YOUTUBE LINK HYPERLOOP SEMINAR
Nowadays we are seeing unbelievable tecnologies in this era. Trips are happening in many ways. Technologies that speed up the journey are very much coming in the future.
The HYPERLOOP CONCEPT that we come up with right now
The flight from Mumbai to Delhi takes just 2 hours. Doing the same journey in a HYPERLOOP takes just 1.20 minutes. HYPERLOOP transport system is faster than flight. The maximum speed of flight is 900KPH.And the maximum speed of hyperloop is 1200kph.
WHAT IS HYPERLOOP?
A Hyperloop is a proposed high-speed transportation system for both passenger and freight transport. The term was coined by Elon Musk to describe the modern open-source project originally conceived in the 1900s. Hyperloop is described as a big vacuum sealed tube or a system of connected vacuum sealed tubes having very low air pressure through which a pod may travel substantially free of air resistance or friction.
Proposed hyperloop designs employ three essential components: tubes, pods, and terminals.Here, a tube is a large sealed, low-pressure system. A⁹ pressurized coach (at atmospheric pressure) runs inside this controlled low-pressure environment (which is usually a long tunnel). A coach is often called a pod. The pod may use aerodynamic or magnetic propulsion to glide along a fixed guide way, with terminals handling pod arrivals and departures.
The hyperloop concept has been “open-sourced” by Musk and SpaceX, and other companies or organizations have been encouraged to freely advance the technology, preferably in collaborations. TUM Hyperloop set the hyperloop speed record of 463 km/h (288 mph) in July 2019 at the pod design competition hosted by SpaceX in Hawthorne, California. Virgin Hyper loop conducted the first human trial in November 2020 at its test site in Las Vegas, reaching a top speed of 172 km/h (107 mph).
WHO INVENTED HYPERLOOP?
Musk first mentioned that he was thinking about a concept for a “fifth mode of transport”, calling it the Hyperloop, in July 2012 at a PandoDaily event in Santa Monica, California. This hypothetical high-speed mode of transportation would have the following characteristics: immunity to weather, collision free, twice the speed of a plane, low power consumption, and energy storage for 24-hour operations.The name Hyperloop was chosen because it would go in a loop. Musk envisions the more advanced versions will be able to go at hypersonic speed. In May 2013, Musk likened the Hyperloop to a “cross between a Concorde and a railgun and an air hockey table”.
From late 2012 until August 2013, a group of engineers from both Tesla and SpaceX worked on the conceptual modeling of Hyperloop. An early system conceptual model was published in the Tesla and SpaceX blogs which describes one potential design, function, pathway, and cost of a hyperloop system.According to the alpha design, pods would accelerate to cruising speeds gradually using linear electric motors and glide above their track on air bearings through tubes above ground on columns or below ground in tunnels to avoid the dangers of grade crossings. An ideal hyperloop system will be more energy-efficient, quiet, and autonomous than existing modes of mass transit. Musk has also invited feedback to “see if the people can find ways to improve it”. The Hyperloop Alpha was released as an open source design. The trademark “HYPERLOOP”, applicable to “high-speed transportation of goods in tubes” was issued to SpaceX on 4 April 2017.
In June 2015, SpaceX announced that it would build a 1-mile-long (1.6 km) test track to be located next to SpaceX’s Hawthorne facility. The track was completed and used to test pod designs supplied by third parties in the competition.
By November 2015, with several commercial companies and dozens of student teams pursuing the development of Hyperloop technologies, the wall Street Journal asserted that “The Hyperloop Movement”, as some of its unaffiliated members refer to themselves, is officially bigger than the man who started it.”
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Hyperloop team developed the first Hyperloop pod prototype, which they unveiled at the MIT Museum on 13 May 2016. Their design uses electrodynamic suspension for levitating and eddy current braking.
On 29 January 2017, approximately one y upear after phase one of the Hyperloop pod competition, the MIT Hyperloop pod demonstrated the first ever low-pressure Hyperloop run in the world. Within this first competition the Delft University team from the Netherlands achieved the highest overall competition score, winning the prize for “best overall design”. The award for the “fastest pod” was won by the team WARR Hyperloop from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. The MIT team placed third overall in the competition, judged by SpaceX engineers.
The second Hyperloop pod competition took place from 25–27 August 2017. The only judging criterion was top speed, provided it was followed by successful deceleration. The TUM WARR Hyperloop won the competition by reaching a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph), breaking the previous record of 310 km/h (190 mph) for Hyperloop prototypes set by Hyperloop One on their own test track.
