without colliding with other trains.

Each train are undocked from the core and transported to the rail facing the direction to the next destination of the trains, forming a systematic platform.
