Terreplane Transportation system

摘要

The Terreplane Transport System is a ground-based transportation comprised of flying vehicles pulled by a propulsion line. An important design feature of the most preferred system is that the propulsion line only experiences longitudinal forces during flight making low-cost propulsion lines possible. A propulsion carriage engages the propulsion line to create acceleration. A connection arm connects the vehicle to the propulsion carriage whereby the cumulative interaction includes the ability to convert impacting and overflowing air into lift complete with control to provided controlled flight based on the longitudinal force conveyed from the propulsion line to the propulsion carriage. The preferred method of conveying the longitudinal force is through linear motors utilizing novel longitudinally asymmetric coils. Novel embodiments include a wind turbine compatible with the guide way structures and an extended application of a bent horseshoe electromagnet for projecting inserts.

1. A transportation system comprising:
a propulsion line that is connected to earth's surface at multiple locations and forms a route for travel of the transportation system, a propulsion carriage that produces a tensile force on the propulsion line and an acceleration on the propulsion carriage where the acceleration is in the direction of the route, and a vehicle connected to the propulsion carriage where the vehicle has aerodynamic vehicle body surfaces that create an aerodynamic lift on the vehicle where said lift is greater than half the weight of the vehicle.
