Abstract: The present invention provides a concrete vacuum tube segment for a hyper-speed transportation system using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and a manufacturing method thereof. A concrete vacuum tube segment for a hyper-speed transportation system can be easily manufactured using UHPC, in which shrinkage and structural cracking do not occur due to mixing a binder and a short fiber to secure airtightness on the basis of a maximum fill theory, and accordingly, shrinkage of the concrete vacuum tube segment can be reduced even in a partial-vacuum state in which the magnitude of drying shrinkage is very small and quick drying occurs; when mixing the UHPC, an antifoaming agent is mixed and a circular vacuum pump is used to remove generated entrapped air to minimize the entrapped air; and a capsule-type crack healing material, which is able to repair fine cracks, is compacted to secure airtightness of the concrete vacuum tube segment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a crack repair material of a concrete vacuum tube segment using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) for a hyper-speed transportation system and a crack repairing method for the same capable of, in a case in which a vacuum tube segment of a hyper-speed transportation system, such as the Hyperloop, is manufactured using UHPC, repairing cracks formed in the UHPC vacuum tube segment easily and conveniently using a crack growth prevention material and a patch repair material and capable of immediately repairing cracks formed in the UHPC vacuum tube segment to secure airtightness so that operation of a vacuum pump is minimized and overload of the vacuum pump is prevented.

Abstract: Various embodiments may provide a method of forming an energy conversion device. The method may include forming an electrolyte layer on the first surface of the semiconductor substrate. The method may also include forming a cavity on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate using a deep reactive ion etch. The method may further include enlarging said cavity by carrying out one or more wet etches so that the enlarged cavity is at least partially defined by a vertical arrangement comprising a first lateral cavity surface of the semiconductor substrate extending substantially along a first direction, and a second lateral cavity surface of the semiconductor substrate adjoining the first lateral cavity surface. The method may include forming a first electrode on a first surface of the electrolyte layer, and forming a second electrode on a second surface of the electrolyte layer.
