Abstract:<p>Secondary propulsion methods for high-speed hyperloop transportation are sparsely researched. Secondary propulsion methods are essential to quickly, efficiently, and safely get a hyperloop pod up to its target speed from a stationary state. In this paper, we propose and analyze the feasibility of a form of electromagnetic secondary hyperloop propulsion, called a railgun, commonly used in modern-day artillery technology for high-speed ammunition launching. We assess the feasibility of two different mat… Show more
