What is Hyperloop?

The Hyperloop concept envisions a high-speed transportation system where streamlined capsules traverse low-pressure tubes, utilizing magnetic or air-based levitation to minimize friction and enable rapid speeds, potentially exceeding 700 miles per hour. Elevated on supports, the tubes are maintained at reduced pressure to enhance efficiency. This innovative system, proposed by Elon Musk, aims to connect major cities, significantly reducing travel times. However, despite its promising features, substantial challenges, including technical complexities, regulatory considerations, and financial aspects, must be addressed before widespread implementation. Research and development efforts are underway globally to overcome these hurdles and advance the Hyperloop concept towards practical realization.

Top 5 Levitation in 2021

Since 2019

Since our inception Hyperloop Manchester has looked to participate in European Hyperloop Week (EHW) - an annual international competition that brings together the Hyperloop community to discuss the technology, feasibility and scalability of the Hyperloop, encouraging innovation in the industry.

Despite being a young team, we at Hyperloop Manchester have a history of successes in this competition: becoming an 2021 EHW finalist and obtaining a Top 5 place in Best Levitation Design the same year.

European Hyperloop Week

Hyperloop Manchester is a student-led Hyperloop project organization aiming to compete in the Hyperloop competitions organized by SpaceX or other organisations and to share our knowledge with people around the world.

The team is founded in 2019. Now, Hyperloop Manchester has around 70 team members and around 50 alumni members from different nationalities and backgrounds. Furthermore, the team consists of three main divisions and eight subdivisions.
