This is rethinking the present, soon to be future human economy, towards permant environmentally neutral sustainability.



Global economic permanat sustainable efficency.

Everything is as complicated as rocket science.

This is about the basic principles, equipment and structural design ideas that possibly from first in history prototypes, demonstrate the economic benifits of a well designed single vehicle type serving all needs global commerce guideway.  The guideway system is a modern design replacement for all existing Transportation, energy, market delivery, food production and the creation of multi century self supporting housing for everybody on the planet.  This is all designed into the system from the start.

The reason not one known person beside myself has said this has long been possible is no one made a effort to design towards this looking at all other possibilities with as much interest at the same time.  Trying to put all electric or renewable fuel vehicles on the already built streets and highways solves no problems while creating new ones.  Thirty million miles of guideway built in mostly about twenty years will cost less than just replacing diesel and gas’s road vehicles with methane and electric vehicles.  I was designing hydrogen vehicle systems in the late 1960s and learned the hard way they have less place than continuing the suicidal use of coal.  There is no place for the lower carbon dioxide but higher methane bleed release that is a greater environmental warming from methane vehicles.  Air vehicles are the worst in senergy efficency per ton mile and passenger mile.  Even on hydrogen the place water vapor at high altitudes and the guideways are faster and require lower main route inter city and transoceanic tube cost than building and operating labor intensive airports.  Rail vehicles are twenty times as linearly heavy as the average span load for the proposed design guideways and are about two to four times less efficient in operation per ton mile not just lower energy efficency but additionally lower asset cost per ton mile per year.  A $75,000 guideway vehicle can carry a million ton miles a year plus another half million passenger miles a year.  Railroads can not be placed every where while the guideway can be placed where roads can not go at less cost per mile than most narrow alley ways and rural gravel roads are built.  Road vehicles are inherently inefficient by ancient designs carried over from one new version every few years to the present for centuries.  No one ever mentions high frontal area no taper or all bluff body designs.  No one mentions the lack of wrap around and highly elongated pointed front and rear air bumpers.

The guideway is based on the observation that nearly all people given simple promps and the right economic tools can become totally self managing of global infra structure and industry.  Once realeased to service the guideway is a dozens of parallel element reliability vending machine.

Armies of specialist experts are needed today because the human controlled road, air, water born commerce and rail vehicle machines and their interactions in the market place are too complex an operating environment to fully automate.  Automating the vehicles alone is not enough.  The whole global economy is based on complex disposable product sales.  The guideway makes everything permanent and easy for users to control without requiring profit taking companies and govornment management and regulation.  Systems that are organized to have no conflicts or create harm need not be regulated.  At the neighborhood level there will be disagreements about alignment but rarely a disagreement about allowing a guideway through because the debt retirement cost is fully fee based has no profit or interest underpinning based on internal currency management and has a fully automated conflict resolution system.

The global oil based plastics industry alone today in 2019 represents the pollution equivalent of just over 190 half gigawat coal fired power plants.  In another thirty years this is planed to expand to the atmospheric effect of about 500 half gigawat or common large coal fired power plants  this does not account for loss of animals and habitat to oil based agriculture and petro chemicals.

The guideway simplifies actions and reduces things that often go wrong.  Basalt fiber cement composite for ruggedized long user life products reduces the waste.  Reuseable stainless steel nestable multi use packaging eliminates most of this pollution stream.  Guideway door to for single stage global marketing cuts to less than a third goods handeled that way and returns most product income to farmers and manufacturers directly instead of being dispersed across many layers of middle men, shippers, retailers, investors, financial managers, insurers, laywers and governments.

People have come to emotionaly depend on complex human controlled infrastructure for comfortable survival.  Today’s machinery systems were originally designed in how they are expected to work hundreds of years ago..  They were designed to require human Control to  maintain a dependence on centralized management of large scale systems.

Global centerless industrial democracy requires a vending machine simple product delivery system that no longer needs complex logistics to connect in dividual large or tiny producers with their willing customers on the far sides of the planet.

The guideway can become, within a decade, a self advancing total replacement of all practical need for fuel burning and most needs for petro chemicals ever again.  This does not preclude a continuation of the multi thousand year uses for petroleum products.  This is merely offering total, usually superior cost to benifit ratio replacements for them.

Thevguideway require what has never before existed a advanced mass producer of production machinery designed to produce a robotic product that becomes a superior replacement for all present economic product and service delivery systems.  This product set produces a global transportation, communications vending machine.

A few hundred people have had a brief look at these now approaching 500 pages.  Not one person has Emailed or called saying I did not understand it, you are wrong about this data or that idea.  This whole now about 13,000 pages of accumulated ideas was built to a large degree on creative inputs and criticism of my poor presentation and the bad ideas I had.  Tens of thousand of changes have been made so far.

Tell me what you think.  Tell me the worst you have, because I have probably heard it many times before.  Tell me how you would solve the problems.  Unique ideas I may never know about lay hidden from my expieriences so far.  Read a little of these ideas first so you know what this is about.  When you come across unintelligible sentences they usually were quickly written and not proof read yet.  Often the spell check replaced misspelled words with irrational but similar looking words that have not been identified yet.  If it makes no sense you are probably right, it doesn’t.  Skip over what you do not understand.  Additions are being made several times daily trying to make the subject clearer.  Not having anyone yet tell me specifically they do not understand creates ignorance on how this is all best presented.

This is the only collection of similar ideas in known history.  Even many of these subject areas are new to anybodies even industry expert knowledge.

This is all about using global fully automatic self installation to user requests, were allowed by governments, of a direct electric supply, miniature, self lowering for access, suspended monorail PRT guideway.

This guideway is very light weight but large in structural crossection.  The monorail beams have a lower running path and a upper pair of service rails for equipment and materials to pass over the underside that carries 99.99 plus percent of all global transportation.  The guideway vehicle underside is minimally close to present vehicle heights  just above ground level.  The suspended self lowering vehicles are secure or are locked in path aerial transportation that avoids all known natural and collision hazards.  Even in a running gear failure the vehicles skid to a stop from just below the speed of sound.  These vehicles in a train are designed to sustain higher speeds than SR-71, mig-25, F-104 and Tornado fighters can travel at sea level.  Paint burns off fighter wing leading edges at these speeds but the guideway motors and cabins are designed to stay cool.

This global guideway grid should be powered by local ultra deep geothermal electricity for all energy needs at about a third the cost of the lowest cost general use fuel burning generation.  The lowest price occurs as additional horizontal small hole costs and periodic rebuilding costs are added over several thousand years of a ultra deep geothermal shaft‘s useful life.  This is after about two to seven years of debt retirement thruough user electric bills that are about half of most power companies operating costs.

Some of the charicteristics of this have been well described as personal rapid transit, PRT, systems over the last almost fifty years now.  When you look up PRT in Wikipedia and the tens of thousands of other internet pages remember this is unlike anything previously presented.  This is not only transportation but total integration of all functions in advancing human economies.  This is a universal does everything asset base to build on.  All other forms of transportation, communications and energy are just unsustainable partial solutions to satifying people’s needs.  This systems design is a total managment and service needs robotic like problem solver.  This system is a super low cost stand alone housing production machine and the world’s first known integrated natural habitat food production system.  Farms and super markets will still survive at the edges but zero cost food will assure that nobody ever again goes hungry or eats a unhealthy diet.  The guideway user contributors assuers this in a positive feed back loop way.

