ABSTRACT
The conventional modes of transportation of people consists of four unique types and that
are rail, road, water, and air. These modes of transport tend to be either relatively slow,
expensive or a combination of both. Hyperloop is a new mode of transport that seeks to change
this pattern by being both fast and inexpensive for people and goods. Hyperloop is a proposed
mode of passenger and freight transportation that propels a capsule-like vehicle through a near-
vacuum tube at more than airline speed. The pods would accelerate to cruising speed gradually
using a linear electric motor and glide above their track using passive magnetic levitation or air
bearings.
Hyperloop consists of a low pressure tube with capsules that are transported at both low
and high speeds throughout the length of the tube. The capsules are supported on a cushion of
air, featuring pressurized air and aerodynamic lift. Passengers may enter and exit Hyperloop at
stations located either at the ends of the tube, or branches along the tube length. It quickly
becomes apparent just how dramatically the Hyperloop could change transportation, road
congestion and minimize the carbon footprint globally. With the Hyperloop, extremely fast,
inexpensive intercity travel would be widely accessible. If both people and goods can move more
quickly and comparatively cheaply, rapid growth is a logical outcome. As we know that there are
four modes of conventional transportation. First is rail which is relatively slow and expensive
another is road and water which is relatively slow and next is air which is too expensive. Road
travel is particularly problematic, given carbon emissions and the fluctuating price of oil. As the
environmental dangers of energy consumption continue to worsen, mass transit will be crucial in
the years to come.
Developments in high-speed rail have historically been impeded by the difficulties in
managing friction and air resistance, both of which become substantial when vehicles approach
high speeds. Rail travel is relatively energy efficient and offers the most environmentally
friendly option, but is too slow and expensive to be massively adopted. At distances less than
900 miles, supersonic travel is unfeasible, as most of the journey would be spent ascending and
descending (the slowest parts of a flight.) Given these issues, the Hyperloop aims to make a cost-
effective, high speed transportation system for use at moderate distances. The Hyperloop tubes
would have solar panels installed on the roof, allowing for a clean and self-powering system.
