Hyperloop Technology Overview

The Hyperloop is a conceptual high-speed transportation system that would transport passengers or cargo in capsules through low-pressure tubes at airline speeds. Passengers would travel the 354 mile route from Los Angeles to San Francisco in just 35 minutes at average speeds of 598 mph by floating above the track using magnetic levitation with very low aerodynamic drag. The Hyperloop could provide faster, cheaper, and more sustainable transportation between cities by cutting travel times and reducing congestion and emissions. Governments are exploring building Hyperloops between major cities like Pune and Mumbai in India where it would reduce the current 3.5 hour car trip to just 35 minutes.

HYPERLOOP

Introduction

• The Hyperloop is a conceptual high-speed transportation


system popularized by entrepreneur Elon Musk. Passengers
or cargo are loaded into the hyperloop vehicle and accelerate
gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube.
The vehicle floats above the track using magnetic levitation
and glides at airline speeds for long distances due to ultra-
low aerodynamic drag.

• The conceptual route runs from the Los Angeles region to


the San Francisco Bay Area, paralleling the Interstate 5
corridor for most of its length, with an expected journey
time of 35 minutes, meaning that passengers would traverse
the 354-mile (570 km) route at an average speed of around
598 mph (962 km/h), with a top speed of 760 mph
(1,220 km/h).

Working of the Hyperloop

• It could be that the Hyperloop is essentially a pneumatic

transport system (PTS) in the form of a closed tube that

loops between Los Angeles and San Francisco. People ride in

capsules that travel within the tube at around 1,000 km/h

(620 mph), but the air in the tube also moves at that speed,

so the capsules move with very little air drag. Such a system

is simpler to design if the airflow is subsonic, which is in

agreement with Musk's claims.

Advantages of Hyperloop

HYPERLOOP HELPS TO CUT THE DISTANCE BETEEN CITIES.

EX1: - The hyperloop project will link central Pune with


Mumbai in under 35 minutes, as opposed to the current
over 3.5-hour journey by road.

EX2: -HYPERLOOP would allow each pod to travel at speeds


exceeding 700 mph, fast enough to travel the 380 miles from
San Francisco to Los Angeles in about 30 minutes.

Hyperloop in India

The local government is expected to launch a


formal bidding process for building a Pune-to-
Mumbai hyperloop, projected to link the two
cities in under 35 minutes (rather than a 3.5-
hour trip by car). Virgin Hyperloop One said it
expects to be the winner, at which point it will
break ground on the world’s first hyperloop.
