Claims5
A high-speed transportation system, the system comprising:
- at least one transportation tube having at least one track;
- at least one capsule configured for travel through the at least one tube between stations;
- a propulsion system adapted to propel the at least one capsule through the tube;
- a levitation system adapted to levitate the capsule within the tube;
- and
- at least one switching station arranged in a transportation path along the at least one tube, the transportation path having one upstream transportation path and one downstream transportation path, and at least one additional upstream or downstream transportation path,
- wherein the at least one switching station comprises a moveable door operable to selectively rotate to connect an upstream track portion with a selected downstream track portion.
