# Hyperloop: Not so fast!28

Posted by Guy Rouleau,

Hyperloop: Not so fast! This week Matt Brauer is back to describe work he did to analyze the trajectory of the Hyperloop proposal. This is a key input to the Hyperloop Simulink models we are building. Matt's conclusion is surprising: From the perspective of geographic constraints and rider comfort, the 760 mph peak speed is... read more >>

# Hyperloop Model Architecture: We want your feedback!5

Posted by Guy Rouleau,

Hyperloop Model Architecture: We want your feedback! We had some fun in our last post about the Hyperloop open source transportation system, but we didn't get much into the specifics. This week we begin to move things forward. Before beginning to analyze the feasibility of individual components, we decided to think about how we would architect a Simulink... read more >>

# Don’t Engineer The Hyperloop in a Vacuum2

Posted by Guy Rouleau,

Don’t Engineer The Hyperloop in a Vacuum Since it was released in August, the Hyperloop proposal by Elon Musk generated a lot of interest. Reactions were both positive and negative. As you can imagine, it also triggered a lot of discussions at Mathworks. This week, we present you the synopsis of a discussion Seth, Matt and I recently... read more >>

After trying a few of the demos included with the Simulink support package for Raspberry Pi, I began thinking about what I could do next. Just for fun, I thought... could I get a Simulink model deployed on the Raspberry Pi to send Tweets? Sending Tweets... read more >> # Congratulations to the Winners of the 2012 Simulink Student Challenge!1 Posted by Guy Rouleau, Congratulations to the Winners of the 2012 Simulink Student Challenge! The 2012 Simulink Student Challenge is complete and we have our winners! Thanks to everyone who participated. All of the entries were amazing. 3rd place Artemiy Smekhov for his model of horizontal movement of four-wheeled vehicle. This video really showcases how to build a Simulink model and how easy it can be... read more >> # Simulink Student Challenge – Targeting Hardware: Win up to$500!1

Posted by Guy Rouleau,

Simulink Student Challenge – Targeting Hardware: Win up to $500! One of my favorite feature in R2012a is the Simulink Support for Target Hardware. Personally, I use it for many purposes. I use the Arduino target to control my homemade sous-vide cooking system and I use the LEGO target to teach Simulink and Model-Based Design. What about you? To see how students are... read more >> # Model-Based Design Dilemma15 Posted by Guy Rouleau, Model-Based Design Dilemma I am currently working on a model and I have a dilemma. There are two ways I could model my system. I need you to tell me which approach is best and why. I need your help! The Goal I am building a model to drive a small robot made of Lego blocks.... read more >> # Simulink Student Challenge Results Posted by Guy Rouleau, Simulink Student Challenge Results Do you remember that a few months ago Seth posted a video to launch the first Simulink Student Challenge? We are very impressed by all the entries. Thanks to everyone who participated! Here are the winners!