Only in the last about 29 years has this been described as a miniature very high speed passenger only system by Doug Malewiki.  There are now about five image like copies of his Skytran system.  This global guideway proposal emerged about 38 years ago as a fully integrated all purpose freight, passenger, sewer, water, electric distribution, goods delivery, all services system.  This one person design project has thousands of emerging component design ideas to try and cover all possibilities.

About 30 years ago work started on farm field work, mine and mill or factory, isle or shaft or field or orchard row internal systems which can seamlessly be integrated into a world wide tool carrier rental system and loading facility free seamless global production and consumer delivery machine system.

We have become, fairly quickly in about two centuries of massive industrially maintained population growth to be running out of a self regenerating surface ecology.  We have been adding harmful chemical ingredients into forest and farm soils without recycling biologically consumed materials that are either flushed down sewers or buried in land fills mixed indiscriminately.  Combineing this with harmful industrial wastes and product chemicals and solids materials that’s are not good elements to return to food crop soils.  The guideway recycling system at each home takes more efficiently than road based economy all waste as recycle items with minimum food clean up and toilet and bio materials industrial waste separation and compost mixes to collection PRT vehicles.  Separated streams are ground and compacted on board with collected forest, yard waste and field refuse matter.  This uses the global internal cost recovered guideway and tool carrier system to directly spread single trip in place composting on forests and fields.  Everything gets reused.  This is impossible to do with automated road and municipal and rural property sewer systems because they do not have a low enought vehicle operating cost per mile due to the higher cost of surface verses protected beam running gear.

The surface vehicles move slower because having 100 MPH vehicles going down city streets is a hazard but not a problem on the fully grade separated just over vehicle height elevated guideways.

Many new kinds of machines with more flexible delivery and storage systems needed total reuse product container systems.  This is similar to glass pop bottles, that nobody liked, that are here replaced by light weight hard stainless steel cups, pans and lids that nest stack densely for return paths.  Packaging uses of other fiber sources are not enough, even if we compost or are able to separate and reuse all of the fibers.  A combination of energy cost and more stages of factory operation in the loop means reusable cleaned containers are better than reprocessed materials in remanufacturing.

The guideway proposal needed a reusable electronic standard remote all position reprogramable label system for all carried contents from people to letters to packages to package product IDs to whole body containers.  At possibly a penny a responsive reusable lable this new labeling system needs to respond in a ideal field transponder range to a request for data within a confined area.  What ever contents is carried near by and about to be loaded or delivered to a address the system has to be able to detect it without turning it over to find a bar code or cross referencing a person or item with a ticket or bill of lading.  The collections of labels on board might become the bill of landing as each item shows reprogramable destination priority interactively so the vehicle might know from where it is presently coming and going, right down to the residential or commercial address.  This is well beyond the scope of of any current system for product or shipping label systems but fully within present technologies.

About twenty five years ago ultra deep geothermal looked to be the lowest cost electricity.  I wasted two decades even before paralell discovering with dozens of other independents PRT.  I looked at wind and solar multi thousand year local energy only dependent economies to power the three to four times increase in electric use that was required by a total global electric guideway replacement of unsatainable industrial and transportation fuel burning.  For individuals and families, fuel use systems are the largest budget are driving other cost choices as well.

Only high rate mass production of welded shell thorium molten salt, self reprocessing small scale remote power plants that could be placed in wells with surface back pressure air condensers are as low in bus bar cost and sustainable as ultra deep ascender shaft sinking geothermal.  After a few decades the thorium plants again lose ground in cost competitiveness because of reaching reprocessing limits requiring virtual rebuilds and a need for a large scale hazardous global nuclear reprocessing industry.  After several thousand years we run out of thorium while making the planet radioactive.  Additional holes drilled out from existing deep geothermal shafts with no known environmental problems and a lot of useable basalt ready to melt as muck recovered from non spall collapse deep shafts are cheaper to add capacity to.

After this period about 10 years ago, the ideas of global satellite free communications and data being handeled less expensively using guideway fiber optics placement and property hook up full automation and above ground ruggedness above most flood and tidal wave levels started integrating into the span design ideas.

The guideways become a decentralized server system with more common data in local cashes.  Advances in storage allowed unthinkable miniaturization and cost reduction of automation and data storage compared to present centralized large server farms.  Only dictators and invading aliens might benifit from defendable central all inclusive geopolitical data collection.  The marketing value is dubious as user information more cheaply connects new users to product sources than harassing mail, phone and Email marketing schemes that try and line up unwilling users with products they do not want or may be undesirable or duplicative for them to purchase.

Cell phone personal assistants were thought about but still little has been written in studies about inter active systems protocols.  People need a friend to advise them and the friend needs good advice to give not connected to selling products and services.

Guideway vehicle full service ATM banking, on board every vehicle for increased security and crime and disaster detection systems integrated into the vehicles to eliminate most needs for large police, fire departments and defuse motivations for both crime, war preparations as a form of criminal activity.  Life lacking easy enough challenges and rewards to keep people peacefully productively forever sustainaby occupied needs new challenges to keep people active and interested in enjoying living.

Global democracy being automated predated even the guideway ideas but after it was being rejected by many it was dropped untill more recently.  Nessasary for massive scal to local block issue universal democracy is a unhackable system no rigging possible.

The guideway is a facility structure for all forms of global economic environmentally neutral improvement to be made using the top of guideway span service rails as a means to construct and maintain complex systems over most of the land surface of the planet.

A US coast to coast truck might spend seveveral hours loading unloading and servicing.  A coast to coast human operator trip might take five days.  A electric or diesel autonomus truck trip might take two days.  A guideway vehicle can load or unload in under a half a minute nest-able for empty drlivery containers.  It can travel diagonally across the US in under seven hours at a third or less the autonomus trained truck or railroad cost per ton mile.  At the trip ends only a few hundred pounds to a couple of tons is a single trip bulk load allowing continuous or dispersed deliveries no longer requiring warehouse accumulation for larger vehicles at both ends of a multi stage delivery journey.  A guideway vehicle can carry out door to door deliveries of consumer purchase units no longer needing a wholesale retail supply chain.  The global guideway combined with global free trade means a huge jump in more efficient international product selection with intercontinental direct deliveries 6 hours to 12 hours in delivery time most placed from the end of production lines or from an order being  placed on another continent.  Local person prosperity or survival potential should be guraneteed not by wealth redistribution but by independent cost robotic systems.  The true fear is the guideway replaces the business investor profit systems in providing life giving staples to people.  This is the intention.  Where businesses can work with the guideway model they would continue to prosper and beat at times the low cost of independent user controlled robotic production systems.

Analytical data points only to what is described here.  There is little to nothing known for possibly superior ET3 or inter dimensional decoupling and energy flow systems.

This guideway was mostly possible long ago, before WW1, before the model T, before aircraft.  These designs were possible in cruder materials then as now.  The guideways built by human controlled machines could have over a hundred years ago immediately, all electricly, replaced most needs for modern human fuel burning and most of our uses for less efficient roads, surface rail, ocean ships and concrete construction.  The above senerios were voiced in an 1889 issue of Engineering Digest about the Weems Ekectro Automatic Railway proposal between Philadelphia and Chicago.  The investors of that period passed up many such design based proposals and harmed human progress for over a century now.

