Product or Service Concept
  • ITC Rail Conduit Cluster is a magnetic levitation light rail system that draws its energy entirely from sunlight.  Via a photovoltaic array along the length of the rail, sunlight is converted to electricity, which is then used to convert water into hydrogen and oxygen.  That hydrogen then powers fuel cells that propel passenger-, auto- and cargo-ferries along the elevated rail.  Traffic is routed with the same technology that directs information over the Internet (TCP/IP), allowing for ‘on/off’ stations along the entire route (whether it be in a loop around a metropolitan area or a coast to coast stretch where speeds can exceed 300 mph on the open road).

Mission Statement
  • Mass production of high-speed maglev rail (ITC Rail)
  • Built with tons of high quality stainless steel (jobs)
  • Full Integration w/existing Interstate Highway System
  • Grand Feeder for all transit systems and city centers.
  • Traveler Stations at every egress to the Interstate
  • Highly secure passenger travel (biometric)
  • Easily expanded / interconnected transit system
  • Generate Electricity, Surplus Hydrogen, water, etc.

The Ten Deliverables
  • Rapid Transit = $/mile
  • Hydrogen = $/kilogram
  • Electricity = $/kilowatt
  • Energy Storage = $/kilowatt
  • Fiberoptics = $/bandwidth
  • Fuel pipelines = $/gallon or cubic foot
  • Liquid waste = $/barrel
  • Advertising = $/sign
  • Brand New Water = $/liter
  • Internet access/Telecom = $/minute

Value Proposition
  • For the benefit of everyone
  • Who are dissatisfied with the lack of a national rapid transit system, and who wish to transition to a hydrogen economy.
  • Our product is the ITC Rail Conduit Cluster that provides rapid transit, energy & municpal infrastructure
  • Unlike old rapid transit systems our is cheap to build, is nimble, and is made of the most resilient materials.
  • We have assembled a unified municipal conduit and built it into a plug and play interstate rapid transit system that runs on it’s own power.
