Propulsion System - Patented Design

LIM, short for Linear Induction Motor, is the pod’s primary propulsion system and provides the thrust required for the pod’s acceleration. We have achieved a compact design with just a 12kg, 70cm long LIM. We introduced a new design, using curved tooth to curb the end effects. All our simulations were done using COMSOL Multiphysics software and tested. We patented our new design on 27th April, 2022.

Enhanced Linear Induction Motor (LIM) with a modified end-teeth design Nikhil Yelamarthy, Parth Shah, Shivaprasad U Hulyal, Kishan Thakkar, Dr. Satyanaryanan Chakravarthy (Patent No: 533973)

In July 2021, we won the ‘Most Scalable Pod Design’ by Zeleros Hyperloop at the European Hyperloop Week at Valencia, Spain.

We were presented on all major news houses as well as local coverage in India due to our work on the Hyperloop. All the news coverage can be found here.
