Engineering the future of transport

DUKE UNIVERSITY'S EFFORT AT CONSTRUCTING A WORKING HYPERLOOP PROTOTYPE

VISION

We're committed to pursuing high-quality builds and projects

More than remaining 'hyper'-focused on the broader picture of the efficacy of such a technology, we're committed to building high-fidelity systems that control, support, and drive a maglev system.

OUR PRODUCT

Subsystems/Areas of Research and Development

COMSOL Simulations

We use COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate the complex electromagnetic behavior of our linear induction motor, including magnetic field distributions, eddy currents, and Lorentz forces. These simulations help us optimize core geometries, predict performance, and validate designs before physical testing, saving time and improving the efficiency of our development process.

Flywheel Testing Apparatus

We’re developing a flywheel-based testing apparatus to safely and efficiently evaluate our linear induction motor (LIM). This setup enables controlled experiments, allowing us to measure thrust, efficiency, and magnetic behavior under repeatable conditions. It’s a key part of our R&D process for refining and validating LIM performance and design.

Linear Induction Motor

Our linear induction motor (LIM) is driven by three-phase power through a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), allowing precise control of input frequency and motor speed. This setup enables us to generate traveling magnetic fields for propulsion, experiment with different drive profiles, and fine-tune system performance for future iterations.
