Country’s first in Tamil Nadu cargo hyperloop system The preparations have started. It will be ready in the next 6 months in Thayur, near Chennai. IIT Madras For this, a 400-meter track will be made in a 2-meter diameter tube in the new Discovery Campus. A team of engineers has been working on the Hyperloop project since 2018. This project will be important in many ways. This project has been named ‘Avishkar’.

What? How else would the hyperloop system work?
Hyperloop is an ultra high-speed ground transportation system for passengers and cargo. It has three major parts – tube, pod and terminal. If understood in simple language, it is a traveling loop, with the help of which goods or humans can be transported from one place to another at the speed of an airplane. This travel system is like a capsule. An example of this is the hyperloop train, which runs with magnetic effects.
Small pods move slightly above the lower surface due to the magnetic effect in a pipe-like structure. Due to lack of connection with land, they travel fast. The cargo hyperloop system currently being developed by IIT Madras can cover a distance of 250 kilometers in an hour. The legendary airlines company Virgin has developed its own hyperloop system. Which will transport passengers from one place to another with high speed.

What is the complete plan?
Has joined hands with TuTr hyperloop startup to build the first cargo hyperloop system in the country. It is being prepared as a commercial project. In the first phase of which, hyper loop will work to carry goods. Talks are being held with Chennai port and airport authorities for transportation of goods and adoption of this high speed technology. Its speed has been kept at 100 to 250 km for cargo transportation. At the same time, its target for passengers has been fixed at 600 kmph and above.
Professor Chakraborty of IIT Madas says, currently the pod prepared at the lab level has been introduced recently. Soon a track of 400 meters will be prepared. This will be the world’s largest hyperloop test facility. Hari Krishna, a graduate electrical engineer from IIT Madas, is a part of this project. He says, we had prepared the induction motor for this in 2020 itself. It has also been patented. At the same time, Anurag Patil, a mechanical engineer associated with the project, says, the structure of the pod has been kept lightweight and its cost is also low.
