Nevomo
Nevomo (known as ''Hyper Poland'' until 2020) is a Polish transportation start-up founded in 2017. The company proposes a Maglev-based transportation system which can be retrofitted to existing railway tracks, and future work on a Hyperloop system. History Nevomo was founded in April 2017 under its original name ''Hyper Poland'' as a spin-off of a team of university students of Warsaw University of Technology. The student team had successfully participated in the Hyperloop Pod Competition II competition organized by SpaceX in California. By the end of 2018, the company had filed eight patent applications. In October 2019, the company unveiled its first 1:5 scale prototype of the track and MagRail vehicle. In 2020, the company begun test runs on a scaled-down track. In the same year, the company rebranded from Hyper Poland to Nevomo. In the first quarter of 2022, Nevomo completed the construction of Europe's longest test track for passive magnetic levitation. The 700 meter-long ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyperloop
Hyperloop is a proposed high-speed transportation system for both passengers and freight. The concept was published by entrepreneur Elon Musk in a 2013 white paper, where the hyperloop was described as a transportation system using capsules supported by an air bearing, air-bearing surface within a low-pressure tube. Hyperloop systems have three essential elements: tubes, pods, and terminals. The tube is a large, sealed Vacuum#Vacuum-driven machines, low-pressure system (typically a long tunnel). The pod is a coach at atmospheric pressure that experiences low Drag (physics), air resistance or friction inside the tube using Maglev, magnetic propulsion (in the initial design, augmented by a ducted fan). The terminal handles pod arrivals and departures. The hyperloop, in the form proposed by Musk, differs from other Vactrain, vactrains by relying on residual air pressure inside the tube to provide lift from Aerofoil, aerofoils and propulsion by fans; however, many subsequent variants ...

Maglev
Maglev (derived from '' magnetic levitation'') is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance. Compared to conventional railways, maglev trains have higher top speeds, superior acceleration and deceleration, lower maintenance costs, improved gradient handling, and lower noise. However, they are more expensive to build, cannot use existing infrastructure, and use more energy at high speeds. Maglev trains have set several speed records. The train speed record of was set by the experimental Japanese L0 Series maglev in 2015. From 2002 until 2021, the record for the highest operational speed of a passenger train of was held by the Shanghai maglev train, which uses German Transrapid technology. The service connects Shanghai Pudong International Airport and the outskirts of central Pudong, Shanghai. At its historical top speed, it covered the distance of in just over 8minutes. ...
