 INTRODUCTION
      WHAT IS HYPERLOOP?

3
               HOW IS IT POWERED?
• It uses solar energy for its power requirements
• The solar panels are placed on the tube
 BACKGROUND
• Was invented and designed in 1812 by
British mechanical engineer George
Wenger
• Redesigned by Elon Musk
• Founder of Tesla ,SpaceX ,The boring
company ,SolarCity ,OpenAI.

Dimensions
 COMPONENTS
1. TUBE

• The tube is made of steel .

• Pylons are placed every 100ft(30m) to support the tube
 2. Capsules

• Capsules are used to carry passengers and Goods.

• Capsules consist of linear induction motor under the hood,
compressor at the front and air bearings at the bottom.
 3. Compressor

• Compressor is placed at the

front of the capsule.
4. Suspension

• Air bearings are used as

suspension for the capsule.
 5. Propulsion
• Capsule houses linear
induction motor along the
length to accelerate and
decelerate.
• Linear stators are placed
on the capsules to
transfer momentum to
the  capsule via linear
motors.
 WORKING
• Hyperloop works on the principle similar to magnetic levitation.
• The capsules moves in low pressure pylon supported tube.

 ADVANTAGES

• Environment friendly
• Runs through the median of existing highway
• Pods can't crash
• Energy efficient due to solar power it generates more power than
it consumes
• Runs 24*7 using stored power
 DISADVANTAGES
• Huge capital cost of $6 billion
• High speed might cause dizziness in some passengers
• Less movable space for passengers
• Turning will be critical
 CONCLUSION
• Hyperloop transportation system can be used over
conventional modes of transportation that are
rail,water,road and air.
• They are more environmental friendly compared to
other transport systems.
• Even taking the demerits into account, Hyperloop still
proves to be a dynamic mode of transportation for the
future.
