Underwater Hyperloop
A new and superfast mode of transportation at a cheap cost.
The problem Underwater Hyperloop solves
The major problem in today's world is to price and time taken by trains, flights, or roadways to take someone from A to B. With our concept of Hyperloop, transportation will be 4 times faster and in our concept of making an underwater hyperloop it will require much less disturbance the the environment and wil save a lot of time and money.
Using electro-magnets and low pressure in the tunnels (reducing air resistance and frictional resistance) a Hyperloop can go as fast as 1200km/h which will reduce the time of going from Jodhpur to Delhi from 10 hours in train to just 1 hour. And the point of making it underwater will help us to go from Chennai to Port Blair in just 1.25 hours.
And as this uses very less enegry (in form of electricty) the cost of running would be as much as travelling in Rajdhani Express, just much faster.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge was to get the electro-magnet work, as we needed to either make a larger electro magnet or give it more power. We tried to run it with batteries, tries different shapes of bobin, tried diiferent gauges of copper wires and at the end we landed on the on that works and as you will be able to see in the video that we took while testing the project, it gives us the speed that we need along with the precision.
Also one major problem we ran into was that how could we change the poles of the electro magnet on the go, which we solved by making both the switches independent of each other and supplying the the power opposite of the other one.
