ABOUT US

Hyperloop Manchester is a student-led Hyperloop project organization aiming to compete in the Hyperloop competitions organized by SpaceX or other organisations.

The team is founded in 2019 and has currenty around 70 members from different nationalities and backgrounds. Furthermore, the team consists of three main divisions and eight subdivisions.

Hyperloop Manchester aims to participate in the first Hyperloop competition that will be arranged after the COVID-19 situation.

Our Values:

• Diversity – The team consists of around 80 members from multiple nationalities and different backgrounds. Hyperloop Manchester highly believes that the key of the solution to the problems comes from different ideas.

• Teamwork – This is the core of Hyperloop Manchester. Everything in Hyperloop Manchester is done with teams and collaboration.

• Passion – Everyone in Hyperloop Manchester is allocated in their teams according to their interests and passions. Therefore, every member is passionate about their involvement in the team.

• Creativity – Tasks in the team are based on the creative ideas and solutions to improve the aspects of the Hyperloop pod.

• Innovation – The value that essentially depicts the team is “innovation.” The team always aims to implement innovative applications in the designed Hyperloop pod and do research to continuously improve the Hyperloop structure.

WHAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON

Hyperman I is the Hyperloop pod designed by Hyperloop Manchester, which is powered by 18650 Li-Ion battery type using in multiple battery packs for each module. The electrical system consists of custom moduled built by using Teensy 4.0 microcontroller. O-DROID single board computer is at the centre of all controlling each module and interacting with the external environment which enables the user to track the sensor data, mapping, navigation, control, etc.

Our pod, Hyperman I:

Besides, the Mechanical team is currently working on the linear induction motor, braking and emergency braking, propulsion, levitation, and suspension. We can not share our design plans here since they are confidential.

For high speed braking, eddy current braking will be used. For low speed braking, possibly, the friction braking will be used.

Currently, this team is working on the electronics subsystems and the software implementation of the pod. The subsystems are categorised as follows: battery management system, power converter designs, motor controller board, brake electronics, and microcontroller motherboard.

Hyperloop Manchester tracks and puts every development in electronics and software with reasonable deadlines for each task on Github: https://github.com/manchester-hyperloop

The diagrams for brake electronics, power converter board and track sensor unit are currently in progress.

The help from PCBWay would be precious for us since it would be a big step for us to ease the manufacturing process of our prototype which we are aiming to start building it as soon as the facilities are open.

The circuit boards for the modules are currently being designed by using Altium Designer. While designing the circuit boards, we are paying attention to create boards in adequate size and weight to keep the internal allocation of the pod as neat as possible.

Since we are currently creating the pod infrastructure and established last year, we are now unable to share the 3D models of our PCB boards.
