This document is a seminar report on Hyperloop submitted by Shaik Maheboob Sab to Visvesvaraya Technological University. It provides an overview of the Hyperloop system, which was first proposed by Elon Musk as a new mode of high-speed transportation. The report describes the working principle of Hyperloop, which uses a low-pressure tube and capsules that can travel at both low and high speeds through the tube while being supported on a cushion of air. It also outlines the key construction features of Hyperloop, including the tube, capsule, compressor fans, air bearings, propulsion, and suspension systems. Finally, it discusses the potential advantages and future applications of this new transportation technology.

4. ABSTRACT
Hyperloop is a completely new mode of fastest transportation and it is firstly
proposed by Elon Musk and a team of engineers from Tesla Motors and the Space
Exploration Technologies Corporation in August 2013. Existing conventional
modes of transportation of people consists of four unique types: rail, road, water,
and air. These modes of transport tend to be either relatively slow (e.g., road and
water), expensive (e.g., air), or a combination of relatively slow and expensive (i.e.,
rail).A Hyperloop comprises a sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod
may travel free of air resistance or objects at high speed while being very efficient.
Hyperloop consists of a low-pressure tube with capsules that are transported at both
low and high speeds throughout the length of the tube. The capsules are supported
on a cushion of air, featuring pressurized air and aerodynamic lift. Passengers may
enter and exit Hyperloop at stations located either at the ends of the tube, or
branches along the tube length. It quickly becomes apparent just how dramatically
the Hyperloop could change transportation, road congestion and minimize the
carbon footprint globally. With the Hyperloop, extremely fast, inexpensive intercity
travel would be widely accessible. If both people and goods can move more quickly
and comparatively cheaply, rapid growth is a logical outcome.
