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

2023 - Worldwide Hyperloop tubes & tracks are built Based on Tata IP


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

Materials development §  Magnetic property optimisation §  Mechanical property optimisation

Product development §  Longer stator §  Track size and design §  Topology optimisation

Production development §  Production method of long stator §  Efficient integration of production steps

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: [email protected]


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
