What is Hyperloop?
Hyperloop, the “fifth mode of transport”, is a high-speed transportation system for long-distance travel. It involves an electromagnetically levitating pod within a vacuum tube thus eliminating friction & air drag and potentially allowing the pod to reach speeds up to Mach 1.0
This mode of transport will be marked by its immunity to weather, collision-free commute which can move at twice the speed of a plane, with low power consumption and energy storage for 24-hour operations. Overall the Hyperloop will be a sustainable mode of transportation running on solar or electrical energy.
Hyperloop: A Boon
Hyperloop trumps the four existing forms of transport in ways more than one - high speed and connectivity with significantly lesser power consumption. The GHC aims to shed light on these benefits of the hyperloop and generate great interest and support for its introduction to the world as the new and primary form of transportation.
Synergic Research
The Global Hyperloop Competition 2025 will essentially serve as a platform for forging innovation among transportation researchers around the world to pave the way for the development of the Hyperloop technology. This is not only a competition, but a pedestal for the world to come together and re-engineer mobility.
Vacuum Tube
Track & Tube details
The hyperloop track features a tube of 2-meter diameter tube spanning a length of 400 meters, designed to maximize efficiency and speed in transportation. The Global Hyperloop Competition will feature Asia’s first student-run 410m vacuum compatible tube with a focus on aerodynamic excellence, the spacious tube minimizes air resistance, allowing hyperloop pods to achieve high velocities with reduced energy consumption.