By about the 1850s we could have built micro gear traction, in line guide wheel aligned, chained wheel motor, suspended monorail vehicles that would not be slowed by the deepest snows, river valley floods and animal impact risks.  While lower expectations 170 years ago would have created self imposed design speed limits, larger wheeled versions could have regularly exceeded 150 to 200 MPH by the 1890s based on bearing RPM and light loading allowing small bearing or axle diameters.  Rubberized steel cable straps could have even the provided the station free self loading system.  There would have never been a commercial aviation industry if a miniature self lowering guideway was created, accept to reach remote locations.

Today the present design guideway vehicles with five to seven one meter wheel motors in a under 1.5 square foot running gear frontal area line can, when empty, out accelerate the fastest rail dragster and out speed the fastest jet fighter aircraft at sea level in longer guideway trains.  That speed is just at 900 MPH today.  These vehicles would always be governed to not break the speed of sound and being smaller in frontal area than all aircraft and most mussels would make less noise when passing at 650 MPH than a typical highway trucks passing by.  While speeds at this level create damage from bird impacts, wind blown sand erosion and thermal heating the inflated nose cones are designed to take control of these problems.  The two inch thick SIPs evacuated shells allow operation at oven hot temperatures in desert environments.  Speed limitations do exist with altitude and temperature changes and with individual and group user choices to reduce costs per mile by slowing trains.

Thermal engine systems for all of their assumed power to weight ratios are less than a third to a sixth as energy to thrust efficient compared with the broad efficency map of the proposed multi tap variable air gap out runner motors.  Thermal engines are a waste of expensive coal and natural gas let alone more expensive petroleum fuel energy.  The micro gear tooth traction system eliminates engagement movement suport and traction friction as we are use to understanding it.  The wheel motors are about four to nine times more efficient than diesel railways and about 100 to 200 times more energy cost efficient than highway trucks.  This efficency advantage is converted to higher typical speed that better utilizes the investment in fewer vehicles and unloads the guideway length of traffic virtually eliminating any kind of knowable future traffic congestion.  The guideway access grid disperses loadin and unloading activities to access doors no longer needing terminals of any kind.  Activity centers like 100,000 seat stadiums can fill or empty completely in ten miners or so because the guideways can be hung inside the concourses and vehicles cooperating in group loading and unloading allow more people to get moving in less time than any possible subway arrangement.  Single file guideway train move more people per line hour than any heavy high speed rail line.

These systems can be made faster in longer trains at sea level than present commercial aircraft are at 40,000 feet while using less electric energy per seat mile than railroads running at a sixth the speed.  Each vehicle running individually, mostly at between 400 mph using more energy or at 100 MPH getting the equivalent in energy ccost of a small engine auto at 20 MPH would be cheaper than streets, able to be routed directly to everybodies house on the planet.  The guideway simply replace obsoleate street and rural road access use.  Even fields and mines would have their own guideway access on pivots and gantries.  Ware houses could run guideway vehicles down most rows of shelves for a globally integrated self elevating automated storage and retrieval system.  The field work can even be preformed by special vehicles eliminating any future need to own special equipment that is rented from the guideway user controlled global nonprofit trust.

Generally if you can afford  hourly road, sea or air transportation to any place you can build a PRT miniature lightly span loaded guideway there and operate vehicles door to door on a globally connected guideway access grid.  Submerged ocean tubes are only slightly more expensive than highways across land are to build.

This is to physical mobility, what telephone systems that became cellphones and the internet, are to remote conversations and exchanges of information, but the guideways physically move people and goods instead of electricly encoded impuls data.

The guideway can introduce a new form of money or value exchange management that reduces economic financial management cost lowering by about 10% of the present global economic or financial institutional cost share of the human managed economy.  The presence of guideway vehicles in everybodies daily lives would make them the ideal location for a global full service banking and investing one stop ATM financial and global monetary system.  This could bypass the use of national currency money as we know of it today.  Similar transaction systems terminals could be replace in every business card processing machines and be useable on most cell phones.  This might create a global integrated centerless monetary system requiring no currency supply decisions as credit is created as a needed balance against long term abilities to pay off debt, no longer requiring interest or profits on loans and returns on the global systems investments.

Lowest cost to value searches made by anyone on the internet sets the limits of price increases and fixed values of property and more durable goods.  Tracking prices becomes a way of regulating Currency in cuirculation and transaction anomalies.   This requires all payments or transfers be recorded as they occur but tallied in bulk only unless needed for a dispute resolution.  Today this appears to occur only occasionally.  The big problem has always been being able to trust people’s judgements and honesty.  Constant corruption scandles making the news probably doesn’t cover a fraction of a percent of real financial crime.  Keeping people honest may require absolute IDs for every transaction and  using AI to identify the difficult transaction problems and people who are making bad decisions.  Everybody might be given many chances to try and get it right with personal assistant counseling after a problem.  How to keep a smart but dishonest persons from fooling themselves and the automated council of machinery is uncertain as yet.  Today fraud detection systems are far more likely to catch a honest person making a mistake than a clever thief.

Accept for excitement in an end of scarcity global economy there is no reason to commit crimes.  In the end a more vibrantly efficient global guideway economy creates unimaginable wealth effects and opportunities by making products cheaper as delivered to people and providing low cost to eventually no cost mobility and energy.

Matching people up with available low cost housing and jobs world wide can be a part of the guideway automation.  Eliminating human management and personal service costs overhead is require just as we did over the last century with repetitive operator and clerical tasks.  A person could pack their personal possessions in a set of guideway ground self mobile rental containers, hop in another guideway vehicle and punch in a take me to the best opportunities based on profile data.  Matching situations and people could be a universal mobility connected service.

Roads and streets of all kinds and the really ignorant designs for blunt front and rear end vehicles we use on riads are ten to over sixty times more expensive to operate per passenger and ton mile than the same tasks given to very fast guideway vehicles.  Amazon or Walmart deliveries on road vehicles even the tiniest class 5 autonomus vehicles are several times to over twenty times more expensive than multi function multi task guideway vehicles.  There are no similar mobility systems and practices ever before being tried.  Customers can not push a shopping cart through a Sams Club for less overhead cost than global guideway deliveries of the typical selection of goods.   Recreational shopping will continue for hands on choice decisions.

The miniature PRT guideway under surface tethered floating ocean tubes could have connected continents together across mid oceans like telegraph and voice cables for about the cost of two track overland railways.  Remember ferro cement thin shell construction as strong as steel using basalt fibers could have been built 160 or more years ago.  We did not do this because nobody thought to try out the details.  This is rocket science  complexity but back then even a 1850s railroad was rocket level sciences.  People choose not to think at all about this a hundred or more years ago and not today when the guideways are easier than human replacing electronic sensor controlled auto and truck use on roads.  Automated raids are the most difficult way to go about improvement only to save street front access replaced by land freeing overhead access.

This is about a universal utility form, of a single vehicle type electric transportation, that is designed to use low frontal area to power ratio, chained outrunner wheel motors to in longer trains to be a little faster than current commercial aircraft.   This is the first modern era proposal for micro gear traction and support as an improvement over maglev below the speed of sound in the atmosphere.

