Abstract: Standard ways that are being used for the transportation of commuters or any kind goods are railways, roadways, waterways, and through airways. Cost of these transportation methods are generally depending on the certain factors like distance, luxury, size, fragileness, etc. when the following factors are considered, transportation sometimes becomes very costly and unaffordable for many individuals. By keeping all the factors in mind and also some other factors like time, speed, efficiency a new mode of transportation system got invented. It was first proposed by Elon Musk in 2012 as fifth mode of transportation. He called it Hyperloop. Hyperloop is quick economical for commuters and merchandise. The idea of Hyperloop has been open sourced by musk and his company to take the ideas and further develop them. The design of Hyperloop is generally described as vacuum- tube train design. Hyperloop is a packed tube or system of tubes along which a pod will travel freely against the air resistance carrying people or goods at a high velocity while being efficient. The original version of Hyperloop is consisting of less pressure tubes into which a pod travels on air bearings by linear induction motor and axial compressor through the vacuum. This high velocity transportation system is having some important characteristics that are immunity to weather, collision free, twice the speed of a plane, low power consumption, and energy storage for 24-hour operations. This system mainly goes into loops that are why it’s called Hyperloop. When the early design of Hyperloop was published it described one potential design, purpose, passage and cost. According to the developed Hyperloop design, the pod will accelerate at a high velocity by making use of a liner induction motor and air bearings it will float through the tubes on supporting tracks above or below the ground to avoid any kind of disturbance. Ideally Hyperloop is very energy efficient, noiseless and self-governing compared to existing mode of transportation.
