What is Hyperloop
Hyperloop is going to be the fifth mode of transportation, that moves freight and people safely, quickly and directly from origin to destination in a capsule like structure through a vacuum tube. It uses the principle of electromagnetic levitation and vacuum to reduce the friction of ground and air resistance.
About Competition
The pod developed by the Avishkar Hyperloop team was about 3 meter in length and of about 120kg in weight. They may not have won the compition but with the efforts they had won the hard of Elon Musk. Avishkar Hyperloop team met Musk and got appreciated for their work.