In one evacuated tube form of the ET3 basic proposal as a maglev linear motor system these can be made to go faster than fuel burning rockets, in an elongated rod armature version.  Both of these systems should be much cheaper per seat and ton mile than any other known combination of presently tried mobility.

This is intended to use a guideway automated machinery property owner directly controlled self installed guideway that as it manufactures grids perioticly sets production shaft sinking machines that unattended create a ultra deep any where geothermal electric energy supply.

The global guideway network grows at local property owner access requests to totally replace the slow and more expensive delivery of the multi tier shipping and marketing that is currently the whole of the  global logistics economy and the reason for about two thirds or more of most people’s cost of living realative to their personal expenditure of time in earning an income.

The fully and more simply self managed than road vehicle automation is a fully automated global guideway grid.  This can be a internally programmed self regulated to do no harm, user controlled, all purpose, lower competitive cost replacement for all obsolete human operator based transportation.  The guideway itself quickly becomes the main user of energy while supply excess needs using the storm hardened span structural conductor to become our all electric cheaper than natural gas energy supply.  The guideway can lower or eliminate any future need for govornment taxes and expenditures without becoming a govornment itself.  The guideway can simplify institutional and industrial management, production and logistics decisions and systems costs.

A human management and operation controlling and decision making presence is needed when systems are poorly designed.  Would you want millions of switch board operators to physically connect your cell phone calls?  What a benifit to higher employment and jobs figures that would be.  The same is true for today’s drivers, ship and aircraft pilots, their supervisors, dispatchers, clerks and most shop employees and package handelers and taking care of high maintainence fuel burning vehicles.  You will lose jobs to inefficient road rail and aircraft automation or the jobs can go to product and service cost reduction guideway automation that is designed from the start not to profit investors and corporate owners but benifit user controllers.  Once built and running any one could take over the installation and operations design decisions.  It might as well be the user benificeraries not political controllers or corporate criminal like managements.

Today’s transportation is similar to 1900s phone systems with operators controling routing before most exchanges had the fully automated pulse dialing step switches compared to cell phone and internet high frequency automation.

Proposed is simplifying all purpose personal rapid transit or PRT vehicle designs to become a single utility for all physical movements.  The human cost factors that are most of the cost of living for pooer populations and only a small share of their employment are no longer needed at all if a single globally cross ocean connected guideway network is properly designed.  Users passengers and shippers become the manager controllers.  The vehicles become the collective managers no humans needed any where in any positions including money manager investor profiteers.

Innovative companies will replace obsoleate production companies that make the guideway mobile manufacturing machinery that in turn sets up to mostly locally produce fast debt retiring user owned or self intrust owned global all purpose utility guideway networks.  Over a decade in any area the guideways reduce the cost of living and doing all other businesses, increasing the general disposable wealth.  So long as this wealth is allowed to freely circulate as rapidly turned over or changing hands with a self regulating currency supply in non savings income there will be exponential economic growth.  Money velocity improvement spent for sustainable low labor and investor cost durable products and low cost expieriences and services creates economic universally distributed end of scarcity sustainable prosperity.  No crashes if speculative for profit instead of for consumption investments are disallowed.  This requires a global automated mobility and geothermal electric energy base.  Energy must become almost free realatively to costs today.

Required is that the production materials and effluent stream choices have to involve unlimited materials and environmental loss supply types realatively to the resulting benifits.  proposed is a new industrial economy set of global standards that simply bypasses any need for current fuel, concrete, plastic, wood and steel based global economies.  Tree and brush burning for clearing should be made criminal activities.  Grind up the bulk of plant materials and respread them with live stock and  human wastes tilled under.

More durable basalt fiber materials become the basis on which everything is built rubbers and plastics are no longer needed much in electric conductor systems.  Aluminum becomes the main power conductor.  Copper is used in the motor coils.  Steel is mostly recycled into the guideway rails as all other structures can be more cheaply built using basalt fiber cement binder thin shell construction.  Stainless steel becomes a new form of reusable return nested packaging eliminating single use packaging waste for most products.  This can be the begaining of products shipped free of most or any packaging using new forms of internal guideway vehicle handeling systems.

One vehicle design does all of this and overnight delivers water, raw granular materials and food commodities.  During the peak hours carries all people movement and in between moves goods deliveries and robotic tool carriers as a new all purpose land surface machine system.

The guideway is designed to be a fraction the cost of constructing urban side streets and ally ways.  This is arrival at at every structure entry door accessing, miniature, just subsonic speed, in air, elevated monorail that is a self administering system.

The vehicles are single file semi reclined minimum frontal area seating standard cross section vehicles that have to be accessed through full length top hinged doors.  There are no other paractical designs.  The full side access comprises over a third of the body central structure and requires a full periferal structure integrating door latch system.  This is the only way this can work out.  The seats swing out and tilt up to allow easier passenger loading under the shelter of the over head side door.

On the wall opposite the door are two or three vacuum deflated bags that carry liquid and dry commodities and water based on sanitation grades and entry and exit external ports on one end.  The guideway global fleet in about thirty years from the start could move a cubic mile of materials every day plus carry the whole of the world population and average of about 50,000 personal miles each year plus carry a decreasing amount of personally consumed goods per capita compared to today.  Less waste, fewer cubic yards and tons of goods more benifit from those goods.

The smaller the frontal area the faster you can travel and ship at a lower cost.  Only one as yet unnamed recent Chinese test system ever demonstrated even close to these principles and six other tear drop pod systems vaguely similar but recently back peddling on the details or reversing good ideas to seem more conventional.  I saw one photo of this  Chinese system in mass use in a entry or exit test in a Chinese technical publication.  The presently deteriorating systems design ideas are Skytran, J Pods, Transit X, some Beamway or Flyway smaller vehicles, one USC student copycat project and a Yugoslavian project that It has been so long I can’t remember the name of it.

Three characteristics are required for total replacement of fuel burning.  Every vehicle has to have passenger seats and carry nearly all kinds of cargo, mail and packages.  Every vehicle has to be very fast requiring lower drag hulls with at least 3:1 to 3.5:1 tapered conical ends that collapse to flat ends for entrainment.  Low aero drag flutter and cross wind stablelized longer trains that are smooth gap free tubukar sides are required.  Trains need light tension magnetic and accurate vehicle possitioning coupling and slide past and nose and tail cone expansion and contraction diaphragm edge coupling and uncoupling.  A right and left set of opposite polarity permantly magnetic rings form a flat end body motion dampening system between separate vehicles that are trained up.  Uncoupling requires physically the vehicles pulling apart or a reverse polarity wire easing the ring flux paths.  This would make sense to anybody with a animation but would seem like magic if observed by most engineers or laymen.

All vehicles need to be self lowering for anywhere in the wild or on built up property ground or floor level unprepared access and egress.  Stations are stupid ideas created for trains as harbors were used for at dock ship boarding as airports became for aircraft deficient access.  Busses and street railways are rarely designed for platform only loading.  Why should a suspended monorail be so required unless defective thinking is involved.  Only ten cross tape or strap cabled hoist lowering is practical but will seem awkward on first glance.  How to do this well is like rocket science as everything else about the global guideway is.  But all automobiles we use today are everyone as complicated as a rocket.  We give this little thought because they work for us without our being required to be rocket launch crew smart.  The global guideway is simpliler to use than a cell phone.  A child that can learn to get candy out of a vending machine could use the guideway to go anywhere on the planet beyond parental debit card restrictions on it’s own.

