3. Introduction
3
A Hyperloop would be "an
elevated, reduced-pressure tube
that contains pressurized capsules
driven within the tube by a number
of linear electric motors.”
4. History
4
Proposed by ELON MUSK American business magnate, investor, and inventor.
He is currently the CEO & CTO of SpaceX and CEO & Chief Product
Architect of Tesla Motors.
A high-level alpha design forthe system was published onAugust 12, 2013.
5. • Low pressure tube with capsules that move back and forth
throughout the length of the tube.
• Accelerated via a linear magnetic accelerator.
• Supported on a cushion of air.
• Proposed route from Los Angeles to San Fransisco (approx. 560 km).
To be covered in just 35 minutes, with capsules leaving end stations
every 2 minutes
Concept
6. CONVENTIONAL MODES OF TRANSPORTATION:
6
1. RAIL relatively slow and expensive
2. ROAD relatively slow
3. WATER relatively slow
4. AIR expensive
8. 1. CAPSULE
8
• Sealed capsules carrying 28
passengers
• The maximum width is 4.43 ft (1.35
m) and maximum height is 6.11 ft
(1.10 m). With rounded corners
11. 2.TUBE
11
• The expected pressure inside
the tube will be maintained
around 100pa (less pressure).
• The inner diameter of the tube
is optimized to be 7 ft 4 in.
(2.23 m)
19. Limitations
19
A number of economists and transportation experts have expressed the
belief that the US$6 billion price tag dramatically understates the cost of
designing, developing, constructing and testing an all-new form of
transportation.
