Gatorloop

Gatorloop Gatorloop: the University of Florida team participating in SpaceX's open innovation challenge to design a pod for the Hyperloop, the future of transport.

Founded in August 2015 at the University of Florida, the Gatorloop team consists of 40+ undergraduate and graduate level engineering students (and one marketing student!) focusing on different branches of the industry. Even though we are engineer students with varying academic objectives, we all have one goal in common: to create the most functional, effective, and revolutionary Hyperloop system.

What is Hyperloop? Hyperloop is a revolutionary high-speed ground transportation system proposed by SpaceX and Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk. Incorporating capsules that can carry both passengers and cargo with reduced-pressured tubes, the pods will ride on an air cushion driven by linear induction motors and air compressors. As the capsules will be traveling in a low pressure environment with little to no friction they will be able to reach transonic velocities, making what is now a 6 hour car trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles a 30 minute commute. You can read more about the Hyperloop competition and SpaceX's involvement here: http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop
