HYPERLOOP THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION





Hey guys, we are back with the fifth tech in the series of TOP 10 FUTURE USEFUL TECHS. INDIA has come in news since the new PM has started to take various new steps towards country progress here is one of them.

THE founder of VIRGIN GROUP signed a preliminary agreement in Mumbai, INDIA for a broad Hyperloop framework, the company said in a statement. A demonstration track will be built in two to three years from the signing of the final agreement, while the second phase will aim to complete the construction of the full Pune – Mumbai route in five to seven years.
The foundation stone for the project was laid by Prime Minister of INDIA Mr. NARENDRA MODI on first day of magnetic Maharashtra investor summit held in Mumbai.



Branson is touting the tube-based transportation system first theorized in 2013 by billionaire Elon Musk to help address the infrastructure bottlenecks India is struggling with amid rapid urbanization. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is plowing about 8.6 trillion rupees ($133 billion) to upgrade the nation’s rail networks and last year kicked off a plan to build a 316-mile bullet train line linking the commercial hubs of Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The Pune – Mumbai hyperloop project could result in $55 billion in socio economic benefit over 30 years of operation, according to an initial study by Virgin Hyperloop.




“I believe Virgin Hyperloop, one could have the same impact upon India in the 21st century as trains did in the 20th century”, Branson said. “The Pune – Mumbai route is an ideal first corridor as part of a national Hyperloop network”.


Key Facts

The proposed hyperloop transportation system will link central Pune with megapolis as well as Navi Mumbai international airport. It aims to reduce travel time between two mega cities to 20 minutes from three hours at present. Details of project cost and time-line are yet to be announced.

The proposed loop will be a fully electric system and will have the capability travel up to 1,000 km per hour. It will be able to ferry 150 million passengers every year. It will transform transportation system and make Maharashtra global pioneer in this space. The project will create thousands of jobs and has numerous socioeconomic benefits.



Hyperloop Technology

Hyperloop Technology is dubbed as fifth mode of transportation. It is system of magnetically levitating capsules (pods) that are sent at high speeds through low-pressure tubes. It envisages tube modular transport system that runs free of friction. It uses linear Induction motors in it to control speed of pods. It is still in trial stages in different countries and not been implemented for practical use anywhere in world yet.



With Virgin Hyperloop One, passengers and cargo will be loaded into a pod, and accelerate gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The pod quickly lifts above the track using magnetic levitation and glides at airline speeds for long distances due to ultra-low aerodynamic drag. We’re incredibly excited about the technology behind Virgin Hyperloop One and the way it could transform passengers’ lives.


Advantages


Hyperloop is two-to-three times faster than fastest high-speed rail and claimed to have speeds even greater than commercial air travel. It has smaller civil engineering footprint, with no direct emissions or noise compared to railways. Hyperloop system’s capital cost per mile is 60% that of high-speed rail, and is less expensive to operate. Furthermore, Hyperloop departures could happen with a low frequency of a pod every 20 seconds which is not possible in railways.


Challenges


It requires heavy investments and therefore effective public and private sector coordination is prerequisite for implementing it. It consumes high-power compared to railways. Technical challenges and accidents may hamper its progress.

TESLA- THE FUTURE GAME CHANGER  HEY GUYS WELCOME, You would be already knowing about ELON MUSK or THE REAL TONY STARK if not, you would very soon know him because of his mind boggling concepts. Today we will be talking about his next gen-cars that have already threaten other beasts in the western markets. 1. MODEL S - There is a reason to add this first in the list. Model S is designed from the ground up to be the safest, most exhilarating saloon on the road. With unparalleled performance delivered through Tesla’s unique, all-electric powertrain, Model S accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 2.5 seconds. Model S comes with Autopilot capabilities designed to make your highway driving not only safer, but stress free. 2. MODEL X - This is another one of the most appreciable creations by TESLA. Model X is the safest, fastest and most capable sport utility vehicle in history. With all-wheel drive and a 100 kWh battery providing 351 miles of r

'XGIMI' -  FEATURING THE SCREENLESS TELEVISIONS   In my previous blog we glared on TESLA today the topic of public interest is XGIMI. Under the guidance of their CEO Mr. Apoll Jhong it is a team of young passionates who work to make the best and affordable giant screen projections. Laser TV, Screenless TV, Ultra/Short Throw Projector. All these terms are used interchangeably to refer to more or less the same thing that broadly performs the same function which is media consumption without the need for displays. XGIMI is a Chinese electronics company known for its projectors. Last week, it unveiled the XGIMI T1, XGIMI A1 and XGIMI A1 Pro Laser Screenless TVs at an event in Beijing . Here are the the products to appreciate - 1. THE XGIMI T1- The XGIMI TI is a 4K (3840 x 2160) dual-color laser screenless TV and the most expensive one of the three. With a price tag of ¥79,999 (~$11,874), it is surely one of the most expensive screenless TVs i

VOLOCOPTER - THE FIRST EVER FLYING TAXI Hey guys we are back with the sixth in the series of TOP 10 most useful future techs. Think what would happen if there were no traffic jams or no rush on the road, sounds interesting. There can be many advantages like reaching destinations on time, avoiding last minute rush, avoiding accidents seeing these advantages DUBAI has taken privilege to launch the first ever flying taxis. Read below to know more about it.... Dubai made aviation history with the first “proof of concept flight” of its new two-seater, self-flying taxi in an aerial test in Jumeirah Beach Resisdence area, said officials. The self-flying taxi will “be used for the world’s first self-flying taxi service set to be introduced by Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA),” said the statement, noting that the aerial taxi will shuttle passengers across the city without a pilot. Built by Volocopter, a German specialty manufacturer of autonomous air v
