Title
Gravity Powered Rail, Road and Runway transportation systems
Claims
  1. An apparatus comprising of a set of networked Gravity Power Towers, each having a set of vertically moving extremely heavy masses called Power Masses and an intelligent variable main gear system; the said Gravity Power Towers interconnected with one or more similar Gravity Power Towers by High Speed Power Transmission Cables, end-less, roller supported and sag-free, the said Cables having own gear systems at either Gravity Tower and the said gear system gets engaged or disengaged with the said intelligent variable main gear apparatus of the Gravity Power Tower as per direction of the intelligent microprocessor actions; and the said High Speed Power Transmission Cables capable of gripping a rolling mass with built in microprocessors based intelligence and communicating with Gravity Power Towers; the rolling masses running over and along transport mode pathways like existing but suitably modified rail having a hour glass shaped space...show all claims
Abstract
A set of Gravity Power Towers with built in intelligence and connected with each other with a transport guide ways or path ways for the mass to be transported on wheels, form the transport network for transporting people and cargo point to point, powered by gravity. A Gravity Power Tower is a gravity based embodiment for storing substantial potential energy in a number of relatively heavy and vertically moving masses, embodied as Power Mass Modules; release the said potential energy in a controlled manner using a continuously variable intelligent gear system and high speed traveling power transmission cable; the force so applied to accelerate at a fraction of acceleration due to gravity or sustain at steady speed any rolling mass of relatively of a fraction of the size of the masses in said Power Mass module; along a generally horizontal or graded path way; and when the said rolling mass needs to come to halt, the embodiment converts the kinetic energy back to augmenting the potential energy of the vertically moving masses in the Power Mass Module; any shortfall to gain back original status of the potential energy of the masses is made up using external energy like electrical motors; thus the embodiment creates new gravity powered elevated and underground railway, gravity powered road way and gravity powered runway at airports.

The great Indian Puzzle.

The great Indian Puzzle:  own technology to save every single life in land transportation, decongest cities and roads, save fossil fuels, avoid painful land and property acquisition, all weather system, eliminates modal split and seamlessly integrates for both cargo and people, more importantly financially viable, proven and cleared by Government in 2005 itself BUT ignore  and continue to keep doing infrastructure development with century old technologies, proudly too, to add insult to injury, causing tears to land and property owners, spending four times more but unable to achieve any positive result, cities remain congested, floods can shut down cities, accidents keep killing people and losing heavily public funds in terms of subsidising losses since famously these are not financilayy viable. Isn't it height of stupidity or lack of integrity in engineers for misguiding their governments? How history will judge, only time will tell

SKYBUS RAIL : The unique disruptive rail technology of this century.

Image
It is yet to hit experts of railways , that an innocent simple reconfiguration of railway technology elements in 2004 and and World’s First run on Sept 15 2004 of Skybus in Goa,  (    https://youtu.be/TzFH26E6eto  )   actually ushered in a mile stone, which I myself did not realize full implications at that time.   Many centuries of derailing, capsizing and colliding railways which we had been using with expensive mitigating measures, suddenly becomes obsolete.  Even in 2022 there are are hundreds of incidents in the world even in the most advanced railway systems and human lives lost. In 2005, once dynamic tests confirmed safety and more comfortable running of Skybus Rail, the entire world railways stand obsolescent.  To say the 175 year old , evolved highspeed rail too now , is obsolete is shocking . But matters of fact stare at any rational person, to gloss over.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/134GMH5pLrNkvhrXROIhQJvksdDtfeb6u/view     Current serious global warming challenge is e
