Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT)

Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT)
A patented technology where travel occurs without air friction or rolling resistance (like “Space Travel on Earth”); ETT can accomplish 50 times more transportation per kWh than electric cars or trains. ETT is silent, low cost, safe, faster than jets, and is electric.

Air is permanently removed from 2 tubes along a travel route (two-way). Pressurized car sized passenger capsules travel in the tubes on frictionless maglev. Airlocks at stations allow transfer without admitting air. Linear electric motors accelerate the capsules, then they coast through the vacuum most of the trip using no power. Energy is recovered when they stop.

Speed in initial ETT systems is 350 mph for in state trips, and will be developed to 4,000 mph for international travel that will take you from NYC to Beijing in 2 hours at a tenth the cost of airfare. ETT is networked as are freeways. ETT capsules (hauling up to 6 people or 3 pallets of cargo) are automatically routed non-stop between “off-line” stations that are disbursed according to demand, so ETT has potential to eventually serve homes.

ETT capsules weigh only 400 lbs, yet like a SUV, haul 800lbs of people or cargo. A twentieth as much guideway material is required to support ETT capsules than to support locomotives. Material savings, and use of automated pipeline production, drops cost to less than a tenth the cost of High Speed Rail, or a fourth the cost of a freeway. With automated passive switching, a single 350mph ETT tube can exceed 16 lanes freeway capacity, further economizing.

Collectively companies have invested billions developing ETT; (although most are not aware of it yet); for instance, many companies produce pipelines (tubes), vacuum pumps, and electronics to automate it all. Everything exists to start building ETT now. ETT is being implemented in Asia; we can wait and buy ETT from others; OR we can leverage our superior capacities and be first to market.

The ETT Patent is assigned to et3.com Inc., an open consortium. An inclusive license agreement offers any entity incentives to participate in ETT implementation using their “off-the-shelf” assets (materials, parts, technologies, skills, labor, and capacities).

Comment by Eric Koch on March 17, 2009 at 5:56pm: Hey Cecil,

good ta have ya with us....it is puzzling why there aren't more members.

really though, this is Daryl's gig...but understanding the parallelogram of forces and electromagnetic drives and systems, I've looked it over, and it is definitely doable...and the claimed performance and cost figures are not a stretch either.

Transit,agriculture,and economic models based on never ending growth, are our biggest problems that we can do anything about..that said, it would be in this nations best interest to assemble techs from all the American MagLev upstarts under this cause....it's modular,cost effective,TBM friendly, and unbeatabley efficient....and because it's modular, the enginering could be worked out virtually to a very high degree of precition in no time....high enough to say, Yup, that'll work....and it will.

Comment by cecil friend on March 17, 2009 at 4:08pm: hi erik , thanks for the invite.....i can visualize the system you are proposing...like everything that requires money and public opinion , either the private sector or thru military initative, a pilot program built on a military base or corporate industrial complex would be a way to perform and prove up the system......I think you have a great idea, if you could prove the system in a economical model , and give ideas to how to phase it into present transport modes, like anything else, most people would give you a hearing....ALREADY, you have me thinking of airport shuttle tubes from the parking lots, large military bases shuttling civilan workers and supplies to and from certaion areas on base...you are on to something....just have to find or touch the right people.....cecil....thanks for the contact...

Comment by Eric Koch on March 17, 2009 at 12:18pm: Damit I'm SO PISSED.....i don't see this high speed rail promoting a free ranging habitat....it's the economics of the format.

ETT would have been ecco friendly by the nature of its desighn...(the smoke is starting to pour out of my ears now)

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHGGGGGTTHHHHHHRRRRRAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

Hey Darly,

any chance of packageing ETT with with multi lane moving belt walks powerd by down trafic only regenerative elevators.....ya know "stairs: there not just for emergencys anymore"...do ya think that might get it....i'm just grabin at straws here.

Comment by Eric Koch on March 17, 2009 at 11:01am: Walter,

it's making more sense now....high speed rail..LA to Vegas + M/SP to Chicago...

better than cars and airplanes...no doubt....but better than ETT?
I really would like to see a break down on why this was the clear choice.

Comment by Eric Koch on March 17, 2009 at 10:52am: Crap....ETT should have gotten this ticket... must have been lower start up?

i shure hope ETT was at least on the line up when this decition was made...does anyone know?

Comment by WALTER REED on February 17, 2009 at 8:52pm: Hi Larry:

I'm not so certain to rule out sustainable cities. The Romans did pretty good in their time with that. Now we see viable concepts in vertical farming and biologicals. We see Sxyzicity capabilities ultimately aimed at such possibilities. There are new concepts for de-salinization of seawater, effective recycling of city water, new interests for catch basins and new capabilites to build ultra-stable ocean surface cities some five square, differencial temperature power generation, thus expanding coastal land-mass.

Comment by WALTER REED on February 17, 2009 at 8:43pm: The only word I've heard is a high-speed rail link between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Comment by Eric Koch on February 17, 2009 at 6:27pm: Hey Daryl,

I just got word of a prospective high speed rail between Chicago and Minniapolis/St.Paul....Have you herd any thing on this?

If you haven't I can try to dig up some contacts...let me know...k.

Comment by Eric Koch on January 31, 2009 at 3:26pm: Insanity:

I Know...Let's all build brand new 3400 sq. ft. homes in the country....YEAH!!!!

(don't laugh...this is some peoples idea of "green"......seriously.)
