HIGH-SPEED GROUND TRANSPORT SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: use is made of movable body with straight rotor of linear electric motor. Stator is installed on supports arranged on route and is provided with superconducting winding cooled by liquid helium. Superelectromagnets are mounted on supports and on body being pointed to each other by like poles creating repelling effect in form of magnetic cushion. Supports are made with trough-like upper parts orientated in direction of movement, their height being not less than two-fold overall dimensions of operating vehicle. Superpermanent magnets are mounted on trough-like surface of supports, on bottom and on lower part of side walls of body in combination with superelectromagnets. Service receiver of compressed air is installed in lower part of each support. Automatically controlled valve is installed on its upper part, on service pipe to deliver compressed air along branched system of pipes over entire trough-like area of support and to create additional lifting force, cleaning from snow, ice and dust. Lower part of service receiver is connected through pipe with main line pipeline-receiver laid in ground or in tunnel along entire length of route.

EFFECT: increased speed and reliability of running, reduced expenses and no harmful effect on environment.
