Regional, national and international transport-web infrastructure network system

Abstract

A land-based transportation and infrastructure system that allows high-speed transport for passengers, freight transport, a power management and distribution system. The transport-web infrastructure network system (T.W.I.N.S.) design includes a containment tube-link network that contains within it a transport tube-link network and a utilities grid infrastructure. The transport tube-link network is a vacuum environment within which a transport capsule is levitated by permanent magnets located in the interior of the transport tube plus super-conducting bulk elements located on the capsule and thus combined with a liquid coolant, such as nitrogen or helium, allows for greater speed since no friction exists within such a vacuum environment. Typically, the containment tubes are designed to be sub-ground, even though above ground is also an option.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A transport-web infrastructure network system comprising:
 a transport system containment/housing tube;   a plurality of transport tubes disposed in the containment/housing tube, the plurality of transport tubes operable under vacuum to magnetically move one or more transport capsules therewithin; and   a plurality of bypass stations interconnected by the plurality of the transport system containment/housing tubes and the plurality of transport tubes.   
     
     
         2 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of claim, further comprising a plurality of utility housing tubes within the containment/housing tube. 
     
     
         3 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 1 , further comprising transport tubes for passengers and transport tubes for cargo. 
     
     
         4 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 1 , further comprising transport capsules for passengers and transport capsules for cargo. 
     
     
         5 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 1 , further comprising a service and repair cavity within the containment/housing tube. 
     
     
         6 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 5 , further comprising a servicing and repair platform located in the service and repair cavity and a servicing and repair vehicle adapted to move along the servicing and repair platform. 
     
     
         7 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 1 , wherein the capsules include a double wall with a ball bearing motion system disposed within the double wall. 
     
     
         8 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 1 , wherein the containment/housing tube is disposed sub-ground. 
     
     
         9 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 8 , wherein sand surrounds the containment/housing tube. 
     
     
         10 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting along an outer surface of the containment/housing tube; and   a hydraulic shock absorber disposed between the hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting and a platform disposed on a sub-ground surface.   
     
     
         11 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a bottom, left, and right side hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting along the bottom, left and right hand side of an outer surface of the containment/housing tube; and   a hydraulic shock absorber disposed between each of the bottom, left and the right side hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting and a side platform disposed on a sub-ground surface.   
     
     
         12 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 1 , further comprising an outer perimeter safety catch system. 
     
     
         13 . The transport-web infrastructure network system of  claim 11 , further comprising outer perimeter transition tubes to and from the outer perimeter safety catch system. 
     
     
         14 . A transport-web infrastructure network system comprising:
 a transport system containment/housing tube disposed sub-ground;   a plurality of transport tubes disposed in the containment/housing tube housing, the plurality of transport tubes operable under vacuum to magnetically move one or more transport capsules therewithin;   a plurality of bypass stations interconnected by the plurality of transport and utility tubes;   an outer perimeter safety catch system surrounding the bypass stations;   outer perimeter transition tubes to and from the outer perimeter safety catch system;   sand surrounding the containment/housing tube;   a hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting along an outer surface of the containment/housing tube;   a hydraulic shock absorber disposed between the hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting and a platform disposed on a sub-ground surface;   a bottom, left and a right side hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting along a left and right hand side of an outer surface of the containment/housing tube; and   a hydraulic shock absorber disposed between each of the bottom, left and the right side hydraulic shock absorber attachment fitting and a side platform disposed on a sub-ground surface.
