In both cases, liquid nitrogen pipes are laid under sliding metal surface for providing icing of inclined guide, said liquid nitrogen being circulated by means of respective equipment and units. Guide and vehicle are enclosed in hermetically sealed enclosure along the entire length of path. Vacuum is maintained in said enclosure. Glass or organic glass is embedded into some portions of enclosure wall. The entire construction of hermetically sealed vehicle embraces guide at both sides by means of spherical supports adapted for preventing guide from swinging.