It is that rocket science complicated so get out your calculator, this is intuitive but requires mathematical comparison to achieve the narrow way to best not also ran systems.  We should not have to be sorry we built the guideway a century from now even a thousand years from now.

Minimum 99.999% of all future human trips utility frontal area has to become a standard.  Other than a few prototype fully enclosed motorcycle prototypes and the Skytran copycats there have never been vehicles this small before.  Small is practical.  The omnibus and railroad isle and remote door access seats and cargo floor copy cat vehicle systems like business and commercial jets are efficency design failures.  Everything else designed by humans for mobility were dead on arrival ideas that are useless for a long environmentally compatable future.

In a forever world there are possibly better future ideas involving possibilities I do not understand yet and may never be cheaply efficient for mass populations in large scale dense economies.  I think about what can be known and demonstrated by maybe the 1830’s or 40’s.  There were at least two demonstration electric guideway vehicles in the historical record in the US by this period.  We were smart enough to have built this on by that period.  No body figured it out till the 1980s.

This all new very low motorcycle frontal area highly tapered nose entrained as stacked coupling stiffened unibody train cylinders guideway system, is based on mostly known and well tested materials and mechanisms.  This has never been presented out side of three websites and a few public displays in Lincoln Nebraska.  This is an all electric motor system that can quickly be designed to create its own assets in support of all the personal and industrial interests and the best continuation of our complex ecology or natural economy.  The guideway can free people up by reducing their money spent per mile for transportation and lowering the cost of direct global same minute to day delivery of all products.  The guideway and related systems replaces many needs for chemicals that polite our environment today that are usually just excuses to sell oil at higher prices in niche markets.  This increases the value of products and services realatively to their cost in labor hour by reducing layers of overhead cost.

The guide way also can provide new forms of fast build ultra low cost stand alone housing that requires no govornment infrastructuer.

The guideway can provide education without schools and a new form of medical care giving, eliminating any future need for doctors and specialist and clinics and hospitals for most conditions.

Proposed are new open source information services that might assist people to expand their accomplishments and, tallents using lower cost rental tools to improve personal enjoyment in life.

In Mexico and a hundred other countries the cost of modern living is much lower than in the US and Britain. The reason is a lower overhead wealthy class and fewer institutional costs adding to costs of everything.  Everybodies profits and administrative palace like offices have a cost of operation overhead.

The guideway is intended to unify and totally replace high cost layers of administrative overhead with a decentralized system that replaces most of our cost of living.  

The guideways low cost for premium service makes every poor person on the planet a faster than personal helicopter to business jet setter for under a penny to about five cents a mile with a commonly used robotic staff of personal on vehicle and online robotic assistants.  People can seek services and jobs hundreds of commuting miles away, expanding ther range.  Businesses can be come free market place global excluding nations that limit trade like the US.  Machine simple automation has no greed or need for power and profit.  The machines serve all of us, institutions, politicians, owners, investors and administrations tend to serve themselves first.

The guideway is designed to provide an independent non profit channel for all satiate and server farm free nessasary communication and data, interfacing directly with pocket smart phone, expanded folding screen, personal assistants at wholesale cost.

Most populations of the world do not yet have phones, electric power, internet access or personal fast transportation.  The user controlled guideway can bring can better than urban America economy to every primitive area it is built through.  The challenge is how to reduce the installed cost per mile.  How to keep invester capitalism and government overhead costs out of the system.  Get rid of the installer  and operator human organization costs is required by putting simple self administration automation in each vehicle and production machine and giving it a operating bank account with no outlet to any other than the user democraticly controls global guideway monetary system.  This creates a form of global government and separate but geographicly integrated global economy for utilitarian uses by guideway occupants.  Where human tallents are needed users can become service workers literally employed by the programmed machine decisions and their fellow guideway users.  This is complex in first programming organization but vending machine use simple ever after.

It is proposed that all of the guideway be powered by ultra deep geothermal energy where that supply can be maintained and all pocket personal assistants have solar or interior lighting PV charging.  The guideway becomes a lower cost satellite free data switching and refined data not raw data storage system distributed out over the eventually almost 60 million miles of guideway access grids.

The guideway is an all personal and productive industrial need serving global public utility.  This was never proposed, tested or manufactured.  The reason is nobody thought of it before.  Pets were talked about or built in isolated parts with no knowledge of the whole possibilities.

If there were no human global warming, extinctions, chemical problems Then this is still much cheaper to use.

The guideway has been designed to be a user controlled and serving independent form of global democracy and lower overhead cost financial management centerless administrative system.

The guideway is a new kind of anti harmful human activity mediating system, a replacement for what are presently criminal activities, as a personal assistant helper towards happiness.

The global guideway is proposed to introduce distortion free electronic shadow democracy to real time immediately let people know about and share understandings about problems, discussing and solunion seeking inside a open source but category identifying and consolidating structured information format.  Opinions need facts and supporting examples or functional inventions and ideas from all sources with fully automated information personal assistant search contributions.

To prevent attacks on people, and on global assets the guideway user administration should be opposed to weapons development as having no useful productive place place in non criminal activities.  Peace does not need defense, only authoritarian rule needs weapons.  The guideway is not a disarmament’s system only a replacement for taxation and govornments and criminal conspiracies against positive beneficial activity.  Preparing for defense has causeed a loss of maybe 200 million lives because of unescessary military costs take away from education, food, housing, clothing and medical care

The global guideway is a global personal rapid transit like system that is a fully autonomus, automated, a cooperative robotic like vehicle system operating as a three dimentional or self lowering vehicle, suspended anywhere lowering to ground or floor level access.  This is all in a single size and design miniature, automatically mass produced suspended vehicle monorail.  Full length running gear stiffens light small frontal area vehicles to form up and separate from the front middle or end of high speed passing stiff structure tubukar trains.

This poses unique engineering design challenges never before addressed In a single system.  How best do you do all of this in a way you will never be sorry for your design choices.  New discoveries have to integrate well into the old systems.  Room for growth extends out to a parallel ET3 system.

As soon as mass produced insulated electric coils were developed in the 1850s we could have been using small single file passenger and cargo vehicles that did not require massive supporting right of ways.  High speed with low as possible smooth surfaces paralell sided long bodies replace heavy slow ground and ocean vehicles.  The elevated over everything guideway is bridged suspended monorail right of ways were know of before the first railways were built but nobody even to this day can imagine moving more with less by moving faster at lower air drag and as low as possible rolling resistance.

The design possibilities to replace fuel burning road, air, rail and ship mobilities are many.  The familiar versions like the systems they replace have the fewest advantages.  Using direct drive large diameter ten thin strap cable hoists a vehicle need gain less than 5% of its maximum gross weight in hoist weight to never again need a station or loading dock or platform to enter a thin floor vehicle at ground level.  This in itself is a revolution as significant as the invention of motorized road vehicles.

The guideway is an all purpose public utility system.  Forget about ever again needing to bury a public infrastructure, buy a car, pay taxes to maintain roads and build or operate govornment power water and sewer infrastructure and administration.  This is designed in every componet to be user controlled to benifit users through preprogrammed robotic like administration and operation.

The systems are self checking through accostic signature, thermal limits and position monitoring to seek out problems and mostly automaticly be maintained by machine or human service.

