The University of Waterloo Hyperloop Pod Competition Team Design Re-Launch
The University of Waterloo Hyperloop Pod Competition Team Design Re-Launch
This project is the response by a group of dedicated University of Waterloo students to the SpaceX Hyperloop pod challenge to independently design and build a prototype Hyperloop pod to be tested on a one-mile test track in Hawthorne, California in January 2017.
Welcome to GOOSE I: our fully re-designed Hyperloop pod prototype -faster and lighter than ever.

Our prototype design uses a minimalist style while retaining strict safety considerations. By selecting this design philosophy, a reduction in the manufacturing complexity, cost and mass is achieved, while simultaneously permitting an effective travel speed and increased reliability. Our attempt to build the pod with off-the-shelf components throughout the system allows for it to be scalable to full size and to reduce cost. Furthermore, the flexibility inherent in such a modular design allows for additional functionality and aesthetic flourishes to be included without significantly impacting the pod’s core functions.
Enter GOOSE X: our newly re-designed concept pod that imagines the passenger vehicle of the future.

The GOOSE X is our conceptual Hyperloop passenger vehicle design which illustrates what a Hyperloop vehicle will one day look like, once the technology is ready for passenger use. This design won't be built, but it is directly inspired by the pod that we are building for the competition at about two times the size.
Waterloop is comprised of like minded students that share the same vision of changing the future of transportation. Years of study vary from first year to Masters students, ranging in disciplines. The team has grown from a small group of students of 15-20 to a now 150+ organization working towards making this idea a reality.
