Congratulations! Delft Hyperloop Wins SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition
Yet another dreamteam has shown the world the innovative and technical strengths of the students of TU Delft. The Delft Hyperloop team won the Space X Hyperloop competition last weekend. Congrats guys!
29 teams from all over the world participated in the competition held by Elon Musk. They build ‘pods’ for the futuristic concept of Hyperloop, a transport system in which people and goods will travel through tubes with an incredible high speed. After months of preparations and design all teams got the chance to test their pods at SpaceX, Los Angeles, where a tube of 1,25 kilometers was built, trying to achieve the highest speed as possible. During the competition the pod of Delft hyperloop reached a speed of 90 km/h. In longer tubes the prototype should be able to reach up to 1200 km/h. Also the design and construction of the Delft prototype was awarded with the first prize!
A picture says more than a thousand words
Are you currently having the time of your life abroad because of your studies? Or were you abroad in the previous semester for an exchange or internship, voluntary work, to do research or take specific courses? You must have taken a bunch of pictures, that (will) remind you of these happy times! But did you know that next month, February, one of these pictures can earn you prices? WilWeg and Erasmus+ are looking for the ‘ultimate experience abroad’, and will therefore launch a photo contest.
Upload a photo that specifically illustrates your experience abroad on wilweg.nl/fotowedstrijd between 1 February and 28 February and you could win an Ipad (1th place), a GoPro camera (2nd place) or a Polaroid camera (3rd place). The winners will be announced in March.
After the contest has finished all photographs will be used for both online and offline promotion by Wilweg and Erasmus+. You can read more about these rules at the website.