PRT systems if properly designed should never fail from one to many component failiures.  Multipule redundancy should be designed that if a failure occurs the bad part is bypassed, replaced by one of several active parallel parts.  Trips are ideally never delayed by a break down and service is schedualed when traffic demands are low.

This is similar to dual end loading interior slide out ET3 that is about ten times more expensive per access point and about three times more expensive per service mile, many times faster for longer trips,  and a fraction the operating cost per mile and the only other really useful public utility nobody is doing anything about.  For ET3 even space launch or Startram like versions proposed in not needing any vacuums pumps.  The vehicle linear motor system is used to pull a whole tube positions for several cycles of tube evacuation and after that every vehicle as a inertial velocity particle trap one each end door that in regular trips refines the vacuum.

The in air suspended vehicles operate fully automaticly like a push button building elevator.  This is a elevated but ground level accessed system that can be placed every where without modifying existing structures or land uses or streets and roads.

The X stake base and rock bolt piers mean no masses of dirt or rock normally ever needs to again be moved.  Not only for right of ways but also for commercial and residential structures.  This is the highly more efficient end of humans need to reshape the earth to find places to live and work.  Pier mounted houses and commercial buildings allow drainage underneath achiving resistance against tornado damage by increased integrated monolithic high section moment shell tensile strength.  This is about how to cheaply mass produce new forms of building materials that have never been tried before.

The guideway vehicles operate at a road vehicle automation complexity level or class number of 2 to 5.  They do this differently and much simpler than road vehicle automation.  I am looking at further automation level descriptions as this global guideway system comparatively is operating in user experience at a further set of automation task levels 7 to possibly 9.

Level 6 might be self lowering environment.  Level 7 might be operating at near supersonic speeds using totally on board all vehiclesdecentralized systems that share information of conditions miles away or on the far side of the world for vehicle routing to meet empty capacity needs elsewhere.  Level 8 might be full user administrate control of otherwise fully automated functions like attachments and level 5 tool carriers.  Actually the guideway vehicles take level 3 to 4 automation technical requirement not haveing to face road vehicle challenges accept when lowering to pick up cargo or a passenger, but operate beyond level 8.  A level nine might be use of many different rental or user owned auxiliary interior fittings that expands the tasks each vehicle can take on as a vending machine like set is onboard services that replace about two thirds of our current average paid out cost of living.  This might also be applied to ET3 vehicles designed to trave air lock to airlock globally but non stop use a Star tram launch to go directly to orbit.  Each level faces special interface problems with combined automation functions.

Fully automated tool carriers are also people carriers that replace all the needs for personal road vehicles, wheel chairs, motor homes, all terrain ATVs, fire trucks, ambulances, all kinds of industrial and agricultural and construction machinery all in one chassis form in several sizes by using rental attachments.  One set of two different weight and three different length carrier chassis replace all mobile equipment uses we have today from wheel chair to agricultural equipment to moving the heaviest objects.  Each carrier chassis takes on special attachment to accomplish all running gear tasks with both heavy lifting and high speed performance.  Each tool carrier can fit inside the tiny guideway vehicles for jet aircraft speed mobility between rental users.  It is probably always cheaper to rent than to own if the vehicle is it’s own self owned non profit public service global reach entity.  This extends to other areas where property and structures might become public services against amortized replacement costs only to the point that even the modern houses people line in are virtually free with free utilities.  With the elimination of govornments only the higher wear and need to expand geothermal electric generation would have a significant cost.  As infrastructure costs come down and a need for managment and finance is replaced with a guideway monitory system the the cost overhead for food, clothing, tools and personal possessions also would drop.  Everybody would be partially on robotic welfare just as today we are sort of on high energy industrial economy welfare.  Eliminating any need to create military and police expenditures and the robot like health care system from the guideways again overhead costs are eliminated.

Any kid like using the mystical Vril, at age twelve can rent a tool carrier and build buildings with it as the tool carriers using the right tools also are fully automated project engineer personal assistants.  Operating in their own class 9 areas of downloadable expertise the tool carriers that arrive on demand, credit or debit card payment needed of course, can become like AI only this is still in all of it’s complexity specificly applied finite automation at a very high level of problem solving.

Like in all human safety depending robotic systems the manufactures creating Frankenstein monster like fully automated robotic products are responsible for product self setting limitations.   Buyers and users, not always being wise, can not be expected to be aware of limits of safe operations.  Idiots like me should never be trusted with non self regulating vril or discarded nuclear weapons or reactors.  This creates a whole new subset of unspoiled legislative responsibility rules for the robotic atomic age.

Beside saying Putins, or Trumps should not be allowed access to nuclear or environmental effecting decision making.  We need to do this by defining mental rights tests to leadership authority levels Bosineros, Ditrateys Hitlers, Stalins, Musilinies even FDRs and Wilson’s and Ws plus assorted legislators all should need a test before office entries.  So do operators or users of automated equipment need a mental dexterity test like a sobriety test before you drive, a test of judgement before you order up your project implementing tool carrier.  Guideway vehicles not so much.

About thirty years ago I ask this question of Lincoln transportation operators,” how young could a person be before a bus or cab driver allowed them to board?”  I was trying to understand then if nursery school kids could get themselves safely to day care while mother went to work.  Unlike a bus or cab there is no operator on board to supervise.  Visual Basic ID systems were starting to be used on production lines.  Identifying and categorizing a child by body size or motions was possible even then.  The answer was,” if they are able to pay and know where they want to go they can ride the bus.”

Now imagine a smart four year old kid who gets his mother’s credit card and has learned to dial 511 to call up a vehicle and knows to put the card in the slot and dial in grand mother’s number in Europe and seven hours latter while watching on board cartoons and eating snacks out of the onboard vending machine paid for by mom’s at work credit card he pulls up in front of grandmothers house.  By age eight he can be a world traveler with millions of miles on using a destination code guidebook.  Independence limitations may be required.

This as in truck driving, air and pilots licenses you might have user classes and again user specialty licenses only for riskier situations.

We should probably have intellectual or attitudinal leadership authority classes where you might not be allowed on the ship’s bridge alone in command unless accompanied by a specific specialty decision making class expert.  In the age of robotics machinery and the coming inter dimensional effects machinery responsibilities magnifies human decisions in possible out comes.  A CEO or board member of a chemical company should have to pass a test of basic cause and effect chemistry before being allowed to say only one birth defect in a thousand, they will never get on to it and we will make millions in the meantime and I am protected by corporate isolation from personal wear loss, beside all my money is in hidden small country bank accounts and my business jet gets me to where they can never extradite me.  Actually this is not far fetched but how do you prevent it?

The some 45 million people killed in auto accidents in the last 80 years and half a billion people who have died prematurely from smoking and drinking attests to this.  We are often driving outside of our abilities.  When machines do the driving they have to know smarter than us when too fast, overloaded, imbalanced or piled too high is a risk not worth taking.  Time to step back and call in an advisor.

Teaching classes on the limits of robotics possibilities like beginning sex responsibility education in kindigarden my not help all but at least one of their friends will say we should not be doing this.  Most people cause harm to each other because they do not think of it as harmful.

Today we all are living in a late liquid-stone-age or massive concrete based, fire based, massive heavy industry global economy.

