Скачать или смотреть Hyperloop: Designing and Building the Future of Transportation

Speaker: Mariana Avezum and Diana Papyan - Hyperloop Team at the Scientific Workgroup for Rocketry and Spaceflight of the TU Munich

The Hyperloop is a high-speed transportation concept proposed by Elon Musk in 2013. By reducing air drag and friction the full-scale concept allows passenger capsules inside a semi-vacuum tube to reach speeds up to 1200 km/h. Mariana Avezum and Johannes Gutsmiedl are part of a 35-students team in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. The TUM team is one of the only 30 teams worldwide to get to the final round. Construction is well underway for a 4m long prototype which includes a turbo-compressor and a magnetic levitation system. Since its foundation, 7 months ago, the team has gone through several iteration cycles in order to achieve a safe and scalable prototype design. The design and build process will be explained by presenting the challenges faced and the solutions found along the way. The advantages of a dynamic and multidisciplinary student team can be quickly seen in the amazing amount of work that has been achieved in such a short amount of time.

Originally from Brazil, Mariana Avezum is currently finishing her master degree in Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich. After hearing about the competition announced by Elon Musk, she decided to start a student project to compete.

Diana Papyan studies Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich. She is the computer lead of the WARR Hyperloop project and is responsible for the real-time requirements of the system. In such a large project, it is essential that all subsystems have a reliable communications mechanism and all safety critical information is duly processed.
