Hyperloop Station Prototype

Hyperloop is a unique transportation technology based on centuries-old pneumatic tube principles, promising to provide ultra clean, safe, affordable intra-urban travel at high speed. Our Hyperloop station design involves considering the design of the tube, capsule and cartridge. Based on our research, we generate a new spiral mechanism that would be able to dispatch capsules and cartridges in and out fluidly. The modular platforms can provide easy access for drop-off and pickup. We also provide a first-class capsule for the VIP guest. Thus the seating would be more private, spacious, comfortable with a few entertainment options.
