Abstract
A track has an acceleration zone and an inertial running zone. The acceleration zone is to accelerate a car lifted by a lifting apparatus having a stationary power source through a steep down slope. The track is disposed approximately horizontal in the inertial running zone as the car proceeds mainly by inertial running. The car is provided with a seat as to oscillate corresponding to gravity and acceleration of the car. A control means to control the oscillation of the seat is provided. The seat oscillates corresponding to gravity and acceleration in lifting by the lifting apparatus and in the acceleration zone.
Claims13
A passenger transportation system comprising a track having an acceleration zone and an inertial running zone, in which a car is lifted by a lifting apparatus having a stationary power source and accelerated through a steep down slope in the acceleration zone, and the track is disposed approximately horizontal as the car proceeds mainly by inertial running in the inertial running zone.
A passenger transportation system comprising a track only a part of which is provided with a feeding acceleration zone in which a car is accelerated and the rest of the track is an inertial running zone in which the car inertially runs without driving.
A passenger transportation system comprising a track provided with two rails of round pipe, and a car having upper wheels, side wheels, and lower wheels which rotate and contact the rail from an upper side, left and right sides, and a lower side.
A passenger transportation system comprising a track having an acceleration zone and an inertial running zone, in which a car is lifted by a lifting apparatus having a stationary power source and accelerated through a steep down slope in the acceleration zone, the track is disposed approximately horizontal as the car proceeds mainly by inertial running in the inertial running zone, the car is provided with at least one seat as to oscillate corresponding to gravity and acceleration of the car and a control means to control the oscillation of the seat, and the seat oscillates corresponding to gravity and acceleration in lifting by the lifting apparatus and in the acceleration zone.
A passenger transportation system comprising a track, only a part of which is provided with a feeding acceleration zone in which a car is accelerated and the rest of the track is an inertial running zone in which the car inertially runs without driving, in which the car is provided with at least one seat to oscillate corresponding to gravity and acceleration of the car and a control means to control the oscillation of the seat.
