AComparative Study on Hyperloop System

Abstract

This paper is analysis of Hyperloop, which is a vacuum train having ‘Tube’ and ‘Pod’. It is something like ‘vactrain’ that is the train travel under the vacuum tube with low-pressure air. The main advantages of the pneumatic capsule transport are the high speed, ecological safety and the possibility to fully automate the movement. This model is based on Newton's second law of motion; it is a growing need for an alternative transportation mode for short-haul travel for short routes. The first phase of the Hyperloop is scheduled from Los Angeles to San Francisco in California, United States, and the second phase covers the Big Apple of America. The basic concept focused on system integration. Here, the visitor/passengers pod features water-based heat exchangers as well as on-board compression system that reduces the aerodynamic drag when its passes through the tube. Moreover, the capsule can accelerate via magnetic linear accelerators which are fixed at various stations on the low-pressure tube with rotors in each tube. The visitor may enter and exit the tube at stations located at the either ends of the tube along the tube length. Acollective study of different papers gives a general and technical overview on its high performance for vacuum trains.
