Daryl Oster ’s Summary
Evacuated Tube Transport (ETT) is a new transportation technology that needs 1/50th of the energy of trains, cars or planes, is ultra clean, safe, and fast. The focus of ETT is to minimize total transportation costs, while maximizing benefits. Any individual or company may profit by participating in ETT implementation.
Travel in ETT takes place without air resistance since air is permanently removed from the sealed tube guideway (unlike common pneumatic tube systems that rely on air in the tube for propulsion). Pressurized 6 seat (first-class comfort) capsules travel on nearly frictionless Maglev in the evacuated tubes. Airlocks allow access while excluding air. Linear electric motors quickly accelerate the capsules, and then they silently coast using no more power. ETT speed will be about 350mph local, and developed to 4,000mph for international travel (DC to Beijing in 2 hours). Regenerative braking recovers most of the acceleration energy. ETT will be networked like expressways, and operate upon demand. Travel is non-stop to any selected destination in the automated ETT network without congestion or collision risk. Stations will be disbursed where they are needed (like freeway exits).
A 350mph ETT infrastructure is 1/4th the cost of a freeway, a 1/10th of the cost of elevated high-speed rail (HSR), yet 10 times the capacity; with operating costs a 1/10th as much as a plane, train or hybrid car. Since a 400lb ETT capsule can carry the same 800lb passengers or cargo load of the typical SUV, ETT guideway requires less than 1/30th as much material as HSR infrastructure. Other factors that keep ETT cost low are: lifespan is long, automated construction, low parts count, and few moving parts; and all technologies and materials, to implement ETT are in production. © 2007, et3.com Inc. 34423-1423
Daryl Oster ’s Specialties:
The ETT Patent is assigned to et3.com Inc. (et3 stands for Evacuated Tube Transport Technologies), an open consortium of licensees who collaborate to build ETT using: people, materials, parts, technologies, skills, production capacities, and other assets that they own or influence. When enough licensees who have key elements for ETT assemble in the growing et3 consortium, the risk-to-reward-ratio will improve enough to attract private capital. © 2007, et3.com Inc. 34423-1423
