Abstract
Hyperloop is a proposal for fast passenger or freight transportation system, first launched in 2012 by Ilan Mask (American inventor and investor (. The scheme is a Tubular transportation system through which train can carry passenger or freight in vacume or frictionless codition with speeds of up to 1220 km / h. In theory, Capsoul is based on the relative vacuum conditions that can travel from Tehran to Bandar Abbas in 1:10 minutes at a given speed. Frictionless capsules can be driven by linear induction motors and axial compressors. Hyperloop is an amazing engineering phenomenon that moves near the speed of sound. Although in the world of ideas, it may seem easy, but its implementation in real terms is very challenging. Initial small-scale experiments show that Hyperlub is quite possible and, in addition, it's extremely good performance. However, the construction of a full-length tube of hundreds of kilometers capable of maintaining a vacuum of nearly 100% is undoubtedly one of the greatest engineering challenges in the century. Many countries in the world are beginning to invest heavily in this regard. Among them, America, France, England, Holland, China, Japan, Amrits, Qatar, India and others can be mensioned. Sooner or later other countries will start pllaning. This paper aims to examine the challenges facing the Hyperlup project so that Iranian engineers and practitioners can get to know the challenges they are facing. Strategies for initiating research in this regard were proposed for Iran. Undoubtedly, due to the many problems that are on the way, this idea is so fascinating that the current advanced technologies can overcome the problems.
