HyperloopTT is for cargo, while EPFL’s LIMITLESS project aims at creating a sustainable and efficient future transportation system based on light infrastructure.
LIMITLESS (Linear Induction Motor Drive for Traction and Levitation in Sustainable Hyperloop Systems) managed to achieve a significant milestone, completing the full-scale equivalent of a 141.6 km hyperloop journey (11.8 km in reduced-scale), and top speeds of up to 488.2 km/h (40.7 km/h in reduced scale) within a controlled low-pressure environment. What’s next? Researchers will conduct future tests at the EPFL facility aim to further validate more efficient versions of the LIM-based hyperloop propulsion and levitation as well as explore the system’s real-world capabilities.

The LIMITLESS project provides an understanding of several fundamental aspects related to the high-speed electromagnetic propulsion of hyperloop capsules. By leveraging this knowledge, we were able to integrate levitation and propulsion functionalities into a single motor with very high energy conversion efficiency,” said Mario Paolone, professor at DESL.
