Rahul Hyperloop

The document discusses the Hyperloop high-speed transportation concept proposed by Elon Musk as an alternative to costly high-speed rail projects. The Hyperloop would use low-pressure tubes and magnetic levitation to transport passenger capsules at speeds up to 800 mph. Key components include the capsule, tube, linear accelerators for propulsion, and an air compression system to allow the capsule to traverse the tube. Benefits over traditional high-speed rail and air travel include lower costs, sustainability from solar power, and faster travel times that could connect cities like San Francisco to Los Angeles in under 30 minutes.

What is Hyperloop ?
What is Hyperloop ?
 It is the new form of transportation between long
distances.
 Hyper loop consists of a low pressure tube with
capsules that are transported at both low and high
speeds throughout the length of the tube.
 It is an high speed train transporting at a speed of
800mph which is twice the speed of a commercial
plane.
FOUNDER
ELON MUSK PROPOSED THE HYPERLOOP AS AN
ATLERNATIVE TO THE COSTLY CALIFORNIA “HIGH
SPEED” RAIL
“HIGH SPEED” RAIL HYPERLOOP
HISTORY
Due to high traffic US government proposed a high speed train
project between San Francisco to Los Angeles
In past Robert Goddard proposed using vacuum as medium of
transport there by attain speed without high friction losses but there’s
lot of possibility of leaks . And when there is a leak it will damage the
whole system.
Elon Musk thought of overcoming it with maintaining low pressure
rather than vacuum and using electromagnetic suspension.
THE CONCEPT
AA
COMPONENTS OF HYPERLOOP
 CAPSULE

 TUBE

 PROPULSION
The maximum width is 4.43 ft (1.35 m) and maximum height is 6.11
ft (1.10 m). With rounded corners, this is equivalent to a 15 ft2 (1.4 m2)
frontal area, not including any propulsion or suspension components.
COMPRESSOR
• One important feature of the capsule is the onboard compressor,
which serves two purposes . This system allows the capsule to
traverse the relatively narrow tube without choking flow that travels
between the capsule and the tube walls
• By compressing air that is bypassed through the capsule. It also
supplies air to air bearings that support the weight of the capsule
throughout the journey.
THE TUBE
 The tube is made of steel.
 Solar arrays will cover the top of the tubes in order to provide power to the
system.
 The tube cross-sectional area is 42.2 ft2 (3.91 m2) giving a capsule/tube area
ratio of 36% or a diameter ratio of 60%.
PROPULSIONS
Linear accelerators are constructed along the length of the
tube at various locations to accelerate the capsules.
Stators are located on the capsules to transfer momentum to
the capsules via the linear accelerators.
Capsules are accelerated by linear magnetic induction and
decelerated by regenerative braking similar to magnetic
levitation trains.
The Hyperloop uses a linear induction motor to accelerate
and decelerate the capsule. This provides several important
benefits over a permanent magnet motor
WORKING
SUSPENSION
Suspending the capsule.
 Magnetic levitation.
 An alternative to these conventional options is an air bearing suspension.
non-linear reaction resulting in large restoring pressures
The increased pressure pushes the ski away from the wall, allowing it to
return to its nominal ride height
TUBE CONSTRUCTION
• The tube will be supported by pillars
• Average spacing is 30m between each pillar
• There will be roughly 25000 pillars for a distance of 680kilometers
• Built using reinforced concrete
• Tunneling mountains to kept the route straight.
