Hyperloop is a new mode of transport

Proposed by ELON MUSK American business magnate,

investor, and inventor. He is currently the CEO & CTO of
SpaceX and CEO & Chief Product Architect of Tesla
Motors.

A high-speed train that promises travel at twice the speed of

a commercial aircraft, transporting passengers from Los
Angeles to San Francisco in just 30 minutes.
This system can achieve an average speed of 598 mph
(962 km/h), and a top speed of 760 mph (1,220 km/h).

Sealed capsules carrying 28 passengers each that travel
along the interior of the tube depart on average every 2
minutes from Los Angeles or San Francisco (up to
every 30 seconds during peak usage hours).

The maximum width 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 (1.4 m2) frontal area, not
including any propulsion or suspension components.

For travel at high speeds, the greatest power
requirement is normally to overcome air resistance.

Aerodynamic drag increases with the square of speed,

and thus the power requirement increases with the cube
of speed.

For example, to travel twice as fast a vehicle must

overcome four times the aerodynamic resistance, and
input eight times the power.

Streamlines for capsule traveling at high subsonic velocities inside Hyperloop.
The tube is made of steel. Two tubes will be welded
together in a side by side configuration to allow the
capsules to travel both directions.

Pylons are placed every 100 ft (30 m) to support the

tube.

Solar arrays will cover the top of the tubes in order to

provide power to the system.
The inner diameter of the tube is optimized to be 7 ft 4
in. (2.23 m) which is small enough to keep material
cost low while large enough to provide some
alleviation of choked air flow around the capsule.

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%.

high-speed transport more generally, have historically
been impeded by the difficulties in
managing friction and air resistance, both of which
become substantial when vehicles approach high
speeds.

vactrain concept : tubes kept at a complete vacuum,

allowing for theoretical speeds of thousands of miles
per hour.
The expected pressure inside the tube will be
maintained around 100pa (less pressure).

This low pressure minimizes the drag force on the

capsule while maintaining the relative ease of pumping
out the air from the tube.
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.
The majority of the route will follow highway and the
tube will be constructed in the median

 Hyperloop is a new idea of solar powered
transportation system with high speed of up to 800mph,
which is developed by US entrepreneur Elon Musk.
 He proposed this transportation system to the route
from the Los Angeles region to the San Francisco Bay
Area. In this presentation, the possibilities and
construction of the system is explained with the details
of different components of the system.
 The technical details of the Hyperloop in this
presentation are based on the design details released by
Elon musk on 12th august, 2013.
