Nirmal Gaur gives an overview of the Hyperloop transportation concept. The Hyperloop would use magnetic levitation to move passenger pods through a low-pressure tube at transonic speeds, allowing travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes. It works by removing air from the tube and using linear induction motors and an air compressor to propel pods at up to 1220 km/hr. Advantages over existing high-speed rail include higher speeds, on-demand direct travel, and lower energy usage through solar power. Potential challenges include turning, land usage, passenger comfort, and vulnerability to terrorism. The first Hyperloop may be built between Mumbai and Pune in India.

- 3. OVERVIEW ● ABSTRACT ● BACKGROUND ● WHAT IS HYPERLOOP ● COMPONENTS ● WORKING PRINCIPLE ● WHY HYPERLOOP ● POSSIBLE PROBLEMS ● REFERENCES 3
- 4. Abstract Existing conventional modes of transportation tends to be either relatively slow or expensive. Hyperloop seeks to change this paradigm by being both fast and inexpensive mode of transportation for people… 4
- 5. Background ● Hyperloop concept was invented and designed in 1812 by the British Mechanical Engineer George Wenger . ● The concept was developed and redesigned by the CEO of SpaceX, Paypal & Tesla, Elon Musk in 2012 .In his words… 5
- 6. “It is the fifth mode of transport (roadways,railways,wate rways & airways),it’s fastest and most efficient, I have a name for it. It’s called the HYPERLOOP… 6
- 7. contd; Later Elon opensourced the concept as a competition. Several groups and companies have takeon the project. Some of them are hyperloop one, spaceX, MIT & BITS hyperloop. 7
- 8. What is Hyperloop You may have seen a tube carrying a pod like object in some sci-fi movie like Black panther, Kingsman or in some James Bond movie…. 8
- 9. Contd; The Hyperloop is a concept for high speed ground transportation, consisting of passenger pods traveling at transonic speeds in a partially evacuated tube. A system that promises to travel at twice the speed of a commercial aircraft, and can travel upto a speed around 1220 km/hr... 9
- 10. Contd; …transporting passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 30 mins or in our case it’s equivalent to travel from kathgodam to Dehradun in around 15 mins... 10
- 11. Components There are three basic components in hyperloop transportation system namely: 1. Capsule/Pod 2. Tube 3. Propulsion 11
- 12. Capsule The capsule can carry 28 passengers at a time and it send at a very high speed and it is levitated by a high pressure air cushion. The design of capsule starts with the aerodynamic shape. 12
- 13. Tube The tube is made of steel and is supported by pillars. There is a solar arrays are provided on a top of the tubes for providing power to the system. 13
- 14. Propulsion To accelerate and decelerate the capsule, a linear induction Motor is used in the hyperloop System.The moving motor element (rotor) will be located on the capsule for weight and power requirements while the tube will incorporate the stationary motor element (stator) which powers the capsule. 14
- 15. Working Principle Working of hyperloop system is based on the magnetic levitation. The capsule which acts as a rotor ,levitates inside the tube (acting as a stator). Nearly all of the air inside the hyperloop tube is removed using a series of vacuum pumps. This effectively creats our own sky inside the tube, as if we are flying at 200,000 feet above the sea level…. 15
- 16. Contd; …An air compressor fan is fitted on front side of the capsule (pod) which transfers high pressure air from front side to the rear side of capsule and it propels… 16
- 17. Contd; It creates an air cushion, so that pod can be suspen- ded in air within the tube. It also prevents the pod from crashing to some other pod. A linear induction motor can send the pod from one place to another place to a subsonic velocity that is just lesser than the speed of sound. 17
- 18. Contd; The pod will be self-powered. There is solar panel fitted on top of the tube. By this solar panel there is enough energy stored in battery packs to operate at night and in cloudy weather. The energy is also stored in the form of compressed air. Now the following video describes whatever we need to understand about the working of hyperloop… 18

- 20. Why Hyperloop Some points clearly showing the dominance of hyperloop over high speed trains are: ● It’s faster, as in two to three times faster than the fastest high-speed rail. ● It’s on-demand and direct, Trains follow a schedule and typically have multiple stops. Hyperloop leaves when you’re ready to go, and pods can depart up to several times per… 20
- 21. Contd; …minute and can transport passengers and cargo direct to their destination with no stops along the way. ● It’s extremely energy efficient due to solar power utilization. In fact the hyperloop can generate more power than it consumes as a closed system. So technically it acts as a power generator. ● It’s less expensive and different technology. 21

- 23. Possible Problems ● Turning will be critical: Due to such a high speed, the Hyperloop can only travel in a straight line. ● Correct land usage: Since the ability to travel along only the straight path,Hyperloop have to cross all manner of public and private lands. ● Small capsule spaces: Due to smaller pod size, the passengers have to compromise with the comfort… 23
- 24. Contd; ● Experience could be frightening: because the passengers would be in a narrow sealed windowless capsule inside a sealed tunnel. The acceleration and the noisy vibration can cause motion sickness. ● Exposed to terrorism: Shooting few holes in the tube would create air pockets causing a carsh… 24
- 25. Hyperloop in India Hyperloop one group led by Richard Branson has signed an intent agreement with Maharashtra Government to build a hyperloop transportation system between Mumbai and Pune, supporting 150 million passenger trips annually, and saving more than 90 million hours of travel time. If everything goes well, India could be the first country to get Hyperloop One. 25
- 26. Conclusion The proposed Hyperloop has many advantages as a transportation system, yet it still remains hypothetical. Even though there are many logistical questions regarding how to deal with equipment malfunctions, accidents and emergency evacuations, If Hyperloop could succeed, there is no doubt that it would revolutionize transportation. Even if it fails, it would be a worthwhile exploration… 26
- 27. Contd; …because it can give insights to future inventions Final cost maybe higher than anticipated and designs could also change into the future. Hyperloop surely is fast, safe and cheap way of transportation. With this we can surely say that we are one step closer to the future we all desired… 27
