The scheme is currently at the design stage. It is yet to be given a practical appearance.

Detailed information about hyperloop

The developed nations of the world are taking the Hyperloop train as their initiative. The US and Saudi Arabia have shown a special interest in it. According to experts, this is poised to change the transport profile in the future.

 New technology is being used from time to time by many countries of the world to cover more distance at high speed by train. Sometimes maglev, sometimes bullet train. In this context, the next stage or technique is the hyperloop train. It is estimated that the Hyperloop train will be able to reach 1200 km / h on land.

Why is the hyperloop train in the discussion?

A successful trial of the Hyperloop-One train was completed in May 2017 in North Las Vegas, USA. In this test, the Hyperloop-One train ran at a speed of 300 miles per hour. The test site for this was built in Nevada, "North Las Vegas". Hyperloop was tested on a two-mile track on a pod (track) equipped with magnetic technology.

Researchers involved in making this train have claimed. That a capsule-like hyperloop passing through a vacuum (no-air) tube system will be able to run at a speed of 750 miles (1224 km) per hour in the coming years, which is considered a sound speed. Experts associated with it are preparing to run on the first Hyperloop train tracks by the year 2018 and by the year 2020, a target has been set to change the transport profile in the world.

What is Hyperloop-One?

Hyperloop-One is a train running at the speed of aircraft, being developed by the American company Hyperloop-One. This is the next stage or option of high-speed trains (maglev, harmoni bullet, etc.). Its speed will be the speed of sound i.e. around 1236 km / h.

Technology Used in Hyperloop One

Hyperloop is a technique based on magnetic strength, whereby transparent tubes are placed above the pillars. The hyperloop within this tube is stabilized on extremely thin skis made of alloy ink panels with high pressure and heat bearing capacity. In this ski, the air is filled by applying pressure through very small holes, so that it acts like an air (air) cushion.

Ski magnets and electromagnetic shocks accelerate the pod (track) of the hyperloop. Within the tube, a long single bogie of bullet-like shape floats in the air. It has no friction at all, so its speed can be 1100 to 1200 km / h or even more. The cost of electricity will be very low and there is no pollution at all.

Hyperloop Concept

Hyperloop can also be related to space technology. In fact, Alan Musk, the father of the famous 'Space X' company and co-founder and CEO of Tesla Motors, preparing to take people on a journey to space, first thought of running the train with 'hyperloop technology'. In 2013, Mask announced the proposal of Hyperloop in front of the world that any organization in Dinia can work on the Hyperloop project by mobilizing resources. For this reason, along with Elon Musk, two other companies of the concept are engaged in realizing 'Hyperloop-One and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies'.

How will the project come true

According to Live Science, the Space X Company has acquired land to build an 8-km-long test track in the Central California area. The concept is still in the early stages and Space X is setting up a team of engineers for it. It has been said that its design will be discussed in detail at Texas A&M University over the next few months, with designs being sought from teams of related expertise around the world. Developed countries of the world are coming forward to adopt this system. Countries like the US, Canada, and Saudi Arabia have shown particular interest. The work of realizing this hypothesis called 'Hyperloop-One' is going on in these countries.

Working Principles of Hyperloop

Hyperloop transport is a technique primarily based on magnetic power. In this technique, one kind of capsules or ponds will be used, which will be specially designed. These capsules and ponds will be operated at high velocity within a transparent tube pipe. In this technique, pods or tracks will be run on electrical magnets in large pipes above the ground. With this magnetic effect, these pods will rise slightly above the track, which will reduce friction and speed up.

Hyperloop Train Operational Choices

Hyperloop train is a concept in the field of high-speed transportation, which many countries are working to materialize. Since Hyperloop-One will be the most high-speed train in the world so far, its operations may face many important challenges such as technology, cost, safety, human labor, land acquisition, etc.