Concrete is reliance on low tensile and compression strength liquid or poured stone.  This is supposedly required by road vehicle systems that are thought to need paving to eliminate traveling through mud in wet weather.  All road vehicles and heavy foundation buildings and municipal utilities lead to a tendency to produce massive earth works for foundations and pavement slabs.  This all takes energy increases flood risks and may contribute to local to global environmental deficits.  We are still mound builders as well a still in a late Stone Age prinatives no better than the Egyptians, Romans or Myans.  We do collectively stupid stuff like the Nazis and few peopke have the courage to stand in front of the unregulated steam roller.

The use of concrete and earth works in turn creates a need for controlled storm water drainage systems.  And presently requires hundreds of suoerctankers full of fuel every years.  When combined with gravity sewers to eliminate local odors from concentrated large population sewage disposal we need to use several times the amount of water per capita to carry sewage along to treatment points.

In the absence of PRT total door to door direct recycling, there is no other (total) way to dispose of now unimportant discarded materials.  It cost $10 a ton when I was a kid and adjusted today costs over $30 a ton.  If we use land fills as collection sites for waste the land problem will never reach the Walli level but we are creating methane and radioactive dump hazard collection points always there as the next forgotten Love Canal.  This all leaves a massive societal industrial foot print.  A global guideway can more cheaply use it all up or incinerate the last 1% down to pyrolitic elements not dangerous toxins.

We practice industrial mono culture because it benifits the process, packaging and distribution end of industrial food profitability.  Farmers, fields and oceans suffer losses because the global guideway does not connect every farm on Earth directly with every residence on Earth, bypassing multi stage industrial processors.

New rented fully automated farm machinery can allow the world’s farmers to learn to also become or team up with the world’s best chefs.  A small mini tortes maker or salad slicer package line show up and takes your harvest and converts it to store ready food.  You cell phone Keats you talk to the inspector half a world away wile he helps you clean up you process cleanliness and Keats you watch instruction videos before taking a certification to operate test.  A phone bicameral can even Simao cast the test and process observation results with the barcode country and supplier of origin.  Keeping costs low and processes direct and simple as possible or even worked into the self mobile process equipment programming.  Do you think half a million health department officials inglibally departed offices can do better?  Whether produce direct to homes or hot farm fresh same hour to tables, guideway meals on wheels become the best meals.  Buy local then means writhing your continent.

The remains of past industrial activities become brown fields, former industrial and chemical clean up sites.  We still have 99.99% plus of the rest of the planet yet to so brand with our historical bad presence.  At the accelerating rate using up the rest will not take long with the road and air vehicle of necessity fuel energy based economy.

A guideway 100% all direct geothermal electric economy appears no where else in human history out side of 7000 NW 27 th St, Lincoln Nebraska for the last 39 years now, never before.  Nobody else has ever shown any interest to understand the details.  They have been too busy talking to each other about other more important things.

This proposal offers many optimized ways to stop these harmful environmental practices and live highly technical lives integrated ever more less visibly into a natural garden city, all jet fast, door to door guideway connected Earth.

History right up til today shows we are really good at complexdoing really bad things

This set of design and industrial process proposals uses a robotic global transportation integrated system to decentralize the services of governments, health care, financial and public services, market delivery systems, as well as providing nearly all common personal mobility.  One machine and structural mass manufactured set does everything.  A one design infrastructure self organizing one vehicle robotic system replaces about to thirds, even eventually three fourth of any practical need to continue supporting the rest of the dysfunctional global economy.  Humans, animals, plants, soil biota, the atmosphere and ocean habitats thrive together in a single self regulated environment.

This has not been easy to refine and still lacks smaller element design work but is mostly complete at this writing.  Since this has been a noncolaborative one person project, many outside creative inputs are missing.  I sorely want to work with others but find no interest in advanced obviously disruptive total replacement intended technologies.

If you are interested in the future of a prosperous nondestructive humanity using a permantly sustainable natural Earth, give me a call and you can take charge of any part in here you might desire to develop.  I could sure use some help after all of these decades alone.  Right now no other similar projects have been located anywhere.

In building in concrete and dirt with combustible sticks or wood construction and rust sensitive painted steel these universally used materials are obsolete forms of heavy and light, expensive self deteriorating construction.  This proposal is to use long service life materials and mass production of utility integrated wall floor and roof panel construction.  Proposed are new quick same day amateur build systems that simplify better in all ways than any codes based systems.  Every structure can become stand alone modern standard habitable with a working guideway beside it.  Past global catastrophes become momentary inconveniences not desasters.

Basalt fiber kalin cement composite construction allows everything to be mass produced aircraft light, corrosion, weather and fire proof durable for centuries.  Basalt takes less energy cost to fabricate, has a higher linear strength to weight ratio than Titainium, is resistant to weathering and normal fires, but mostly is available already refined in incomprehensible quantities on Earth and all the rocky planets.  Basalt is glass brittle as solid castings but flexible as fiberglass when made into cloth and used in rods or structural shapes, even clothing.  Basalt lacks the ductility of metals but in the right composit form is as tough as steel at half to a third the weight, tougher than fiberglass to penetrations.  Instead of using plastic binders proposed is to use cementatious materials right up to fire brick surface heat resistant and ceramic or stainless steel abrasion resistant materials.

Our present production methods developed in Russia during the Cold War and never allowed into the US, need new very high production rate systems to lower the cost per pound of finished multi direction cross woven cloth.  4 direction lose woven cloth in very wide rolls that comes pre infiltrated with fine organic concrete powder would change the way we make all large structures.  A method of securing the micronicly fine powder into the prepreg untill processing is proposed but never tested.  Cross stitch layered composite of complex expandable sheet sections are proposed.  Integrated evacuated panel active insulation is proposed but has many production engineering problems to solve yet.

You pre heat the rolls to about 180 degrees F. and lightly mist spray it after forming process with very hot water as it is laid in place over a mould or foam core integrated mandrel then vacuumed bagged or bi directionally rolled from one or both sides or pressed in a vibrating mold and it quickly becomes stiff enough to extrude or extract from a form to cure over a two day or more period of stacked panel storage.

A single machine can produce millions of square feet of though foam filled cross tied skin panels each production day.  Such machine lines are truck or guideway portable to rapidly travel between job sites and set up to be in production in minutes of arrival.

After moisture absorption and surface drying flash glazing can be applied for a even further air and chemical tight multi century durable surface of any color or printed pattern, even rough flat textures.  PV solar cells can be printed on and fused on the insulating surface.  Wire and piping utilities can be formed in also using basalt reinforcements.  Self setting nano thermite gauzes are propose for air tight multi century weather resistant surface sealing.

Parabolic shaped sections can be reflectively mirror coated after being polished to make miles wide mirrors on Earth or in the vacuume of space.  Micro spray and electron beam adjustable or floated surface tension coatings can be spun on for optical quality reflective mirrors of any imaginable size .  Mirrors of any size can use focal point solar heat to melt process materials on Earth or in space.

We do the things we do today not because we need to use consumed cubic miles each year of fuel, concrete and soil carbon and nutriant depletion.  We do them because no one in charge has ever thought to do any thing much differently.  We are unimaginative intellectual primaries.  I grew up in this culture not understanding why we all seem to be indifferent to progress.  When I was eight my grand father Block standing beside his car in the Cozad house garage he built himself a couple of years earlier said to me we use to have it better.  I was shocked to hear this as a kid and said, we now have television and some cars are even getting air conditioning.  You have it better, I have it better.  He said well maybe.  It took six decades now to realize why he said that.  So many expieriences to explain.

