Begun in 1904, the vactrain concept was first introduced by Robert H. Goddard. This concept has a potential to bring about a revolutionary change in the way we contemplate transportation in our daily lives. In today’s fast paced life style, the time taken to travel on an average by any human being is roughly 228 h in a year and we spend roughly 10% of our total income for the purpose of commuting. The concept of vactrain has been modernized as hyperloop transportation which has made substantial progress in the recent years. This system can be used for both passenger and freight operations which are 5 times faster in speed, relatively economical and environment friendly mode of traversing. With research and development taking place globally, one of the technical demanding issues involves effective suspension, levitation and propulsion. The suspension and levitation system has been evolved by utilizing Electromagnetic suspension, Electro dynamic suspension and Electro dynamic wheel. Likewise, the propulsion system utilizes the use of different configurations of linear induction motors. Motivated by several studies on Hyperloop, we have researched on ‘lightweight Capsule solutions’ (LCS) which employs a hybrid excited EDS along with EDW based on axial flux motors. Axial Flux permanent magnet machines (AFPM) is a capable contender for electric propulsion applications owing to its high-power density, high efficiency and effective volume utilization. It has the highest possible torque to weight ratio in comparison to radial flux permanent machines (RFPM). The most promising AFPM structure (TORUS) that can be employed has been presented in this review.
