India’s first hyperloop train, measuring 422 metres long, is ready for a test run at IIT Chennai campus. Central Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has said that the Central Railway Ministry has provided financial assistance to IIT Chennai, a video on the hyperloop trainA news collection about it.
High-speed trains are always well received by the people. In that way, the country’s Vande Bharat trains are operated. It is no exaggeration to say that Vande Bharat has become the symbol of Indian Railways.
In this situation, the hyperloop train, which is supposed to run faster than Vande Bharat and bullet trains, is being introduced in India. The speed of bullet trains is 250 kilometers per hour. Faster than that, hyperloop trains can fly at a speed of 1,100 kilometers per hour.
Hyperloop train service is referred to as the “fifth mode of transport”. Hyperloop is a technology that allows people to travel at high speeds through a low-pressure tube.
The three main components of Hyperloop are the low-pressure tube-like loop, the pod, which is a vehicle like a train car, and the terminal, where the cars park.
After the air is released, the pod is sent through this tube filled with low-pressure air using magnetic force. The pod is a small capsule-shaped vehicle similar to the coaches in trains. This pod can be used to transport passengers and cargo.
Research on Hyperloop, which began in the 1960s, is still ongoing. Although it was in the 1960s, Tesla founder Elon Musk conducted research on this technology in 2012.
However, Elon Musk was unable to succeed in Hyperloop technology enough to put it into use. It is in this context that IIT Madras has set a record by laying a strong foundation for Hyperloop technology in India.
In particular, the Hyperloop train car called Pod has been developed by IIT Madras students. This modernly designed Hyperloop Pod has been named Garuda. With the financial support of the Indian Railways, the students of IIT Madras and the TuTr startup have jointly developed India’s first Hyperloop train line.
For this project, a group of students called Avishkar Hyperloop is engaged in research work at IIT Madras. The group consists of 76 undergraduate and postgraduate students in 11 different courses. This group of students is designing various phases of the Hyperloop.
This Hyperloop test track developed by IIT Madras students is 422 meters long. This Hyperloop test track has been constructed at the Taiyur Discovery Campus of IIT Madras. It is worth mentioning that this is the longest hyperloop route in Asia.
Central Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav proudly announced that the country’s first hyperloop test track is ready for use.
He also said that the third grant of Rs 872 crore for this project will be given to IIT Madras soon.
Announcing that India’s first commercial hyperloop project will be launched soon, Central Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that the design of the hyperloop will ensure low power consumption and 24-hour continuous service.
With this technology, it will be possible to travel from Chennai to Trichy and from Chennai to Bangalore in just 30 minutes. From Chennai to Delhi in 2 hours. From Mumbai to Pune in just 25 minutes. It is said that the fare of this hyperloop train, which is faster than a plane, will be the same as the airfare.
The Mumbai-Pune route has been identified as the first hyperloop route for India’s first full-scale hyperloop train project. Within three years, India’s first hyperloop train is expected to fly between Mumbai and Pune.
Hyperloop trains, if introduced in India, are predicted to transform the transportation system. It is said that in the future, hyperloop trains will provide fast, safe and comfortable travel to Indian passengers.
