Script ( Hyperloop Transportation) :
Introduction:
Billed as the fastest way to cross the surface of the earth, hyperloop represents the
greatest leap in transport infrastructure for generations.
With passengers sitting in pods that travel at airline speed through pressurized tubes
which use electric propulsion and magnetic levitation the concept promises to slash
journey time between major cities from several hours to a matter of minutes.
It is a transportation system that would see passenger pods move through a partial
vacuum in steel tubes, addressing the two main factors that slow down the
conventional vehicles which are friction and air resistance.
The hyperloop transportation will applying the compressions fans that would move air
around the passengers pods to minimize drag and create air bearings beneath them,
floating them off the surface of the tubes.
1st principle :Magnetic levitation uses 2 types of magnets – one to repel the train from
the track and lift it upwards and the other to move the floating train along the track at
considerable speed with reduced friction.
2nd principle: Use a low pressure vacuum sealed environment for the passenger pods
to travel.
By removing air and no contact with the ground, pods fave little to no resistance as
they move.
The air pressures inside the tube are equivalent to flying 200,000 feet above the sea
level and this enables the pods to reach speeds of over 760 mph using a little energy.
The advantage also, the hyperloop operate in a tube, so the system is protected from
the weather and can operate in almost every climatic conditions.
Magnetic levitation, or maglev, is when an object is suspended in the air using only
magnetic fields and no other support.
However, the train systems are incredibly expensive to construct and often end up
languishing as little-used vanity projects.
EDS uses superconducting electromagnets on both the train and the rail to produce a
mutually repellent force that makes the carriages levitate.
