The future transportation

Filed under: Technology — grapes99 @ 11:13 am

In today’s world we give more importance for time than anything. If you travel from new york to los angeles by plane it takes 6 hrs to cover 3950 km distance. If we develop faster mode of transportation we can reach in 31.5 mins at an average speed of 8350 km/hr.We wonder how it is possible? but it is possible in the future. This system is called “planetarium”. A magnetically suspended tram moving through a pipeline at a low pressure. The thrust is generated by the pressure difference at the other end of vehicle. The tube inside which the vehicle moves is sectioned into locked compartments, all the compartments are at a different pressure so that pressure falls in the outward direction. These pressure drops propel the vehicle until compartment no. 50 for example. The pressure is only 98 pa. which corresponds to atmospheric pressure at an altitude of 50 km. Thus fairly low pressure is established for the remaining length of tube & the accelerated vehicle pierces at an enourmous speed. When the vehicle is on way back, the pressure settings are obviously reversed. The acceleration down the initial section is limited by passenger comfort. The contraction of such a system is an extremely involved energetic challenge. The most challenging problem is the concentration of the scheduled large diameter pipeline extending for a greater distance. This is possible for the oil & gas transportation. The construction of tube carrying wheel less vehicles at the space speeds may be possible tomorrow.
