Delft Hyperloop is a multidisciplinary team of students from the Technical University of Delft, which is competing in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. Follow us here on our journey! In 2013, Elon Musk introduced a new conceptual high-speed transportation system using near-vacuum tubes in which pressurized vehicles travel. Due to low air resistance in the tubes, the vehicles can travel with speeds of over 1000 km/h, almost the speed of sound. This while being more energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and convenient than airplanes. With the SpaceX Pod Competition students are challenged to push the technical boundaries by being as fast as possible and break the speed record of 467 km/h. Thereby the team will not only focus on the pod competition but also on the feasibility, implementation and the safety of the Hyperloop concept. Everything comes together in our main goal: taking a step forward in realizing the Hyperloop concept and thereby give the transportation industry a revolutionary boost. With the prospect that Hyperloop will be the fifth mode of transportation in the future.
