rLoop -a multifaced innovation project

Hyperloop

One of them is the project of Elon Musk, Hyperloop. Its essence is to shoot a small vehicle with a tremendous speed. Such a vehicle could transport groups of people to other cities in minutes. The Hyperloop transportation technologies offered to make the first Hyperloop tunnel in India between Mumbai and Pune, but Hyperloop One company offered the Hyperloop system for tunnels distributed throughout India between all major cities. But on 18 February 2017 it concluded a memorandum with the government of Maharashtra on the building of Hyperloop between Mumbai and Pune. The rLoop team developed one of the first significant prototypes of this technology called rPod.
The advantage of this type of transport is, of course, speed. Developing speed as airplanes, from 970 km/h to 1200 km/h, Hyperloop will easily become a favorite in the choice of vehicles. Such a system of travel cost less than high-speed train lines. The cost of such train lines in California reaches 56 million dollars per kilometer, and the cost of Hyperloop lines is 40 million dollars per kilometer.
Lower energy and fuel costs due to the fact that Hyperloop technology is based on the process of transporting a sealed capsule in the sphere of reduced air pressure, that is practically vacuum, so there is no cost to overcome the impending air forces and there isn’t need to compensate for air friction.
And also, for such a system you need less space than any other vehicle. Hyperloop looks like a long tube, tens of meters from the ground, and it’s kept on concrete poles and has a moving sealed capsule inside. Compared with area and infrastructure necessary for a railway or an airport, the area occupied by the Hyperloop structure appears is smaller.

rBridge

And this isn’t the only project of rLoop, there are projects aimed at developing new technologies and projects supporting the platform, such a project is rBridge. The rLoop platform will create projects, concepts, plans for development, drawing, design and much more, while the rBridge project is going to combine online innovators with offline developers. Such will be engineers, inventors and amateur creators. To begin with, rBridge will issue an online questionnaire for participants to compile a participant database, where will also indicate the creation centers in which creators will be able to assemble for vehicle development, and in this online interface will be systems for adjusting vehicle design and processing requests. Thus, the creators will be able to gather for cooperation,to take orders and to form a team in the near future. On such a foundation, the rLoop project will develop, it plans to further use the Augment Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality technologies to improve the creators' cooperation.

rFlight

Another rLoop project is rFlight. As it’s clear from the title, rFlight technology is associated with flight. More specifically, rFlight is a personal vehicle for the flight of one passenger. The idea is to create a unique, safe and affordable vehicle for human flight. With the participation of people from all over the world, a few months later, after hundreds of hours of thinking through the concept, design, functionality, physics of the process, the team was able to develop a model of such a vehicle.

The project development plan or the roadmap

The first stage of development (October-December 2018):
rLoop network: formation of the main project team; formation of the counseling commission; formation of a council to monitor the distribution of charitable funds aimed at the development of STEM20 education; formation of the Grant Council for the distribution of funds to finance research of doctoral and postgraduate students; formation of commercial and educational partnerships; launching of the network with the minimum acceptable functionality.
Hyperloop project: complete initial integration and prototype testing laboratory.
rBridge: start formation of rBridge team; initiate a commercial partnership.
rFlight: test subsystems and report on their readiness; demonstration of the scaled model; full test report; receipt of the FAA certificate(admissibility of the vehicle to flight); externally controlled flight and landing.
The second stage of development( January- March 2019):
rLoop network: global launch of the platform with minimal acceptable functionality; reach the goal of 2500 participants; launch the first rLoop Network Competition #1; make the first charitable contribution; announce at what time the distribution of funds for research of doctoral and post-graduate students will be conducted; inclusion of new commercial and educational partners in a global mode.
Hyperloop: test design and methods of commercial use; beginning of creation of components; beginning of test of components and subsystems.
rBridge: private launch of the minimum functionality of the project; focus on connecting the participants with each other; add functional registration, profile, quotes, suggestions, training and tracking; the goal is 25 creators; the research areas: VR Design Review, Expert Review, VR Maker; cooperation, trends and analytics.
rFlight: unmanned demonstration of transition to flight; publication of the report on the second phase of development; demonstration of unmanned flight process; Phase 2 Fly-Off Invitation Issued.

The conclusion

By 2020, rLoop Network is targeting 15000 participants and implementing one project thanks to the platform. Hyperloop project plans to release a detailed review of the design, to test a half-scaled prototype, to begin the testing and certification process, to begin commercial distribution of peripheral technology. The rBridge project poses the challenge in the release of a full-scale web application, the founding of the first rShop,the reaching of ten thousand creators. The rFlight project plans to promulgate a detailed design, to begin the testing and certification process, to begin commercial distribution of the vehicle and peripheral technology. After all that has been read, there isn’t doubt that it is absolutely necessary to invest in such a project.
