#hyperloop pod competition

Hyperloop is an ultra high speed transportation system where both people and goods can be transported to mobility hubs of metropolitan cities.  It consists of a sealed and partially evacuated tube though which pressurized vehicle usually known as pod moves and terminal fans also fixed there. Here the pods are floating through the tube by magnetic levitation and propulsion.

 Linear motor fixed in the tube helps in linear contactless movement of pod. Vaccum pumps on the sides of tube can eliminate the air drag. Solar panels are fixed on the top of tubes. These two methods can eliminate the requirement of fuel and current for the working. It is climate neutal over the course of it's life cycle. Researchers are working on this project to launch it in their country.

TU Delft students win Hyperloop Pod Competition

The excitement was tangible at the Award Ceremony for SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition. Amid great interest, the TU Delft students won the competition in Los Angeles. A year ago, Elon Musk, CEOof SpaceX, challenged the 27 teams from all over the world to construct pods for the Hyperloop – a futuristic transport concept that could propel people and goods through tubes at extremely high speeds.…

Hyperloop Pods No Longer A Dream; SpaceX Tests Student Designs

Elon Musk is a visionary. The CEO of SpaceX believes in getting things done. When Musk proposed the idea of Hyperloop as the future mode of transportation, it raised eyebrows. But there were people who believed in Elon Musk and his potential at making the Hyperloop Pods a reality. Turns out they were right. Hyperloop Pods are no longer a dream.

First Hyperloop Technology Demo A Success

Back in 2012, Tesla Motors, Paypal and SpaceX founder Elon Musk made headlines when he announced his idea for a “fifth form of transportation“. Known as the Hyperloop, the concept called for the creation of a high-speed train that would use a low-pressure steel tube and a series of aluminum pod cars to whisk passengers from San Francisco to Los Angeles in just 35 minutes. At the time, Musk…

Trains in the US are slow and boring. They may have brought this country together over 100 years ago, but unless you're commuting, when we think about spanning long distances, we look to the sky. SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk thinks there's a better way: a return to the Earth and the rails. Well, actually, just one rail and a very long tube. The Hyperloop, an idea he dropped on the world back in August 2013 is why 120 teams of college and high school students gathered at Texas A&M this weekend in a competition to build the best vehicles to ride those tubes.

SpaceX Announces Hyperloop Pod Competition

The SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition has been announced for independent engineering teams, as well as student teams interested in building their own Hyperloop transit pods, and a 4-5 foot test track for them is being constructed. The contest will be conducted in two phases: In the first phase (Design Weekend), teams will submit their designs to Tesla and SpaceX judges under these guidelines.
