Contents
❑ Hyperloop is a mode of passenger and goods transportation that propels a capsule like
vehicle through a near vacuum tube at more than airline speed.
❑ Tube : Steel vacuum tubes reduce air resistance, mounted on pylons, allowing high-speed capsule travel in both directions
efficiently and safely.
❑ Capsule/Pod: Aerodynamic capsules carry passengers or cargo, equipped with a motor, compressor, and air bearings for fast,
smooth, and comfortable travel.
❑ Compressor : Front-mounted compressor reduces air drag, channels compressed air to bearings and rear, enhancing thrust and
capsule stability inside the tube.
❑ Suspension : Air bearings act as levitation and suspension, using compressed air to lift the capsule and eliminate physical contact
or friction.
❑ Propulsion : Linear induction motor and stators propel capsules magnetically, enabling rapid acceleration, deceleration, and
efficient motion inside the vacuum tube.
❑ Power Source : Solar panels on the tube generate energy, stored in batteries, powering operations day and night using clean,
renewable electricity.

Working
Working of Hyperloop
Projects have been approved by the Indian Government for constructing the Hyperloop for the routes between
❑ Amravati to Vijayawada – Travel time expected to reduce to just 6–8 minutes.
❑ Mumbai to Chennai – Proposed Hyperloop aims to cut travel time down to 63 minutes.
❑ Bengaluru to Chennai – Planned route will enable travel in approximately 30 minutes.
❑ Mumbai to Pune – Project approved with an estimated travel time of only 25 minutes.
