What is HYPERLOOP?
 Hyperloop is a new mode of transportation.
 A high speed train that promises travel at twice the
speed of commercial aircraft, transporting passengers
from Mumbai to Pune in just 25 minutes.
 Support 150 Million Passenger trip annually, saving
more than 90 million hours of Travel Time.
CONCEPT OF HYPERLOOP
 Elon Musk proposed the Hyperloop as an alternative
to the costly California “high speed” rail.
 A Hyperloop would be ‘an elevated, reduced-pressure
tube that contains pressurized capsules driven within
the tube by a number of linear electric motors.
 The system can achieve an average speed of 598 mph
(962 km/h), and a top speed of 760 mph (1,220 km/h).
 Hyperloop will serve as a form of green transportation
as the energy requirements will be met through Solar
energy which will make it energy 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.
Components of HYPERLOOP
There are three main components in Hyperloop.
 CAPSULE
 TUBE
 PROPULSION
CAPSULE
 The maximum width of the capsule is 4.43 ft (1.35 m) and
maximum height is 6.11 ft (1.10 m). With rounded corners,
this is equivalent to a 15 ft² (1.14m²) frontal area, not
including any propulsion or suspension components.
 One important feature of the capsule is onboard compressor,
which serves two purposes . This system allows capsule to
traverse the relatively narrow tube without choking flow that
travels between the capsule and tube walls.
 By compressing air that is bypassed through the capsule. It
also supplies air to air bearings that support the weight of the
capsule throughout the journey.
TUBE
 The tube is made of steel.
 Solar arrays will cover the top of the tubes in order to
provide power to the system.
 The tube cross-sectional area is 42.2 ft² (3.91 m2)
giving a capsule/tube area ratio of 36% or a diameter
ratio of 60%.
PROPULSIONS
 Linear accelerators are constructed along the length of
the tube at various locations to accelerate the capsules.
 Stators are located on the capsules to transfer
momentum to the capsules via the linear accelerators.
 Capsules are accelerated by linear magnetic induction
and decelerated by regenerative braking similar to
magnetic levitation trains.
 The Hyperloop uses a linear induction motor to
accelerate and decelerate the capsule. This provides
several important benefits over a permanent magnet
motor
BENEFITS
 Safer
 Fast (air)
 Lower cost at this kind of speed
 More convenient
 Immune to weather
 Sustainable (uses solar power)
 Resistant to earthquakes
 Decrease the traffic
