Vision for Tata Steel
2017 Tata Steel makes first contact with Hardt
2020 -2023 In Flevoland a test track is built demonstrating Tata Steel IP
2018 Tata Steel develops tube & track concepts to prototype stage
Segmented Concave Foam-filled
Long Stator
European Hyperloop Programme founded. Tata Steel = co-founder
2019 Tata Steel builds a 30m segment 4.5mØ with tracks for <50% costs
European Hyperloop Programme Expanded to full scope

Steel track technology
Material selection § Non grain oriented electrical steel (versus Grain oriented electrical steel) § Required for changing field direction § 2000 km Hyperloop requires 300 kt (compare 1088 kt current EU market)
Selected Suspension method § Electro Magnetic Suspension (versus Electro Dynamic Suspension) § More efficient at high speed § Lift does not require energy consumption § Hardt switching concept makes switching relatively easy § Track uses electrical steel

9 months Student Project Initiated by Tata & Hardt
‘Topology optimisation of the linear motor’
With the use of numerical models develop a physical understanding of the suspension and motor and propose a design that optimises between different design criteria 1 Sept 2018 – June 2019 Application with Jeroen van Beeck: jeroen.van-beeck@tatasteeleurope.com

Steel tube technology
Weight reduction options § Tube-in-tube § Segmented § Topological strength § Multi-material
Business driver § Due to the high speed the tube has to be very straight § In most locations in the world terrain is undulating (hilly) § A straight tube is most easily built in the air § Support and foundation costs scale with weight and inversely with span of tube § Reducing the weight and cost of the tube will significantly reduce the cost of the
hyperloop infrastructure § Ambition: a 50% reduction compared to spiral welded tube
