Past 8 months, been building yperloop motors here are a few here and i’m going to share w you some of the insights i’ve found from building and simulaating a lot of motors & where transportation is going with it

In january i started building them out physically and got barely 3mm levitation and virtually no movement, and i really wanted to get that movement. 2 weeks ago i decided to go full out & build something didnt matter how ugly that could levitate and move. This is what i started out with (shorting out vid), and this is where i’m at now! -> the goal was to get it under 40$ right now its at 41

Backstory how i got here

Problem: every country struggling w inefficient transportation leading to massive amount of daily unnecessary traffic - in toronto, thats 11.6 billion h/yr

Current modes of transportation cant keep up anymore w how fast w are changing

• Limited road infrastructure
• Exponentially growing demand
• Climate change worsening bad weather delays

So i’ve been looking at hyperloops which are essentially maglevs (magnetically levitated trains) operating in vac tubes which reduces air resistance to maximize speed as a solution to these esp for areas between large cities where 90% of very bad traffic is concentrated.

From spending lots of time researching Hyperloop industry and its problems majority from a tech standpoint all boil down to unmatured tech

• rediness level, scatterd
• Moving the 3 core problematic technologies (autonomous driving, levitating motors, vacuum tubes) from hyperloop into more matured industries that could really benefit from them.
  • industries get more adv tech & opp presented in the real world
• 3 promising industries identified and validated w some engineers in the space are existing high speed transit applications, precision manufacutring, nano & quantum instruments and electronics manufacturing
• Since i’ve been focusing mostly on the levitating motors i’ve seen more interest in precision manufacturing which for the motors would be extremely helpful to develop that precision aspect further on a smaller stage before a more high stakes environment involving human lives and expensive frieght

Next steps for me

• Optimize this design i’m working on for 3 phase power which will double the thrust output of my motors
• Get more customed to precision manufacturing, and fleshing out plans with experts in the field of integrating these types of motors into robot transport units and large machines like laser cutting for example to provide faster and smoother movements
• Intern at a high speed transportation company to further develop my skills and apply the many that i’ve learned already w the many simulation softwares and hardware i’ve been learning
