TOPIC: GS PAPER III SCIENCE & TECCHNOLOGY
Science and Technology- developments and their applications and effects in everyday life Achievements of Indians in science & technology; indigenization of technology and developing new technology.
The government of Andhra Pradesh has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with California-based Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT) to develop India’s first Hyperloop route in the state.
Background:
Key facts:
What is the hyperloop?
Hyperloop is a radical, yet untested means of travel proposed by maverick entrepreneur Elon Musk. It involves travelling in pods through a sealed pipe at speeds that could touch 1,200km/hr, making it faster than a jet aircraft. These speeds will be possible due to a largely frictionless environment, minus any physical contact or air resistance.
How it operates?
WAY AHEAD:
Building a successful Hyperloop sub-scale demonstration project could reduce the political impediments and improve cost estimates. It may be personally involved in building a demonstration prototype of the Hyperloop concept, including funding the development effort.
QUESTION ARISING FROM THIS TOPIC:
Q1) What is hyper loop transportation? What is the science and technology involved in it? Can it transform how Indians travel? Examine.
