Presentation Transcript

Slide1

Hyperloop

A Viable Option for the Future of TransportationSlide2
Slide3

What is it?

Elevated system of transportation through a tube between

cities

Idea proposed by

Elon

Musk, founder of Tesla and

SpaceX

Simulations and model-building in progress

Hyperloop videoSlide4

Would provide transportation from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 35 minutes

Route along I-5Slide5

Technology

Pods float on cushion of air through low-pressure tube

Magnetic linear accelerators to accelerate pods

Solar power to propel pods

Simulation technology shows feasibility (

Ansys

software)Slide6

Cost

Estimated cost of the

Hyperloop

vs. the California rail project

Estimated

Cost

Average Speed

Cost of One-way Ticket (LA

to SF)

Type

of Cargo

Hyperloop

$6-$7.5 billion

598 mph

$20

Passengers and vehicles

California rail

project

$68.4 billion

164 mph

$105

PassengersSlide7

Future plans

Marco Villa and Patricia Galloway guide the progress of the project

plans to help finance the

Hyperloop

through crowdsourcing

Benefits and Implications

Drastically reduced commuting time

Transition from living in major cities to suburbs

Increased speed of business transactions

Reduced need for telecommutingSlide9

Benefits and Implications

Green technologies involved in

Hyperloop

powering

Less cars on the road

Less air pollution

Reduced emissions

of

greenhouse gasesSlide10
