Avishkar Hyperloop - IIT Madras

Avishkar Hyperloop - IIT Madras This year's contest focuses on one key aspect - speed. The fastest pod wins! Simple.

"Short of figuring out real teleportation, which would of course be awesome (someone please do this), the only option for super-fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment." - this is what Elon Musk has to say about his brainchild- the Hyperloop. To increase awareness and enthusiasm about Hyperloop, SpaceX sponsors the Hyperloop Pod Competition, an i

ncentive prize competition where a number of student and non-student teams are participating to design and build a subscale prototype transport vehicle to demonstrate technical feasibility of various aspects of the Hyperloop concept. Team Avishkar, a group of highly enthusiastic engineering students from IIT Madras, is spearheading the college's attempt at this competition. We work together in IIT Madras's student lab - Centre for Innovation (abbreviated CFI)- with the common goal of making the best Hyperloop pod ever and helping humanity move one step closer to achieving an incredible new form of transport. Our preliminary design has been accepted and we have successfully cleared the first stage of the competition! We hope to keep moving forward and achieve success in contributing to this new form of transport!
