In 2013, Elon Musk the famed entrepreneur
and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, came up with the idea for a vacuum –and
–maglev-powered super fast train that would travel through a tube .it would be
called the Hyperloop. A mode of transport that propels a pod or capsule through
a low pressure tube at theoretical speed of up to 1200 km/h. the air resistance
allow the pod to travel faster than the conventional train and aeroplane.
One of the biggest problems
with anything moving is friction, both the surface and the environment the pod
is moving through. Hyperloop proposes to move away from the traditional wheels
by using air bearing for pod instead. the vactrain concept theoretically
eliminates these obstacles by applying magnetically levitating trains in
airless tube, allowing for speed of 1000mph.hyperloop will be built in tunnels
that have had some of the sucked out to lower the pressure. So like high
altitude flying, there is less resistance against the pod moving through the tunnels,
it can be much more energy efficient, which is desirable in any transit system.
The air bearing and passive maglev ideas are designed not only to levitate the pod,
but also see the pod moving through the air, rather than pushing the air in
front of it and dragging it along behind .The air cushion will see the air
pumped from the front of the pod to the rear via these suspension cushion. Musk’s
concept is that the each pod floats on a 0.5-1.3mm layer of air provided under
pressure to air caster “skis”, similar to how pucks are suspended in an air
hockey table, while still allowing for speed that wheel cannot sustain .the
tunnels envisioned are the metal tubes
elevated as an over ground system. Musk
has suggested that solar panel running on the top of the tunnels could generate
enough electricity to power the system. It could run as an underground system
too. an electrically driven inlet fan and air compressor would be placed at the
nose of the capsule to “actively transfer high pressure air from the front to
the rear of the vessel “resolving the air pressure building in front of the vehicle,
slowing it down .a fraction of the air is shunted to the skis for additional pressure,
augmenting that given passively from to their shape.

In India ,the company had
hosted a hyperloop one vision for India summit in new Delhi on 28th Feb. 2017. according
to a Bloomberg report ,hyperloop one CEO Rop lioyd said the company is in early
talks with the Indian government the how
to make some of these proposal come true. In their plan to launch the hyperloop
in India.
The following routes are under consideration.
The following routes are under consideration.
1. Bengaluru palace to Thiruvananthapuram
central station 736 km in 41 minutes.
2. Bengaluru to Chennai:
334 km in 20 minutes,(hyper loop fare 2000-3000 rs,train fare 260 rs, flight fare
depends on the time, usually around 1200 rs)
3. Delhi to Mumbai via Jaipur
and Indore: 1317 km in 55 minutes 4.Mumbai to Chennai via Bengaluru: 1102 km in 50
minutes.
It will take Rs 300 (approx) crores to build 1 km high speed line .it is difficult to fix ticket prices professionally because people want affordable fare
