- Title
- Gravity Powered Rail, Road and Runway transportation systems
- Claims
- 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.