A third Hyperloop pod competition took place in July 2018. The defending champions, the TUM WARR Hyperloop team, beat their own record with a top speed of 457 km/h (284 mph) during their run.
The fourth competition in August 2019 saw the TUM team, now known as TUM Hyperloop (by NEXT Prototypes e.V.), again winning the competition and beating their own record with a top speed of 463 km/h (288 mph).
The first passenger test of Hyperloop technology was successfully conducted by Virgin Hyperloop with two employees of the company in November 2020, where the unit reached a maximum speed of 172 km/h (107 mph).
Hyperloop pod competition:
A number of student and non-student teams were participating in a Hyperloop pod competition in 2015–16, and at least 22 of them built hardware to compete on a sponsored hyperloop test track in mid-2016.
In June 2015, SpaceX announced that they would sponsor a Hyperloop pod design competition, and would build a 1-mile-long (1.6 km) subscale test track near SpaceX’s headquarters in Hawthorne, California, for the competitive event in 2016.SpaceX stated in their announcement, “Neither SpaceX nor Elon Musk is affiliated with any Hyperloop companies. While we are not developing a commercial Hyperloop ourselves, we are interested in helping to accelerate development of a functional Hyperloop prototype.”
More than 700 teams had submitted preliminary applications by July, and detailed competition rules were released in August.Intent to Compete submissions were due in September 2015 with more detailed tube and technical specification released by SpaceX in October. A preliminary design briefing was held in November 2015, where more than 120 student engineering teams were selected to submit Final Design Packages due by 13 January 2016.
A Design Weekend was held at Texas A&M University 29–30 January 2016, for all invited entrants. Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were named the winners of the competition. While the University of Washington team won the Safety Subsystem Award, Delft University won the Pod Innovation Award as well as the second place, followed by the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Virginia Tech, and the University of California, Irvine. In the Design Category, the winner team was Hyperloop UPV from University at Polytechnics de Valencia, Spain. On 29 January 2017, Delft Hyperloop (Delft University of Technology) won the prize for the “best overall design” at the final stage of the SpaceX Hyperloop competition, while WARR Hyperloop of the Technical University of Munich won the prize for “fastest pod”. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology placed third.
The second Hyperloop pod competition took place from 25–27 August 2017. The only judging criteria being top speed provided it is followed by successful deceleration. WARR Hyperloop from the Technical University of Munich won the competition by reaching a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph).
A third Hyperloop pod competition took place in July 2018. The defending champions, the WARR Hyperloop team from the Technical University of Munich, beat their own record with a top speed of 457 km/h (284 mph) during their run. The fourth competition in August 2019 saw the team from the Technical University of Munich, now known as TUM Hyperloop (by NEXT Prototypes e.V.),again winning the competition and beating their own record with a top speed of 463 km/h (288 mph).
EXAMPLE :
The speed of a vehicle slows down as it moves forward. Because the gravity of the earth pulls on its side and the oncoming wind pushes the vehicle backward.
For these two reasons, the speed of the vehicle will decrease without our involvement. We can not eliminate earth gravity in any way, but we can eliminate the opposite wind. When we eliminate the opposite wind ,then the speed of vehicle will be increase.
The concept of the Hyperloop was popularized in 2013 by Elon Musk, not affiliated with HyperloopTT.The project was to develop a high speed, intercity transporter using a low pressure tube train which would reach a top speed of 800 miles per hour (1,300 km/h) with a yearly capacity of 15 million.
Advantages of Hyperloop Technology:
➨The technology offers very fast speed of transportation which is twice that of aircraft.
➨It has very low power consumption.
➨It is low cost transportation system on long run.
➨It is immune to bad weather conditions.
➨It is resistant to earthquakes.
➨It is safe mode of transportation system.
Disadvantages of Hyperloop technology:
➨High speed of capsule (almost at speed of sound) may cause dizziness to the passengers travelling due to vibration and jostling.
➨Initial cost of investment to have the system in place is very high. The long vacuum chamber manufacturing requires more technical skills. Moreover this is costly and also risky to maintain.
➨Land use rights will be concern for deployment of the project.
➨It has very high risk to life when something wrong happens to the system.
➨It has limited space in the train and hence people can not move freely.
➨As hyperloop uses steel for track, it expands and changes shape when outside temperature is changed. This may destroy the track of hyperloop technology. This needs to be considered while designing the system based on environment of the location where it is being deployed.
➨The installation requires cutting of large number of trees. This leads to environment loss.
