The Hyperloop Aishkar Iit-Madras team qualifies for the European Week hyperloop

Chennai: Forty IIT-Madras students work from their homes to improve and produce hyperloop pod prototypes which are now eligible for the European Week hyperloop to be held in Valencia, Spain, from 19 to 25 July.
The Hyperloop Avehkar team changes the sub-system of pods with technology that can be scaled and efficient.
In recent months, they produce prototypes that are also tested.
The team will participate virtually due to restrictions on trips related to pandemics.
With their improved prototype, the team estimates the time of travel between Chennai and Bengaluru to reduce 30-minute trips from the current six-hour trip by car or train.
The team was working on a detailed study of energy, costs, demand, and other business aspects for the hyperloop corridor between Bengaluru and Chennai to assess the economic feasibility of hyperloop in India.

Reduction of air resistance allows capsules in the tube to reach speeds of more than 1000 km / hr.
The founder of Tesla Elon Musk proposed a hyperloop idea to the world in 2013 through Whitepaper – ‘Alpha hyperloop.
The previous team became a debut finalist and the only Asian team who qualified for the final of the 2019 Spacex Hyperloop Pod competition held by SpaceX.
Aishkar Hyperloop is a team of students from the Innovation Center (CFI), IIT-Madras, who works on custom design and development of hyperloop that is very independent, truly autonomous in India.
The team seeks to develop technology for high-speed transportation mode in the future with applications in various fields including defense, logistics and aerospace industries, among others.
Kishan Thakkar, the lead Aishkar team and a fourth year student, the Department of Metallurgical Engineering and Materials, IIT Madras, said, “Making infrastructure such as tubes and poles requires around 70% of the total hyperloop corridor budget.
Our research is focused on reducing this infrastructure costs and Adapting the hyperloop with the needs of Indian continental children.
This team really encourages the border of this technology to bring a sustainable future.

For the latest iterations of the latest designs, most systems are based on totally new and very efficient technology.
For example, friction braking requires mechanical contact and causes wear.
But now they move to the current braking mechanism that is not connected.
Linear Induction Motor (LIM) and special inverter for Lim have been designed by a team from the start to replace the BLDC motor for propulsion.
“Our research has produced a lot of technological breakthroughs such as linear induction motors for propulsion, team ownership levitation technology, and magnetic braking systems without contact, among others.
Seeing beyond POD, the team also focuses on the design of hyperloop infrastructure,” said Neel Balar, Team Lead Avehkar and third year students, engineering department, IIT-Madras.
