Single-track suspension railway - track and chassis floor have corresponding surfaces with intermediate slide medium

摘要

The suspension railway has carriages with a chassis running on a single track. The floor of the chassis (2) has a large surface (3, 4) and near points, the track has a large surface (12), corresponding to this floor size. The large trace surface is positioned opposite to the chassis floor, and has slide elements for it. The slide medium may consist of pressurized airsolid slide material field, distributed over the complete surface of track and/or floor fields. The electromagnetic field is produced in the track, and induces a reverse field in the chassis floor. The slide elements are activated by a signal dependent upon the vehicle position.
