This document provides an overview of the proposed Hyperloop transportation system. It begins with an abstract stating that Hyperloop would be the fastest transportation system and uses capsule-like vehicles propelled through near-vacuum tubes. It then introduces the Hyperloop system in more detail, explaining that it was proposed by Elon Musk and engineers as a way to transport people and goods at speeds up to 1,220 kmph. The document outlines the key components of the Hyperloop system, including the capsules, tube infrastructure, suspension, propulsion, and power systems. It concludes by stating that if research continues at its current pace, the Hyperloop system could be fully implemented for passenger and cargo transport by 2021.
4. ABSTRACT
• Hyperloop is new mode of fastest transportation system.
Which is under research and testing.
• The transportation system we know are :
(i) Rail (ii)Road
(ii)Water (iii)Air
• Capsule like vehicle that propels through near vacuum tube.
• Hyperloop is blazing fast (speeds up to 1,220kmph).
• Can be used to transport both people and goods.
5. INTRODUCTION
• Proposed by Elon Musk and a team of Engineers.
• Hyperloop is capsule like vehicle that propels through near vacuum
tube at very high speed.
• Near vacuum tube reduces air friction (drag).
• Supported on cushion of air other than wheels (frictionless)
• Propelled by both Linear induction motor and air compressor.
• Solar panels provide clean and self sufficient energy.
• Two versions of capsules are there. Elon Musk
6. • Proposed projects include :
i. LA to San Francisco ii. Helsinki and Stockholm iii. Dubai
INTRODUCTION CONTINUED-
• Prototype
7. EXISTING TECHNOLOGY
• Existing transport system include :
(1) Railways
• Disadvantages :
(a) Relatively slow.
(b) Relatively higher energy used.
(c) Damages to tracks.
8. (2) Road Transport
• Disadvantages:
(a) Slow
(b) Accidents
(c) Traffic congestion and pollution.
(3) Water Transport
• Disadvantages:
(a) Very slow
(b) Depth and Navigability
of rivers and canals very limited

9. (4) Air Transport
• Disadvantages:
(a) Expensive
(b) Effected by weather
(c) Requires large infrastructures
EXISTINGTECHNOLOGY CONTINUATION -
10. PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY
• Hyperloop technology include many subsystems.
• It consists of several distinct components such as:
CAPSULES/PODS :
• Two types- passenger only & passenger plus
• Carries 28 passengers.
• Supported via Air bearings (cushion of air).
• Interior is designed for safety and comfort.
• Aerodynamic shape (For less air drag).
11. SUSPENSION :
• Conventional options and it’s disadvantages
(a) Wheel and axle – Frictional losses.
(b) Magnetic Levitation – Costly.
• Alternative is an Air bearing suspension.
• It offers stability & extremely low drag at
feasible cost.
• Exploits ambient atmosphere in the tube.
PROPOSEDTECHNOLOGY CONTINUATION -
12. TUBE :
• Made of steel
• Supported by Pillars.
• Two tubes are welded side by side.
• Solar arrays provided on the top
COMPRESSOR :
• Accommodated at the front side of the capsule.
• Serves two purpose –
a. Prevents choking of air flow
b. Supplies air to Air bearings.
PROPOSEDTECHNOLOGY CONTINUATION -
13. PROPULSION :
• Linear induction motor is used
• Linear accelerators are constructed along
the length of the tube. (STATORS)
• ROTOR (Al blade) are placed on the capsule.
PROPOSEDTECHNOLOGY CONTINUATION -
15. POWER :
• Estimated 5,500 lb (2,500kg) batteries
is required.
• The solar array provides an annual
average of 57MW more than what
Hyperloop requires.
• Hyperloop uses about 21MW.
PROPOSEDTECHNOLOGY CONTINUATION -
16. WORKING :
• Propelled by linear induction motor and compressor
•Air pushed out from compressor also propels the pod.

17. ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED
TECHNOLOGY
1. It saves the travelling time.
2. There is no problem of traffic.
3. It is powered by the solar panel.
4. It can travel in any kind of weather.
5. More convenient.
18. CONCLUSION
• Hyperloop transportation system can be used over the conventional modes of
transportation that are rail, road, water and air.
• If the research work continue at current pace it is estimated that we will be
able to fully implement hyperloop for both people and goods in year 2021.
• Even if there are several disadvantages we will find a way in the end.
