ETH Hyperloop project takes advantage of innovative Stäubli connectors
On May 23, the veil of secrecy around the new Swissloop Pod for the Swiss ETH team's entry in Elon Musk's "2018 Hyperloop Pod Competition" was lifted in Zürich
(PresseBox) - The team of young engineers, who beat 1,200 competitors for third place last year, qualified to participate again this year in the competition in California. St
Five years ago, visionary entrepreneur Elon Musk presented his ?Hyperloop? concept for high-speed transport with magnetically levitating trains in vacuum tubes. The concept strives to massively reduce long travel times through speeds of over 1200ineers at science and technology institutes such as the Swissloop team from ETH Zurich.
With high power
Musk?s assessment criteria were heightened for 2018: maximum speed and self-propulsion are required. The speed to beat is 325 km/h, reached by the Technical University of Munich last year. The new pod from Swissloop is being developed and manufactured in cooperation with a large number of innovative Swiss industrial firms. The Swiss ETH Swissloop team relies on powerful electrical propulsion. St
With inventive spirit
Space is tight in the pod, and the airtight sealing demands in vacuum operation are high. Therefore, safe and reliable pluggable connections are required. With ingenuity and creativity, the specialists from St operation) and allowing reliable performance throughout a broad temperature range.
The connection between the powerful battery packs and the power inverters is ensured with a customized CombiTac system, and a compact MSD (manual safety disconnect) solution is also implemented by using the St
With innovative energy
The excitement is mounting: Months of intensive work, tinkering, brainstorming, testing, and evaluation are over. The new Swissloop Pod will be introduced in its entirety to all the sponsors, the media, and the public on May 23: a powerful bundle of innovative energy and cutting-edge technology. Two months from now, on July 22, 2018, we will see what the talented young engineers can achieve with their new Swissloop Pod utilizing the know-how of Stto California.
