Eat, sleep, drift, repeat. #engineering #hyperloop #electrical #mechanical #propulsion #university #students #innovation #milestone

check check check! Our electrical team saw some great results testing the electrical systems last week! Here, we're testing the pod indicator lights and motor 💡⚙️ #hyperloop #electrical #engineering #university #students

Testing our logic board's temperature detection. This uses the STM32 as the MCU and a temperature sensitive resistor is what we're testing.

@TransPod_Inc @RajanJSaw @RicMcIver @Colliers @jkenney @YourAlberta @CityofEdmonton @cityofcalgary @BuildingTradeAB @brittradius Exciting news! Seeing a lot of negativity in these comments, but we hope this project is able to provide sustainable transportation options for everyone someday.

We are thrilled to share that #TransPod has confirmed $550M USD finance for the construction of the #Alberta TransPod Line in Canada to connect the cities of Edmonton and Calgary with fast, affordable, and #sustainable ultra-high-speed #transportation. (1/2)

hmm I wonder if I should touch the LIM

Also did some soldering with a heat gun because our iron isn't working well. Such is the life of a student team!

Twitter manager gets her hands dirty for once:

@MalikaiHPL Absolutely! Good to see someone's as excited as we are about it.

Hyperloop is coming and it’s nothing you can do to stop it . #Hyperloop

We are very excited to announce the teams participating in this years in person event! First up is Waterloop, from the University of Waterloo

@albertaloop Hey, same tech as our pod! Great to see such a succinct summary of the concept.

Happy Monday! Take some time to learn about the basics of a linear induction motor and how we are utilizing this technology for our hyperloop project! If you have any questions or want to learn more, feel free to contact ABLoop@ualberta.ca.

@mbellsca @UWaterloo @WR_Record Hey, that's us! Thanks so much for sharing.

A @UWaterloo is working to develop futuristic levitating pods that can move people or cargo at breathtaking speeds therecord.com/news/waterloo-… via @wr_record #Hyperloop

Thanks to @WR_Record for writing about our team! Check it out: therecord.com/news/waterloo-…

@verge Looks like alternative methods of transport are more important than ever.

Our GreenTech event is coming soon on March 25th! The logo was inspired by these very round geese on uWaterloo campus. Sign up to learn more about how we can built a more #sustainable future for us (and these geese): tinyurl.com/uwgreentech

Take a look at our BMS board: this PCB was designed by our team to make sure our battery cells charge and discharge correctly. It also implements a number of our battery safety features. It has an STM32 microcontroller, which we use pretty often!

@adamkeatingnl @elonmusk That's so cool how you were at the first hyperloop competition, our team was there too!

5 years ago we tweeted at @elonmusk. 3 hours later he showed up in person at our hyperloop pod tent to help us… The backstory? 👇🧵

@cutiepiesunite @JoshuaPotash While we appreciate what Elon Musk has done for the hyperloop concept, hyperloop isn't just Elon Musk anymore. Many organizations around the world have been doing amazing work on this technology!

Elon Musk is the perfect billionaire. He grew up rich, got richer by taking government money, and convinced people he’s a genius when he can’t even make a car that doesn’t kill people.

Happy #WomenInScience day to all the women on our team! We appreciate and support all women breaking barriers in #STEM.
