This document presents an overview of the Hyperloop transportation system. The Hyperloop consists of passenger capsules that travel at both low and high speeds through a low pressure tube. It aims to be faster and less expensive than conventional transportation modes. The key components are the steel tube, capsules, electromagnetic launch systems, axial compressors, and suspension systems. The document discusses the technical aspects of the tube, capsules, propulsion and levitation. It notes advantages such as high speed, low cost, sustainability and safety. It also mentions challenges such as tube pressurization and limited space for passengers.

 Introduction
 What is Hyperloop?
 Main parts of Hyperloop
 Kantrowitz limit
 Compressor line diagram
 Why it is used?
 Air locking system
 Advantages and Disadvantages
 Conclusion
 Today's conventional modes of transportation of
people consists of four unique types: rail, road, water,
and air. These 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).

 Hyperloop is a new mode of transport that seeks


to change this pattern by being both fast and
inexpensive for people and goods.
 Hyperloop consists of a low pressure tube with
capsules that are transported at both low and
high speeds throughout the length of the tube.
 Low Pressure Tube

 Capsule

 Electromagnetic Launch System

 Axial Compressor

 Suspension
 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 30 m to support the tube.
 Sealed capsules carrying 28 passengers.

 The capsules are supported via thrust air bearing


that operate using a compressed air reservoir and
aerodynamic lift.
 It avoids kantrowitz limit.
 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.

Streamlines for capsule traveling at high subsonic velocities inside Hyperloop.


 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.
 Each accelerator has two 65 MVA inverters.
 Inexpensive semiconductor switches allow
the central inverters to energize only the
section of track occupied by a capsule.
The tube has a lower pressure than the station.
So in order to maintain the pressure, we need to employ
airlocks.
 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.
 Faster

 Lower cost.

 Pollution free.

 Immune to weather.

 Safer

 Sustainably self-powering.

 Resistant to Earthquakes.
 Tube pressurization.
 Turning will be critical (with large radius).
 Insufficient movable space for passenger.
 As it has number of advantages it will very help full
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.
