The document discusses Hyperloop, a new mode of transportation that aims to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 35 minutes, utilizing low-pressure tubes and capsules traveling at speeds up to 760 miles per hour. It highlights the technology's advantages, such as cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and safety, while also outlining its key components and operational principles. The investment for the project is estimated to be around $6 billion, significantly lower than high-speed rail alternatives.
Hyperloop a new mode of transportation, from an idea to reality
- 2. HYPERLOOP A NEW MODE OF TRANSPORTATION From an idea to a realty Seminar On Presented By SHRISHAIL GODEKAR VIII sem EEE 26 MAY 2017
- 3. ELON EVOLUTION Los Angeles to San Francisco in 35 minutes (381.9 miles)
- 4. What is Hyperloop? Fastest mode of transportation This is an American made transport technology Fifth mode of Transportation after rail, road, water, and air. These 4 modes of transport tend to be either relatively slow (e.g., road and water), expensive (e.g., air), or a combination of relatively slow and expensive (i.e., rail). Basically it consists of a low pressure tube with capsules(pod) that are transported at both low and high speeds throughout the length of the tube. CAPSULE(Pod)

- 6. Main parts of hyperloop transportation 1. LOW PRESSURE TUBE • The tube is made of steel. • The pressure in the tube is 100pa (equivalent to flying above 150,000 feet altitude). • Pylons are placed every 30m to support the tube. • Solar arrays on top of tube. 2. CAPSULE ( POD ) The capsules are supported via thrust air bearing that operate using a compressed air reservoir and aerodynamic lift. Sealed capsules can carrying minimum 28 passengers.
- 7. 3. AXIAL COMPRESSOR • Air is compressed with a pressure ratio of 20:1. • Some air is stored for passenger and air bearing. • An onboard water tank is used for cooling of the air. 4. SUSPENSION • Thrust air bearings offer stability and extremely low drag • Compressor pressurized air and aerodynamic lift provide better lift to capsule. (0.5 to 1.3 mm) • Independent mechanical suspension are provide for smooth ride for passengers.
- 8. 5. PROPULSION • Accelerate the capsule from 0 to 300 mph • Maintain the capsule at 300 mph • To accelerate the capsule from 300 to 760 mph • To decelerate the capsule back to 300 mph Basic requirements are Rotor (mounted to capsule) Stator (mounted to tube) Linear Induction Motor are used to accelerate and decelerate the capsule. Magnetic field strength inside linear induction motor Copper coils Rotor aluminum (mounted to capsule) Stator iron(mounted to tube) Air gap
- 9. 6. ENERGY STORAGE The Hyperloop as a whole is projected to consume an average of 21 MW. A solar array covering the entire Hyperloop is large enough to provide an annual average of 76,000 hp (57 MW), significantly more than the Hyperloop requires. Battery array at each accelerator, allowing the solar array to provide only the average power needed to run the system.
- 10. HOW Hyperloop WORKS? (The science behind hyperloop) Key features • Stator inside the tube. • Rotor inside the Capsule. • Low pressure tube. • Compressor fan. • Air bearings • Levitation • Reduces friction • Steel tube • Safety • Reliability
- 11. COST From San Francisco to Los Angeles , the investment will cost around 6 billion USD which is much cheaper than a high speed rail network costing 70 billion USD. • Tube pressurization. • Turning will be critical (with large radius). • Insufficient movable space for passenger. THEN WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS!
- 12. HOW ITS DIFFERENT FROM MAGLEV
- 13. CONCLUSION REFERENCE As it has number of advantages it will be very helpful for transport public as well as goods in a very short period of time (at a top speed of 1220 kmph) and also in lower cost. It is a new concept so there is some future work will be required for development of this project. Musk, Elon (August 12, 2013). "Hyperloop Alpha" (PDF). SpaceX. Retrieved August 13, 2013.
