The University of Maryland Hyperloop team designed their pod specifically for the SpaceX test track with safety as the top priority. Their pod's major features like magnetic levitation and braking systems were built entirely in-house rather than using commercial parts. They estimate the pod will cost $60,000 to build and can reach speeds of 215 mph. The 28-member student team has experience from companies like Northrop Grumman, Sikorsky, and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.

University of Maryland HYPERLOOP TEAM DISPLAY about our pod Designed to be as fast as possible on the SpaceX Test Track while retaining safety as the top priority, RUMD Loop has very specifically developed our pods systems. Rather than rely on re-purposing systems and parts from the commercial mar- ket, our pods major fea-tures are to be built entirely in house. We are confident that this pod is the best implemen-tation of current technology to compete at Rocket Road. Our specialized systems are: Magnetic Levitation & Control, Permanent Magnetic Eddy Current Brakes, & Failsafe Fric-tion Brakes. Due to our magnetic arrays, our pod sits at the bottom of a potential wellcreating inherent stability and thus safety. 損 Estimated cost to build: $60,000 損 Top speed: 215 mph about our team 損 28 Undergraduate Engineering, Physics, and Computer Science students from the University of Maryland (UMD) and Rutgers University 損 Experience at: Northrop Grumman, Sikorsky, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Marylands Space Systems Laboratory, and UMD Terps Racing www.rumdloop.com UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND- RUTGERS TEAM Materials created for student competition booth, Space X Hyperloop Design Weekend, Jan. 29-30, 2016
