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

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed system consists of cars equipped with rotor of linear motor, superelectromagnets with superpermanent magnets in their lower part. Stator of linear motor is installed on supports arranged on route and is provided with superconducting winding cooled by liquid helium, and with superelectromagnets and superpermanent magnets whose poles are orientated to create magnetic cushion. All-metal air-tight main line tube made up of separate pipes hermetically interconnected by ring bellows is installed on supports. Windows with hermetically fitted-in glass are made in upper part of tube at both sides along generatrix. Air locks with paraboloid gates divided into sectors and synchronously operated at tight opening and closing by means of hydraulic cylinders are made at terminal and intermediate stops of vehicle. Ramps for motor vehicles and load carriers are made in lower part of air locks at the bottom of main tube end face, and doors opening outwards are made at sides. Wind power generating plants are installed on top of main line tube, mainly at butt joints of separate tubes. Vacuum pumps adjusted for automatic operation are installed over entire length of route on main tube.

EFFECT: provision of safe, cheap and ecologically clean transport system.
