HYPED develop technology related to the Hyperloop concept, a proposed network of near-vacuum steel tubes to transport humans and cargo in magnetically levitating pods. HYPED’s fourth pod, Greyfriars Poddy, showcases a major shift from past years’ propulsion system to linear induction motors, as well as significant upgrades in the braking, suspension, and power modules.The object is building towards the team's long term goal of designing a fully scalable Hyperloop prototype. Greyfriars Poddy features: linear Induction Motors, power redundant magnetic brakes, chassis made of carbon fibre and aluminium honeycomb, shell designed using genetic algorithms, LiPo high-power battery system. Object includes pod prototype and shell. Maker: HYPED; Place made: Edinburgh; Date made: 2022
