Evacuated tube transport system with interchange capability

A system for Evacuated Tube Transport with a magnetic levitation structure for capsules traveling in an evacuated tube, comprising:

• (a) at least one evacuated tube having an interchange;
• (b) at least one capsule having a length, a top and a bottom and being capable of traveling within said evacuated tube;
• (c) an upper and a lower cryostat respectively mounted on the capsule by means of a removable mounting element, magnetically mounted at the top and bottom of said capsule;
• (d) at least a plurality of superconductor levitation force elements divided between said upper and lower cryostats, said levitation force being spread over at least some of the length of capsule;
• (e) at least a pair of permanent magnetic elements mounted at the top and bottom of said evacuated tube to stably levitate the capsule within said tube;
• (f) at least a pair of capsule based switchable diverge force elements having selectively polarized magnetic force means, said magnetic force means are oriented on the capsule to magnetically interact with electromagnetic material in corresponding areas in the tube to supply ample steering force to cause the capsule to diverge at the interchange,
• (g) at least a pair of tube based diverge force elements that cooperate with the capsule based switchable diverge force elements to enable the capsule to diverge at the interchange.
