HYPED

Hyperloop is Elon Musks (CEO of Tesla and SpaceX) concept for the future of mass transport. It offers a new means of transporting people and goods quickly, safely, efficiently and with minimised environmental impact. Hyperloop uses electric propulsion to accelerate a passenger or cargo pod through a low-pressure tube. The autonomous pod levitates slightly using magnets to eliminate friction. It will be faster than an airline and will allow you to travel from London to Edinburgh in 40 minutes. Carbon emissions, noise, delays, weather concerns and pilot error are ultimately eliminated. HYPED is a University of Edinburgh student society dedicated to accelerating development of Hyperloop technology and implementing Hyperloop in the UK. We have over 50 members in the team working on various aspects of the project including technical design of the prototype, manufacturing, economic feasibility, stakeholder engagement and publicity. After a successful year, HYPED has advanced to the fin...
