Problem Statement
- The problem statement discussed in the present invention is how to develop a topology where amplification and amplitude detection can be combined in a single block. .
- Hence, subject invention addresses the issue efficiently.
Technology
- Present patent related to a hyperloop transportation system for highspeed transportation of people and/or objects.
- Said system comprises two or more tubes for movement of hyperloop pods within.
- The two or more tubes may be connected with each other through a plurality of passageways by allowing flow of air streams through them for distribution of air flow pressure among the two or more tubes.
- The passageways may be positioned at regular interval between the first tube & the second tube.
- The passageways may comprise flow control valves installed on the passageways for controlling the flow of the air through the passageways.
- The Hyperloop transportation system may further comprise an auxiliary tube for allowing movement of air through the plurality of passageways.
- The hyperloop transportation system is also comprise a flow control valve installed on one or more of the plurality of passageways for relieving air pressure & minimizing interference between high-pressure air streams flowing through the two or more tubes.
- The flow control valve may be actuated with a pre-programmed control logic.
Key Features / Value Proposition
- The plurality of passageways may increase an effective cross-sectional area for flow of the high-pressure air stream in any of the two or more tubes
- The plurality of passageways may be positioned at an
- inclination angle from the two or more tubes, (range from 5 degrees to 90 degrees)
- The plurality of passageways may be in one or more of circular shape, rectangular shape, square shape, oval shape, elliptical shape, & non-circular shape.
- The passageways are configured with mild steel, stainless steel, medium carbon steel, alloy steel and/or composite material including fibre-reinforced plastics, concrete, Aluminium(Al) & alloy of Al.
- An effective blockage ratio of the Hyperloop transportation system is reduced without increasing the hoop stresses on the multiple tubes.
- Offers benefit by reducing the capital cost & reduction of operational cost by decreasing energy requirements of the hyperloop transportation system.
