METHOD OF TRANSPORT FACILITY MOTION IN TUNNEL AND TRANSPORT FACILITY TO MOVE IN TUNNEL IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B61B13/10 B61C3/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway transport. Proposed method comprises running said transport facility consisting of body, motors and wheels in tunnel on rails mounted in said tunnel. Transport facility front and rear sections are provided with air ducts to house propellers, front part is also furnished with air intake device to bleed tunnel air that generates head resistance and rear section is provided with air ejection device to force air into tunnel. Ahead of moving transport facility, rarefaction zone is created by means of said propellers and behind it medium density smaller than that in tunnel is generated by propellers arranged at transport facility front. Pressure in unperturbed medium ahead of transport facility and behind it in uniform motion does not vary. Proposed transport facility comprises body, motors and wheels to run on rails mounted in tunnel. Transport facility front and rear sections are provided with air ducts to house propellers, front part is also furnished with air intake device to bleed tunnel air that generates head resistance and rear section is provided with air ejection device to force air into tunnel.

EFFECT: higher speed.
