IIT Madras has completed a 410-meter Hyperloop test track, marking a milestone in futuristic transportation. The Mumbai-Pune corridor will be the first full-scale Hyperloop Project in India.
What is Hyperloop technology?
A Hyperloop is a high-speed transportation system where pods, functioning as pressurized vehicles, move at extraordinary speeds through low-pressure tubes.
Key Features;
Speed: Hyperloop pods can reach up to 1200 km/h with an operational speed of around 360 km/h.
Frictionless System: Operates within a vacuum-sealed environment, minimizing resistance and energy consumption.
Efficiency: Provides direct, point-to-point travel without intermediate stops.
Q. Consider the following statements about Hyperloop technology:
- It is a high-speed transportation system operating in a vacuum-sealed tube to minimize friction.
- The operational speed of Hyperloop pods is around 360 km/h, with potential speeds up to 1,200 km/h.
- The first full-scale Hyperloop project in India is planned for the Mumbai-Pune corridor.
