High Speed Transport System Hyperloop': Presented

The document discusses the Hyperloop, a proposed high-speed transport system consisting of capsules transported through low pressure tubes. It has main components including the tube, capsules, electromagnetic launch system, axial compressor, and suspension. Some key advantages are that it is faster and cheaper than existing options while being environmentally friendly. However, challenges include maintaining tube pressurization and designing turns with large radii.

INTRODUCTION
 Today’s convectional modes of transportation of people
consists of four unique types: rail, road, water and air. These
modes of transport tends to be either relatively slow (e.g., road
and water) or expensive (e.g., air) or a combination of
relatively slow and expensive (e.g., rail)

 Hyperloop is a new mode of transport that seeks to change


this pattern by being both fast and inexpensive for people and
goods and at a same time being eco-friendly also
WHAT??

Hyperloop consists of a low pressure tube with capsule that


are transported at both low and high speed throught out the
length of tube
MAIN PART OF HYPERLOOP

 Low Pressure tube


 Capsule
 Electromagnetic launch system
 Axial compressor
 suspension
LOW PRESSURE TUBE

 The tube is made of steel


 The pressure in the tube is 100 Pa (equivalent to the flying
above 150000 ft. altitude)
 Pylons are placed every 30m to support the tubes
CAPSULE
 Shield capsule carries 28 passengers
 The capsules are supported via thrust air bearing that
operate using a compressed air reservoir and aerodynamic
lift
KANTROWITZ LIMIT
AXIAL COMPRSSOR

 It avoids Kantrowitz Limit


 Air is compressed with a pressure ratio of 20:1
 Some air is stored for passenger and air breathing
 An onboard water tank is used for cooling of air
COMPRESSOR LINE DIAGRAM
SUSPENSION

 Thrust air bearing offers stability and extremely low track


 Compressor pressurised air and aerodynamic lift provide
better lift to capsule (0.5 to 1.3mm)
 Independent mechanical suspension are provide for
smooth ride for passengers
 The predicted total drag generated by the 28 air bearings at
a capsule speed of 760MPH (1220 KPH) is 140N ,resulting
in a 64 HP (48 KW) power loss
ELECTROMAGNETIC LAUNCH SYSTEM

 Each accelerator has 65 MVA inverts


 Inexpensive semiconductor switches allow the central inverters to
energize only the section of track occupied by a capsule
WHY??
AIRLOCK
 The tube has a lower pressure than the station.
 So in order to maintain the pressure, we need to employ
airlocks.
CAN IT REALLY BE SELF- POWERING??

 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 to needed to run the
system
ADVANTAGES

 Faster
 Lower cost pollution free
 Immune to weather
 Safer
 Sustainability self-powering
 Resistant to earthquakes
DISADVANTAGES

 Tube pressurization
 Turning will be critical (with large radius)
 Insufficient movable space for passenger
CONCLUSION

 As it has number of advantages it will very help full for


transport public as well as groups in very short period of
time (at a top speed of 1220 KWPH) and also in lower cost
 It is a new concept so there is some future work will be
required for development of this project
