TU Delft | Dream Hall

Welcome Dream Teams to the TU Delft | Dream Hall! The last couple of months the TU Delft Dream Hall has been buzzing with activity. Our, now seven, TU Delft Dream Teams have started working on their technologically innovative projects. These projects are based on the strategic societal priorities of the TU Delft: Climate Action, Energy Transition, Health & Care, Digital Society and Urbanization & Mobility. Within these areas, each multidisciplinary team of students has the freedom to shape their own dream of radical innovation. Interested in how the Dream Teams make their dreams come true this year? Project MARCH focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals with a spinal cord injury. They push exoskeleton technology to enable people with paraplegia to stand and walk again. In October 2024, the team and their pilot will compete in the international CYBATHLON competition in Zürich, aiming to complete all ten daily obstacles within 10 minutes. Eco-Runner Team Delft designs, builds and tests the most efficient hydrogen-powered car on Earth to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen in the energy transition. This year, their objective is to make the Eco-Runner street-legal and break the World Record for the furthest distance covered on just one tank of hydrogen, following the route of the 'Elfstedentocht'! Emergence Delft combines Art and Technology to research and develop new artistic instruments, reflecting on our evermore digital society and opening up the black box of technology. One of their projects this year is an infrared projector, showcased during the Highlight Delft Festival. They also aim to compete in the annual Prix Ars Electronica, the world's most well-known media arts competition. Delft Hyperloop develops an innovative hyperloop system to accelerate its full-scale implementation. With their new hyperloop pod and scalability research, they aim to win the Complete System Award and Full-Scale Awards during the European Hyperloop Week 2024 in Zürich. Space Oasis Delft designs a self-sustaining Lunar village with biomimetic habitats to win the space category ‘The Lunar or Martian Village’ of the international architecture competition hosted by the Jacques Rougerie Foundation. TU Delft Hydro Motion Team designs, builds, tests, and sails an innovative foiling hydrogen-powered boat in just one year to propel the maritime industry towards a sustainable future. They aim to sail between the Netherlands and the United Kingdom as the world’s first foiling hydrogen-powered boat. Team Epoch contributes to the positive development of Artificial Intelligence by participating in global AI competitions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Bon Voyage TU Delft Hydro Motion Team! After weeks of intense testing on the Amer and the North Sea, the TU Delft Hydro Motion Team is proud to present their foiling hydrogen-powered boat to the public. In the upcoming weeks, they are ready to become the first fully hydrogen-powered boat to cross the North Sea from the Netherlands to the United Kingdom! Their boat is designed and built specifically for this challenging North Sea crossing, prioritising robustness, stability, and safety. Their mission goes beyond the crossing; by achieving all of this in just one year, they aim to show the impact of student-driven innovation on the energy transition and hope to demonstrate that rapid innovation in the maritime is possible. We wish them the best of luck in crossing the North Sea! #HydroMotion #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Transportation #Mobility #Hydrogen #Maritime #Innovation #Boat #Foiling #NorthSea #Crossing #TUDelft #TUDelftDreamHall #TUDelftDreamTeam #ddream

Today, we had the honour of hosting our partners for the final event of the year to express our gratitude for their support. At the Bon Voyage event, we reflected on our testing phase and the potential impact of our project on the maritime industry. Collaboration is key to achieving the changes in infrastructure and legislation that we aspire to. The support from major companies is crucial in helping us reach our goals. We are immensely grateful to the partners who joined us to bid farewell and wish us a successful journey, as well as to all those who have supported us throughout this year. Thank you for believing in our vision and for being an integral part of our journey. A special thanks to Therese Zahl Remoy, Michel Janssen, Gijs Bruining and Ed Van Aalst for sharing their thoughts on the industry and our project. #TUDelftHydroMotionTeam #HydroMotion #HydroMotionTeam #TUDelft #boat #hydrogen #hydrogenboat #sustainable #sustainability #hydrofoiling #hydrofoil #hydrofoils #innovation #students #challengethefuture #dreamteam #BonVoyage

The Future of travel: Discover the Delft Hyperloop station at Schiphol We are excited to unveil our fully integrated Hyperloop station inside Schiphol Airport, designed with the vision of replacing short-haul flights within Europe. By taking Schiphol as a case study, this project was brought to life through extensive advice, consultation, and collaboration with many esteemed companies and partners. Our Hyperloop station is crafted to be fast, secure, and comfortable, ensuring a seamless passenger experience. Thanks to the station's compact design it fits perfectly in the limited space of Schiphol. By integrating this state-of-the-art Hyperloop station with an airport, we have created a ground breaking starting point to revolutionize short-haul travel in Europe. We can finally show what our Design Engineers have been working on all year. We are happy to see that all their hard work has paid off! #DelftHyperloop #Hyperloop #Innovation #Design #Travel #Schiphol #FutureOfTravel #SustainableTravel #Seamless #Omniverse #Nvidia

Discover the Future of a Self-Sustaining Lunar Habitat!   Join Space Oasis Delft as they present their final design for a self-sustaining lunar habitat at the Aula of the TU Delft on Friday 28th of June at 18:00.   The Dream Team will reveal their complete design for a self-sustaining lunar village. This design aims to create a human habitat independent of Earth by utilising in situ resources as part of a circular economy approach. It needs to meet several criteria, including the human place in the project, biomimicry and bio-inspired solutions, and innovation & technique   The team has developed comprehensive life-support systems, providing solutions for food production, health, and overall well-being in a lunar environment. Advanced engineering plans detail the construction materials, environmental adaptations, and sustainable energy sources needed to build and power the habitat. The habitat structure ensures optimal living conditions on the Moon, and detailed 3D renderings illustrating the habitat’s layout and functionality will bring their vision to life.   With this project, they aim to win the space category ‘The Lunar or Martian Village’ in the ‘International Architecture and Innovation Competition’ hosted by the Jacques Rougerie Foundation.   Interested? Come and discover how Space Oasis Delft is contributing to the future of space exploration!

TEST-TRACK BUILD UP IS COMPLETE After 5 intensive months, we have completed the construction of our test-track just outside of our office (at the TU Delft | Dream Hall)! We are now ready to start testing the first ever hyperloop lane switch (which will also be demonstrated on the 11th of June)! With this system we aim to win the full pod award at the European Hyperloop Week 2024. Over the past weeks, we have also had some esteemed guests visit us. We gave them an insight into what we are creating this year. First, the Indian Ambassador of the Netherlands gave us a visit together with his team. On top of that, last Tuesday we had the honor of receiving the King of Sweden, Carl Gustaf, here at the Dream Hall. In the coming weeks we will start testing Helios III on the entire length of the track, after which everything will be packed up and ready to be transported towards the EHW in Zurich. Intrigued by what you see? Or just curious about the track and how it works? Want to check out the latest innovations? Then we have good news! We will start giving Delft Hyperloop Track Tours in the coming weeks. Want to be the first to have an exclusive look at our track?
