TUM Hyperloop
Our group is researching Hyperloop technology for passenger transport. We focus on electromagnetic levitation, suspension, and propulsion, simulation of high-speed aerodynamic phenomena, cooling systems, and vehicle structure and infrastructure topics. Depending on the topic, we work on new test benches and the implementation of various experiments, computationally intensive simulations, or the design of new types of components. Our chair aims to motivate you and other students to develop modern technology for tomorrow – together as a strong team with the power of everyone.
Job Description
Reducing the amount of permanent magnet material in electric machines is one of several objectives to lower costs and reduce material waste. Therefore, in rotating but also linear machines reluctance motors are gaining more interest. Here, we want to design and simulate a linear reluctance machine for high-speed applications with a completely passive track and an active electromagnetic component on the vehicle. The major goal of this investigation is to maximize the thrust force while minimizing the attracting force between rotor (vehicle) and stator (track).
