[Hyperloop Transportation Technology]
The hyperloop is designed to be faster than any other commercial mode of transportation currently available

The hyperloop is a new mode of transportation that works on three main components

CAPSULE
![Page 4: Engineering Behind Hyperloop](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061617/587c1d231a28abb5068b59cb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The capsule is a sealed vessel that transports people along the inside of the tube with the help of various components

The two main components that help the capsule float in the air is the compressor and the air bearing suspension

The compressor helps the capsule travel through the narrow tube without choking of air flow within the tube

The compressor also supports the weight of the capsule by supplying air to air bearing

At high speeds, the suspension formed by air bearing skis depend on aerodynamic mechanisms

At lower speeds, the suspension formed by air bearing skis depend on external pressure bearings

Tube geometry is very important as a track and for maintaining airflow

Tube construction is important to provide sufficient strength

The ratio of capsule/tube area maximizes the speed of airflow
36%

Airflow within tube is due to the speed of air passing through the gaps
