GT Hyperloop Pod Final Design Briefing PresentationRohan Deshmukh
This presentation was presented on behalf of the Georgia Institute of Technology Hyperloop Team during the Design Competition Weekend held at Texas A&M University on January 29th, 2016
This presentation was given at the end of the Spring 2016 semester for the class at Georgia Tech AE 4802 Digital Design and Manufacturing. The presentation encompassed the Hyperloop concept and built upon preliminary analysis done by the GT Hyperloop Team
The aim is to design and to develop an air brake system based on exhaust gas is called “fabrication of air brake system using engine exhaust gas”. The main aim of this project is to reduce the workloads of the engine drive to operate the air compressor, because here the compressor is not operated by the engine drive.
Here we are placing a turbine in the path of exhaust from the engine. The turbine e is connected to a dynamo by means of coupling, which is used to generate power. Depending upon the airflow the turbine will start rotating, and then the dynamo will also starts to rotate. A dynamo is a device which is used to convert the kinetic energy into electrical energy. The generated power can be stored in the battery and then this electric power has loaded to the D.C compressor. The air compressor compresses the atmospheric air and it stored in the air tank and the air tank has pressure relief valve to control the pressure in the tank . The air tank supplies the compressed pneumatic power to the pneumatic actuator through solenoid valve to apply brake. The pneumatic actuator is a double acting cylinder which converts hydraulic energy into linear moti on.

Active suspension system
An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension on a vehicle. It uses an onboard system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels relative to the chassis or vehicle body rather than the passive suspension provided by large springs where the movement is determined entirely by the road surface. So-called active suspensions are divided into two classes: real active suspensions, and adaptive or semi-active suspensions. While adaptive suspensions only very shock absorber firmness to match changing road or dynamic conditions, active suspensions use some type of actuator to raise and lower the chassis independently at each wheel.

Hyperloop is not only a super cool high speed tube drive train by Elon Musk. It’s also a new exciting compiler from Appcelerator. Appcelerator is known for their cross-platform product Titanium. Hyperloop lets you write your apps in JavaScript and compiles it into optimized native code, you can even call native SDKs on the supported platforms (Android, iOS, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8). This makes it conceptually close to Xamarin but the additional benefit of having Titanium’s cross-platform API on top of it so you can write cross-platform UI code. The compiler is part of Ti.Next the complete re-envisioning of the Titanium platform. But you can already start playing with this new cool technology as Hyperloop is open sourced on github. Com and hear more about it and see it in action!
Hyperloop is the new mode of transportation after air, water, rails and roads. It could be a realistic high speed as well as economical way of transportation apart from a fantasized means of transportation called the "teleportation".
Hyperloop transportation system developed by Elon musk of Tesla group and spacex. It aims to reduce travel time between two cities with the help of capsules travelling in a controlled vaccum system .
A hyperloop is a theoretical mode of high-speed transportation sketched out by serial entrepreneur Elon Musk. Musk envisions the system as a 'fifth mode' of transportation: an alternative to boats, aircraft, automobiles, and trains.[1] Musk, who has expressed his intent to develop a prototype hyperloop, stated that it "could revolutionize travel",[2] but the technological and economic feasibility of the idea has not been independently studied.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

13. REAL TIME OPERATING SYSTEM
All embedded system architecture for
the unmanned pod will be run through a
Real Time Operating System (RTOS)
for unified computing and analysis.
The inherently faster processing
capability that an RTOS provides
allows rapid detection of emergency
situations by reducing latency.

RTOS Overview
14. MODULAR PAYLOAD
The middle section of our pod will
accommodate a modular payload
system.
A modular payload system in a full scale
hyperloop design will significantly
reduce the cost of construction and
operation of the pods, support multiple
configurations, control weight
distribution, and allow rapid turnaround
of the pods at the station.Modular Payload Concept
14
15. MODULAR PAYLOAD
The modules would be designed to support multiple configurations and a variety of user types.
15
Single Person / ADA Sleeper Two Person Group / Family / Economy Cargo / Luggage / Freight
Controlling the arrangement of the modules will allow for optimization of weight distribution
according to the loads, improving the pod’s overall stability and performance.
16. MODULAR PAYLOAD
A modular payload system would drastically improve
turnaround time once a hyperloop pod arrives at the station.
This would reduce the number of pods required in
circulation in order to maintain the operating schedule
of the route, thereby reducing overall cost.
16
These modules would also optimize maintenance and upkeep of the
system by allowing time for the modules to be maintained between
use in the system while keeping all pods in circulation.
17. MODULAR PAYLOAD
The sleeper modules could be used within the station to provide inexpensive lodging
to travelers. This would encourage more frequent travel by providing lodging at a price
point comparable to the low price of the hyperloop ticket.

18. POWER
18
Power distribution will provide power to onboard
electronics by utilizing common Electrical and
Electronic System Architecture with an
Integrated Electrical Distribution System.
The Primary Power System will efficiently
manage and distribute power among known
supplies.
The Emergency Power System will consist of
backup lithium ion battery packs in case of total
power loss.
