The Great Adventure of Indian Railways
The great adventure of Indian Railways has come and gone. Hyperloop train is faster than an airplane. Train journey friends.
India’s First Hyperloop Test Track
In a significant development, the country’s first hyperloop connectivity test track is ready. It is a high-tech transportation system that provides connectivity from one place to another at a speed of 1200 kilometers per hour.
Speed Like Never Before
This means that you can go from Bangalore to Delhi in one and a half hours, faster than an airplane. You can go to Mumbai in three and a quarter hours. You can travel on land faster than an airplane.
No car has this speed. Missile-speed connectivity. But how is this possible? No vehicle on earth can go so fast. If we say that it is 1200 kilometers per hour plus, it is almost the speed of sound. What is this hyperloop? How does it work? How close is the world to this technology? How far is India? Let’s talk about everything quickly and go to the end. Are you watching without doing it? Masmagacom I am Amar Prasad Futuristic Technology Hyperloop is a technology other than the speed of sound on Earth
It is not possible. The Earth is in the sky above, but on Earth, because the vehicle used in the Hyperloop does not have wheels, wings, or engines, it can travel as fast as a bullet. For this reason, in 2013, tech giant Elon Musk released a white paper about this Hyperloop technology. This is a future technology. After road, rail, water, and air, it will become the fifth mode of transportation. At that time, how much would it cost to have this transportation between Los Angeles and San Francisco in America?
He gave such an estimate. So, this is just what Elon Musk created. This idea has been around for centuries, but since Musk talked about it, many countries, including India, have started developing hyperloop technology. In 2020, an American company called Virgin Hyperloop One even conducted a human trial with humans. Just two months ago, in September, a Netherlands-based company tested the same technology. Now India has also taken the first step. The track required for testing has been prepared in India as well.
If there is no wheel, then why the track? You will understand later. But the main factor of Hyperloop is the loop or tunnel, which is in the name. It can also be called tube transport or tunnel transport. Let’s put it simply. Have you seen a water pipe in your house? Fix the pipe to the tap and wash the air. Water the plants. Have you used it? Some people must have noticed air bubbles in that pipe. You take a small ball inside that pipe and put water in it. When you turn it on, the water
takes that ball and puts it outside. Hyperloop technology is simple and similar, but here air and water are used. Instead of all the air bubbles or balls, there is a capsule or a train coach in which there may be humans or goods. That capsule travels inside the tube and comes out. Let’s look at this in more detail.
There is a lot of science here. Let’s understand that too.
Before that, this report Nodbidi Country’s First Hyperloop Track Railway Minister on Thursday
Ashwini Vaishnav announced that this Hyperloop testing track is ready. The country’s first Hyperloop track is ready at the IT Madras Discovery Campus in Tayyur, Tamil Nadu. It is about 410 meters long track. It is not a course in which a capsule can be sent and tested at a speed of 1200 km, but the track is also ready. You are seeing it on the screen. The project is prepared by the Indian Railways, IT Madras, and the Hyperloop team, and together with TUTR, a hyperloop startup, it is so
The feature-rich technique technology, which is completely ready in India, is currently being tested on just 410 meters of track, where the capsule can be driven at a speed of 100 km per hour and then the loop is expanded and tested at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. So how does this technology work, friends? In China, Japan, South Korea and some European countries, trains without wheels are already running. Magnetic levitation or maglev trains are running. We have already reported about these. You can check them.
You can check them. However, I want to tell you briefly. Instead of wheels, railway coaches have a rod. Think of it as a magnetic rod. Similarly, the track below is also a magnetic track. In both the positive and negative magnets, positive and negative are opposite. But what happens? If the two magnets stick together, they do not push each other far away. So here too, the train is lifted up. So there is no need for wheels. But since there is not enough magnet to make the rod, the magnetic field is generated in the steel rod itself.
The train is levitated by using electricity. Japan’s L O series maglev train is now already reaching a speed of 600 km per hour. The record has been made. Magnetic levitation technology is also used in Hyperloop. This is the first advantage. Here, there is no friction or collision between the wheels and the track. Another advantage is that there is no air resistance. You may know that air resistance is a factor for all moving objects on the surface of the earth. Even if you go on a bike, the air pushes you back. Sometimes you can’t go very fast because of air resistance.
For Example
airplanes, fighter jets, supercars are all very aerodynamically designed, but in space there is a vacuum. There is no atmosphere. So since there is no air resistance there, it is empty. The satellites we send orbit the earth 10 to 15 times a day. They travel thousands of kilometers per second. Nothing happens to them. They go at speed because there is nothing rubbing against them. There is no wind. There is no air at all. In space, similarly, inside the Hyperloop tunnel, there is a vacuum. There is very little air, the pressure is low, the tunnel is designed that way, that’s why the capsule can travel so fast, it can easily reach a speed of 1200 kilometers per hour. As technology improves, the speed can be even higher.
The capsule is designed like an airplane or a spacecraft, so there is air inside the capsule. This capsule can move forward and backward. Magnetic levitation is used. We have also given you information about how that works in our last report. In this report, we have already said that there is very little air. So, the capsule can suck the air in front of it and release it quickly from behind and move through it. But magnetic levitation is the best option. What is interesting is that in Hyperloop, there is less Because of the friction resistance, it uses less electricity than regular trains. It can be above ground or inside a tunnel. Friends, this tunnel does not have to be above ground. It can go underground. So it is all-weather transport. It is protected from natural disasters.
The tunnel will only stop if it breaks down. Since this capsule can travel from point A to point B in a very short time, there is no need for multiple capsules on the same track, so there are no accidents. Musk said that the electricity required for the Hyperloop can be supplied by solar panels on the tunnel. So there is no disadvantage in this. Currently, all the companies developing the Hyperloop are testing capsules with low capacity. This is a transportation system that can carry thousands of people at a time.
It takes a long time to develop. As the capacity increases, the electricity consumption increases. In addition, the cost of building a tunnel made of steel tubes is very high. In addition, the technology for maintaining the lines in the tube must be improved. Since this is high-speed traveling, passengers cannot walk inside. Since the steel tube is used, wireless signals cannot be received. There is enough disadvantage for this reason, which country is not developing these things fast, but Musk, who is giving connectivity to the world in a rocket, is doing something with this technology
Of course, Elon Musk, The Boring Company is already developing the technology, but he has not shared any information about where it has reached, so I am curious about what surprises Musk will bring. Now, a test track is ready in India. Capsule testing will be done next. When will its test be done? When will we see hyperloop trains in India? I am curious. Please comment and tell me your opinion about this technology. .
