Team Description and Members
• Hullabaloop design team is structured under the course ENGR 401/402, a two semester interdisciplinary senior
design class at Texas A&M University specifically geared towards the Hyperloop competition.
• Hullabaloop performed this design as if we were a “Design Company” in charge of designing a “Full Scale Hyperloop
System”, including sizing the tube diameter. This design will be scaled down to be built for the test track.
• Team Advisors:
– Dr. William Schneider, Zachry Professor of Engineering Practice | Senior Engineer at NASA (ret.), 38 years experience
– Dr. Andrea Strzelec, Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering

Need Statement
There is a need for a high speed transportation pod that
can travel in the low pressure Hyperloop tube. The pod
must have propulsion, stability, navigation, and braking
systems. The structure of the pod must be able to
withstand all loads and vibrations, while also meeting all
design specifications as laid out by SpaceX.

Supplemental Slide XX: Unhinged vs. Bottom
Hinged

Design Advantages Disadvantages
Unhinged • Lightweight design • Complex, heavy opening
mechanism
• Possible safety hazard from
uncontrolled door ejection
Bottom Hinged • Relatively controlled
opening motion
• Exit aid
• Simplified latch
mechanism possible
• Added weight from ramp
• Added weight from damper
(if included)
Supplemental Slide XX: Emergency Exit
Operation (Update after simplifying)
• Latch mechanism is double rack and a pinion– Rotation in central gear produces linear motion in side latches
• Must overcome friction from pressure-induced normal force on latches– Fn = 14,930 lbf
• Ball bearing bushings used in latch holders to reduce friction (µ = 0.0015)– Ffr = 22.4 lbf
• 15 lbf applied to 7.5 in.
