Abstract
Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and freight transportation that propels a podlike vehicle through a near-vacuum tube at more than airline speed. The alpha version of the
proposal, published on the SpaceX website, describes claims of the design of the system, as
well as its function. 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.
The tubes could also go above ground on columns or underground, eliminating the dangers of
grade crossings. It is hoped that the system will be highly energy-efficient, quiet and
autonomous.
The concept of high-speed travel in tubes has been around for decades, but there has been a
resurgence in interest in pneumatic tube transportation systems since the concept was
reintroduced, using updated technologies, by Elon Musk after 2012, incorporating reducedpressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction
motors and air compressors.
The outline of the original Hyperloop concept was made public by the release of a
preliminary design document in August 2013, which included a suggested route running from
the Los Angeles region to the San Francisco Bay Area, paralleling the Interstate 5 corridor for
most of its length. Preliminary analysis indicated that such a route might obtain an expected
journey time of 35 minutes, meaning that passengers would traverse the 350-mile (560 km)
route at an average speed of around 600 mph (970 km/h), with a top speed of 760 mph
(1,200 km/h). Preliminary cost estimates for the LASF suggested route were included in the
white paperUS$6 billion for a passenger-only version, and US$7.5 billion for a somewhat
larger-diameter version transporting passengers and vehicles although transportation
analysts had doubts that the system could be constructed on that budget; some analysts
claimed that the Hyperloop would be several billion dollars overbudget due to construction,
development and operation costs.

The satisfaction that accompanies the successful completion of this seminar would be
in complete without the mention of the people who made it possible, without whose constant
guidance and encouragement would have made efforts go in vain. I consider myself
privileged to express gratitude and respect towards all those who guided us through the
completion of this project.
First and foremost, I wish to record my sincere gratitude to Management of this
college and to my beloved Principal, Dr. Manjunatha T S, Principal and Director, Jain
Institute of Technology, Davanagere for his constant support and encouragement in
preparation of this report and for making available library and laboratory facilities needed to
prepare this report.
I sincerely thanks to Dr. Rajaneesh N Marigoudar, Head of the Department of
Mechanical Engineering, Jain Institute of Technology, Davanagere for his valuable
suggestions and guidance throughout the period of this report.
I wish to record my sincere gratitude to our guide, Mr. Lava K R, Assistant
Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Jain Institute of Technology, Davanagere
for guiding me in investigations for this seminar and in carrying out experimental work. His
contributions and technical support in preparing this report are greatly acknowledged.
The seminar on Hyperloop High Speed Transportation was very helpful to me in
giving the necessary background information and inspiration in choosing this topic for the
seminar. I sincerely thanks to Mr. Murulidhar, Project/Seminar Coordinator for being
supported the work related to this seminar.
Last but not the least, I wish to thank my parents for financing my studies in this
college as well as for constantly encouraging me to learn engineering. Their personal
sacrifice in providing this opportunity to learn engineering is gratefully acknowledged.

INTRODUCTION
Existing conventional modes of transportation of people consists of four unique
types:rail, road, water, and air. These modes of transport tend to be either relatively
slow (e.g., road and water), expensive (e.g., air), or a combination of relatively
slow and expensive (i.e., rail). Hyperloop is a new mode of transport that seeks to

change this paradigm by being both fast and inexpensive for people and goods.
Hyperloop is also unique in that it is an open design concept, similar to Linux.
Feedback is desired from the community that can help advance the Hyperloop design and
bring it from concept to reality

Conclusion
As it has number of advantages it will very help full for transport public as well as
goods in a very short period of time (at a top speed of 1220 kmph) and also in lower
cost.
It is a new concept so there is some future work will be required for development of
this project.
Conventional means of transportation (road, water, air, and rail) tend to be some mix
of expensive, slow, and environmentally harmful. Road travel is particularly
problematic, given carbon emissions and the fluctuating price of oil. As
