The Interstate Traveler Rail suspension and propulsion system.The horizontally oriented slotted linear propulsion motors used in tandem with the vertical linear suspension motors creates an attitude control system that will allow a computer to manipulate the vehicle to control aerodynamic lift. This application of technology is unique to the Interstate Traveler which demonstrates how the Interstate Traveler Rail will fully optimize maglev technology beyond any efficiency claim of other maglev rail systems. By this method, the Interstate Traveler Rail employs aerodynamic lift to completely remove the costly vertical electromagnetic force required for levitation thereby reducing the energy required to sustain high speed forward motion to a fraction of the energy required by other maglev systems. This application of technology truly allows the Interstate Traveler Rail Transports to "fly" without leaving the safety of the stainless steel guild rails. The linear motor / levitation system is designed to include a levitation gap tolerance technology that will calculate the weight of the car by the amount of power required to maintain gap tolerance. This data is fed into the cost monitoring system to determine the price of moving a car on the Interstate Traveler Rail. Also, the linear motor suspension system, provides for the tilt and pitch of the car as it accelerates, decelerates and banks on curves to maintain the g-forces perpendicular to the floor. With this system in operation, all movement is translated into gradual change in perceived gravity within the car. The result of this integration allows for a cup of coffee to sit on a table, and not move while the car is accelerating, decelerating and banking. This can be seen in via computer simulation by clicking on the following link [Traveler Suspension] For the purpose of a real time attitude control system, Roll Pitch and Yaw may be easily controlled with a combination of linear motor and spherical motor integration to articulate each of the four primary motors on a typical ITC Maglev rail car, where the spherical motor provides a ball in socket support system that creates a controllable conical positioning system for each of the four or six motors supporting the ITC Maglev rail cars. The purpose of Roll, Pitch and Yaw, is for the real time control of g-force vector position during acceleration, deceleration and banking in turns. As the speed of the car will be totally dynamic based on network traffic, the static attitude of the Interstate Traveler Rail installation can not be depended on for banking, therefore a real time attitude control system will be integrated into the suite of electric motors that levitate, propel and suspend each car. Essentially, from top to bottom, each car sits on four spherical motors, that sit on four linear motors (shock absorbers/elevators) that sit on four spherical motors that sit on four slotted linear/levitation motors that wrap around the rail. |