The biggest challenge or matter facing Hyperloop is security. Superconducting maglev transportation system experts and American physicist James Powell have recently raised concerns regarding its safety. Powell said in an interview to Live Science that the speed with which Hyperloop pods are being talked about, it will not be easy to control the bend or slope. Not only this, its track has to be straight and flat to avoid any shock or bounce situation.

1. Its speed must also be adjusted by the force of gravity, in the event of a quick change in elevations, it is uncertain whether the passengers will be able to adjust themselves fully.

2. The low-pressure vacuum in the tube used in this train will certainly be difficult to maintain, otherwise, pods can collide with all passengers.

3. This project is so sensitive that if there is any mild damage in any situation at any place or even mild damage is done by the terrorists, then the result can be very terrible.

4. Hyperloop is a completely technology-intensive project, which will cost a large amount of money.

5. Land acquisition is also a major challenge in realizing the project. The speed of this train is equal to that of an airplane, yet it will be operated only on land. Therefore, this would require the acquisition of land on a large scale. In this acquisition, approval of the government and the person related to the land will also be required.

6. In Hyperloop-One, there may be a lack of oxygen inside the tube completely closed during the accident. Therefore, companies will have to make a plethora of oxygen masks within the pod just like aircraft.

7. Only a trained person traveling on this train can withstand this much pressure of air and speed.

Advantages or applications of Hyperloop Train

The concept of Hyperloop Train is primarily a revolutionizing idea in the field of transportation. It was given the name Hyperloop because it would be transported through a loop, making its speed highly probable. The speed of this train will be around 1200 km / h, so that long distances can be covered in a very short time. This train will be helpful in inland transport as well as intercontinental transport. In this technique, it will be possible to carry goods and passengers from one place to another in the pods through a low-pressure steel tube.

The high-speed train currently in vogue

At present, many such high-speed trains are in circulation on the world stage, due to which it has helped to cover large distances in a very short time. The main high-speed trains in these trains are Maglev, Harmony, Renfi, Hayabusa, Eurostar, Bullet, Synconsen, etc.

Hyperloop train-related efforts and future in India

In the present time, even though the speed of surface transport in India has not increased more than 100 km / h, in the last few years, the Government of India has shown interest in the renewal and speed of its rail and for this purpose the government has asked many countries Agreements were made in this direction. India's most recent and semi-high speed train is 'Gatiman Express' which runs from Delhi to Agra at a speed of 160 km / h. Taking further initiative in this direction, Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi signed an agreement with Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe in the year 2017.

Bullet train is an important project in the field of Bharat Highspeed Train before Hyperloop technology, which the Government of India is striving for early operationalization. In February 2017, Hyperloop-One Company organized the conference, which was attended by about 90 countries.

India was also included in these countries. Five companies in India showed interest to work on hyperloop in India. In the conference, companies had proposed to run this train on a total of five routes including the Delhi-Mumbai route. These routes include Bangalore to Chennai, Bengaluru to Thiruvananthapuram and Mumbai to Chennai.

Hyperloop company is seeing a big market in India and the special thing is that the government here is giving more emphasis on modern technology. 'Indian Railways had last year floated a global tender to bring technology like Maglev train to the country', in which many companies participated, but no other big company is ready for 'Make in India' in this global tender. was.

Some challenges related to hyperloop in Indian perspective

1. Providing finance for the Hyperloop project in India is a major challenge, as it will cost billions of dollars and it will not be possible to run it without subsidy in the Indian transport system.

2. Till now the testing of this technique has not been completely done. Therefore, there is still doubt about safe transportation.

3. India has the highest number of passengers and Hyperloop will be able to provide transportation to a few people.

4. Land acquisition is also a major problem in the completion of this project.

NITI Aayog approves six state-of-the-art transportation systems

NITI Aayog approved six state-of-the-art transport systems to give a boost to the transport system in India. After receiving approval from the Commission, the Transport Department has constituted a six-member committee headed by a former top railway officer to study the safety standards associated with this hyperloop, Martino and pod taxi technology.
