This thesis investigates the design of a levitation system for a Hyperloop pod, undertaken in
collaboration with the HYPED society at the University of Edinburgh. It critically examines
various levitation techniques to select the most suitable design for the Hyperloop’s high-speed
requirements. Through the application of electromagnetic theory and mathematical modeling, the study ensures the selected design offers not only feasibility in levitation but also
optimisation for energy efficiency. Theoretical simulations and experimental data collectively
validate the practical viability of the design. This comprehensive approach ensures the levitation system is both effective and efficient, contributing to the advancement of Hyperloop
technology.
