HYPERLOOP IN INDIA AND ITS BENEFITS || HYPERLOOP AND BULLET TRAIN COMPARISON

Hyperloop will be the newest modes of transportation which will be using a simple technique to revolutionize the way be travel.it will be using capsule (pods)like structures in a closed environment like a tunnel which can be above the ground or underground so that the normal life will not be affected.it uses low-pressure pods which will levitate on magnetic field and travel at a speed of approx. 1200 km per hr.it will be using an electric propulsion motor to launch it, till a particular distance, after that it will levitate in the low-pressure tunnel.the travel will be a point to point i.e not stopping in between.polarity of the pod and cod will be same making it levitate.it will use very little energy as compared to other modes of transportation.

Hyperloop is an idea from Tesla CEO and SpaceX Founder Elon Musk.

If implemented, traveling from Delhi to Mumbai will be in  1hr 10mins, Mumbai to Chennai in 50 minutes and Bengaluru to Chennai in 21 minutes.and Amravati to Vijayawada in 20-30 mins.

Hyperloop is one of the latest modes of transportation that has been developed since the 1900s, after airplane .it is a high-speed point to point transportation which doesn’t stop in between.it works on electricity so it will be green and will not have any ill effects on environment.it is a technology which will redefine the relationship that we have with where we live and where we work and between cities.hyperloop one has a vision of traveling at a speed of an airplane through the traffic for a price of a bus ticket.the idea is surely a transformational one but it is still a vision now.The 1st prototype is been build near las vegas and testing is also done and it was a success.The 1st project of hyperloop will be from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.and in India it will be from Amravati to Vijayawada.

The company claims that it will not disrupt any lives in villages or in cities .they will be elevating the capsule on pylons so that people can use the land under it.it will be a closed system and all digital.

Let us see the comparison:

From Bangalore to Chennai

Distance:350 km

Mode of transportation:

MODE:	time	speed	fair
Hyperloop:	21 mins	1200 km/h	Expected 400-800 inr
Bullet train:	1hr 33mins	300 km/h	1600-2000 inr
Airplane:	1hr	750-850km/h	2000 inr
Bus:	5hr	60 km/h	300 inr

 Just an example of a comparison between hyperloop and airplane: Imagine you are on a plane and anything goes wrong, then you are gone.now imagine 15 ft above the ground and something goes wrong, it will not be a catastrophic environment.the results will be a lot less dramatic.obviously safety is the most important concern for any company.which will be taken care of by the experts.

Now let's talk about India's new project bullet trains: Ahmedabad to Mumbai

Speed 300-400 km/hr

Time: 2hr

Cost 12 billion which is a loan from Japan

Also according to a study done by IIM Ahmedabad student which tells us that bullet train can never be profitable in India, it had to do 100 trips in a day to be profitable which is not feasible.

Also, hyperloop costs around 1 billion, Hyperloop One will also be an extremely eco-friendly transportation system, relying heavily on renewable energy only.

What India can do is to leapfrog from electric trains(metros) to hyperloop.

How India can benefit:

1)Redefine the work and job life, people shift from one city to other because of jobs, now they do not have to move to the city.

2) high-speed mode of transportation.

3)saves a lot of time.

4)easy to build in less time, because of the size of the tube, can start in almost 3 yr max.

5)less built cost and cheaper than a bullet train.

6)it will create jobs and will help make in India initiative.

7)it can also be used to boost sagarmala project to have port-led development.

8)cargo movement will increase, logistic in India normally takes days to reach the destination but with Hyperloop, it will be in few minutes.

9)we can also have other connection in the capsule-like optical fiber to increase our digital India and other communication projects.

10)15% productive growth rate per annum. GDP growth

11)distances will become shorter so traveling and tourism will increase.

12)reduce the operational cost and will increase the purchasing power.

13)will be a boost for the smart city projects and will turn cities into economic zones.

14)boosting manufacturing sector in India 

15)Weather resistant
