Spanish term

El concepto Hyperloop está diseñado para funcionar enviando cápsulas o vainas por tubos

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space
Does anyone have a suggestion for vainas? I only understand that term at it's lowest register as "thing" or "crap".

pod

Pods carrying passengers or cargo travel at 760 mph through tube with most of the air removed to reduce friction.

"Pod" for "Vaina" in singular.
Note from asker:
wow! This was my first PROZ post ever and I really appreciate your answer. I saw the word for pod on wordreference but it was directed towards a plant pod. Vaina is a silly word to me. Anyways thank you!

agree philgoddard : I think cápsula and vaina must be synonyms, so you need only one English word for two Spanish ones. http://dictionary.reverso.net/spanish-english/vaina

Thanks Phil. And I agree with you, I mean that "vaina" and "cápsula" refer to the same thing.
