TRAVEL FROM CHENNAI TO BENGALURU WILL BE COMPLETED IN JUST 25 MINUTES - HOW? HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
Home > News Shots > TechnologyChennai IIT students have come up with a research on Hyperloop technology. The students say the technology will allow a person to travel from Chennai to Bangalore in just 25 minutes.
Transportation is considered a symbol of a prosperous country in recent times. Although the technologies to travel in land, sea and air have emerged in an advanced way, the need of a human to travel quickly has increased. Experts say Hyperloop technology will overcome the challenge of travelling is just a few minutes to a farther place.
Elon Musk
The Hyper Loop Idea was first conceived by Elon Musk, the president of SpaceX and Tesla and one of the richest men in the world. Speed is usually limited due to friction and air resistance when a transport device is running.
Hyperloop Technology
This hyperloop technology is to remove these two barriers. For example if we take the Chennai-Bangalore journey, a huge pipeline will be installed between the two cities. They will expel the air inside the tube and create a vacuum. The passenger pod called as the transport pod, is attached to the inside of the tube.
The passenger compartment will start moving using the magnetic field deflection. The United States, Britain and the United Arab Emirates are working on to bring this technology to use in the future.
New History
The Chennai IIT students have taken a research on this hyperloop technology. The team, which has already won awards for driving the hyperloop vehicle for 100 meters, is next set to run the vehicle for another 500 meters. If successful, it will create a new chapter in the Indian transport history.
Speed
This Hyper Loop vehicle can travel at a speed of 1,223 kilometers per hour due to the absence of both friction and air barrier in the vacuum. That means one can reach Chennai - Mumbai within an hour and Chennai - Bangalore in just 25 minutes. Wow, isn't it?
