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
In this thesis, you will take ownership of an experimental project: designing and realizing a cryostat made from stainless steel or carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers, mounted on a vehicle operating within the TUM Hyperloop Demonstrator tube. Your tasks include designing and assembling the vehicle, performing thermal simulations in Ansys to optimize the cryostat design, and integrating the cryostat along with its subcomponents into the vehicle. In the final stage, high-temperature superconducting coils cooled by liquid nitrogen will be installed and tested as part of the hyperloop’s propulsion system.
Your Tasks
- Conduct thermal simulations in Ansys.
- Design a vehicle and cryostat with CAD.
- Talk and negotiate with potential suppliers.
- Assemble the test bench and work with liquid nitrogen.
- Voraussetzungen
Our Requirements
- Passion for working experimentally, no fear of cryogenic liquids, and trying new things.
- At least medium-sized experience with finite element software and/or CAD.
- English and German language skills for communication with suppliers.
- Perseverance to finish tasks with high reliability and on time.
- Experience with electronics is a plus.
Our Offer
- Working with students and researchers in a highly motivated young research team.
- Experience in a new field of research that is gaining importance.
