4. INTRODUCTION
It is a new form of transportation between
long distances
It consist of low pressure tube (<100 Pascal)
with capsules that are transported both at low
and high speeds through out the length of the
tube.
It is driven by linear induction motor and
compressor.
It can runs at a top speed of 800miles per hour
that is more than 1200km/hr.
It is more cheaper than bullet train project and
more faster and safer than the airplane
journey.
5. HISTORICAL REVIEW
In the year 1812 the idea was invented by a British mechanical engineer “George
Medhurus” such that man can travel through a low pressure tube.
Again in the year 2012 the idea is re-polished and re-designed by CEO of Tesla
motors and space x “ELON MUSK”….
6. WORKING PRINCIPLE OF HYPERLOOP
Hyperloop basically works on the principle of magnetic leviation, which tells “A
vehicle can be suspended and propelled on a guidance track made with magnet”
The vehicle on the top of the track may be propelled by a linear induction motor.
9. 1.TUBE
The tube is made up of steel, Two tubes are welded together side by side.
Diameter of tube is around 2meters.
Wall Thickness of the tube is between 20mm to 23mm.
Pillars are provided 30 meters apart to support the tube.
The pressure inside the tube is less than 100pascle
Solar panels are installed on the top of tube for providing power to the
system.
10. 2.CAPSULE
hyperloop consist of a compressor fan in front of it which is coupled with
electric motor, sound bulkhead, seating capacity, suspension system and
batteries etc.
The maximum width is 1.35m and height is 1.10m with rounded corners and
the over all weight is expected to be 3100kg.
The seating capacity is 28 passengers.
11. 3. COMPRESSOR FAN
Compressor fan is installed on front of capsules. This fan suck the air from front
of capsule and transfer it to end nozzle. Thus, air resistance is removed.
12. 4.PROPULSION SYSTEM
A linear induction motor is used in hyperloop, same as which is used in tesla
cars, which can provide a velocity of 20000 meter per second.
The rotor is located on vehicle to reduce the weight .
The stator is mounted in a linear track in the tube, to supply power to the vehicle.
13. 5. SUSPENSION SYSTEM
• Formation of air bearing takes place, which float the capsule within the tube to
obtained higher speed and resist the friction.
• It also reduces aerodynamic forces.
14. ADVANTAGES OF HYPERLOOP
1. It saves the travelling time.
2. No problem of traffic.
3. It can travel in any kind of weather conditions.
4. Cost of hyperloop is low as compared to bullet train budgets and
airplane tickets.
5. Powered by solar panels and hence pollution free.
6. High speed upto 1200km/hr can be achieved.
7. safer journey and resistance to earthquake.
15. DISADVANTAGES
1. Turning will be critical.
2. Less movable space for passengers.
3. High speed might cause dizziness in some
passengers.
4. High cost of fabrication.
5. Complex repair procedure.
16. PRESENT WORK
Presently the idea of hyperloop is proposed for the route between SAN-
FRANSISCO ,CALIFORNIA and LOS-ANGELES in 35 minutes, at a top
speed of 1220km/hr.
It is also under progress from emarat to abu dhabi dubai.
Even china and japan also interested in this idea.
Even India also passed the budget of 40000crore to have it by 2022.
17. FUTURE SCOPES
Hyperloop is a new born technology, further developments will
be did.
• It is providing faster and safer journey for both passengers
and goods.
• In future almost all countries will adopt this kind of
transportation.
• Even INDIA also passed preliminary budget to bring it of
rupees 40000crore, instead of buying bullet trains.
• INDIA decided to make a route from Hyderabad, Pune and
Mumbai by 2022. and more other routes in future.
• This project is more cheaper than the budget of installing
bullet train.
18. CONCLUSION
• As it has number of advantages , it will be very
helpful in transporting public as well goods in a very
short time ( at top speed of 1220kmph ) and also in
low cost.
• It is a new concept so there will be some future work
required for the development of this project.