The processes we rely on today are degenerative, less efficient and unsustainable compared to a battery free all direct electric transmission from deep geothermal, using basalt materials, with advanced Savoy animal and plant rotated fully automated.  This creates a open source modern hunter gatherer based economy.  We are doing everything wrong and look for ways to do things wrong but better at it.

We maintain fuel burning systems as indispensable icons of technical progress out of human habits and closed minded investor wealth taking.

Engineers never look at best ways to do anything.  Engineres nearly always start out with service and process strategy choices that are requested and financed outside of their interests and try to improve on these existing systems as requested.  Engineering firms and departments are not leaders, they are dutiful human atomotons seeing charismatic leaders who themselves are lead to believe that increased wealth an masses of goods of any kind produced are good even if it lays waste to this rare museum of living art the planet we are using as our home.

The minority, maybe one in a hundred thousand intuitively innovative engineer is derided, told to conform or be fired unless he conforms or merely ignored as eccentric in a corner untill a dose of creativity is needed.  All progress has been unexpectantly eccentric.

There is a old statement, “ we do not need to reinvent the wheel.”  Even airplanes and ships use wheels and axles of different kinds.  This set of global guideway proposals does reinvent the wheel in a way that had no previous exact category.  This is a all new kind of monorail distilled down from thousands of different monorail possibilities.  This involves seperating out flaws, adding strengths and leaving adaptable room for improvement.  Many possibilities that have seemed impossible in previous years are made possible by rethinking durable structural and energy conversion forms.  These ideas accumulate and if put together in the right way add to the possibility of a non consuming constant future for human and surrounding natural ecology innovations.

We have changed little in our technology, rational methods and social systems since cave-man-hood.

There is yet to be a large scale democratic govornment anywhere.  We have instead mostly elected and appointed limited monarchies and oligarchies loved by background conservative dictators that label themselves representative democracy govornments of several kinds.

Rose Wilder Lane, herself a conservative, who was a liberal at heart, in the Discovery of Freedom wrote of the many forms of govornments that were tried.  She left out a few involving non governmental organizations, business and financial systems.

This proposal is for a global, at first shadow democracy and reserve guideway currency and banking welfare system evolving by plan into a global to local democratic decision making system.  Needed is a formula that reduces emotional decision making inputs by systematically identifying and defining vote rationals and idea sources, limiting specific out come identifiable harmful actions in a set of undeniable rights and defending ever expanded rights.  Extending civics education to life time intellectual growth as proposed in The Comming Race book by Lord Bulwer Lynton and quoted as an ideal by a few philosophers, Henry Ford of all people and others.  Ford was a closet bigot and fascist as are the otherwise nice Koch brothers and numerous back peddling conservative thinkers today.  Lincoln Stephehens pointed out that he could trust organized crime bosses as much to deliver on their promises as the president of the US who he was a friend of.  Human survival is not only a technical problem but a social one as we need a organizational system not at war with itself to carry out actions universally for the betterment of humanitie’s home world.  This is beyond politics that is always local and religion that is always a going no where set of cuircular ideas defending their own emotional acceptance.

Progress moving forward involves creating rugged, durable ultralight, high efficency systems that use mostly the steady state ultra deep, seven miles or more below most people‘s feet, geothermal electric energy.  Because the planet rotates and weather churns clouds and drying and cooling cycles change distributions, sun, water and , wind power investments are not steady. The stored up hot Earths core in rock a few miles down is constant until it is used up tens to hundreds of thousands and trillions of human population years from now.  For urban areas this is hundreds of years of their consumption under surrounding areas.  For rural areas this is tens of thousands to millions of years of consumption.  For Iceland, Hawaii and other volcanic areas this is many millions of years of all of their energy.  This has to be done with efficiently drilled large shaft holes using flame thin slot cutting systems not yet tried well.  A new process of core shaft sinking using cog ascenders is proposed.  Spherical or trapezoidal cone drill chambers are cut out from which to drill small diameter side thermal extraction holes using CO2, not water that corrodes and carries minerals to close up passages.  Fracking at these depts is not possible anyway.  Full down hole automation has to operate at oven temperatures for long service lives between removals.

Proposed is about two months shaft sinking to the first production level often about seven miles deep that powers further production machinery top side.  A month later the lowest safe from progressive spalling resistant production chamber is bored past for muck overflows and the chamber is shaped and production side hole drilling starts.  After a few months that shaft has ever more gen sets brought in on the surface located in pits or buildings as required to absorb additional heat for electricity.  Half a year to a year latter that shaft starts producing a useable electric supply for thousands of average years to come.  Periodic renewal of new hole fields is required.  None of these machinery forms have ever been prototyped as needed to my knowledge.

As the guideway grid expands equipment is automaticly brought from site to site about 10 to 50 miles apart, much closer in urban areas.  The all local geothermal electric power flows steadily with peaking reserves for usually thousands of years after.  The goal should be million hour TBO generator sets mass produced for under $200 per KW of output.  This is about new basic design principles rarely pursued today.

Our ancestor campfires have evolved into piston, turbine, and rocket engines, boilers, rotary kilns and blast furaces.  Our concrete stone constructions are world wide more massive than great pyramid building almost monthly.

We walked down surface level paths that we paved for horses and wagons that became cars and trucks we ride in.

Nobody publicly thought that the 1826 Palmer monorail would have been a better way to get around than using roads, not just out of the mud, but away from animals, pedustrians, deep snow, floods and collisions with other vehicles.

These vehicles are guideway path followers that require only right left or straight ahead and speed or stop decisions.  This PRT guideway option is hundreds of times simpler than fully automating road vehicles.

We believe road vehicle use is a nessesity only because we have our evolved multi thousand year road and street networks.  Roads get slippery when wet or icy and are impassable after storm damage, floods and snow drifts.  The guideway traffic runs undisturbed by situations that roads and air vehicles are vulnerable to.  Guideway way vehicle’s move around massive volcanic eruptions carrying general service electricity when all other transportation is grounded and power lines are blown down or burned up by fires.  Zero accident death and injuries is only possible with a well designed global guideway.

The guideways are the only realy fast public safety service, the only way to achieve economicly total waste recycling, the only way to redistribute massive water and soil, the only system able to bring health care immediately on demand to people‘s homes world wide.  The emergency room’s services come to peoples locations and homes not the people having to go to hospitals and clinics.  Equipment that is autonomus and supplied remotely on demand and doctors and nurses on the far side of the planet use the guideway to treat patients thousands of miles away.

The whole of the globes skills, supplies and mobile mechanistic resources can be guideway concentrated in an area of need at 950 feet per second, a mile every six seconds travely time.

The side moving track universal tool carriers carried in the tiny guideway vehicles have one or two sling seats to move a person or two and attachment and PTO points to lift or move a ton or two.  The tool carriers that do every task can be made to be micrometer precise and gentle around kittens and plants they can be programmed to recognize and avoid running over.

Everything presented in this web site is Jr high to early high school level understandings.  This could all be taught in a subject specific science of human prosperity and survival in a set of possiblity comparisons in about a three semester course of class periods, to average students world wide.  This is no more difficult than what the mean spirited Mr Rathey my science teacher taught us at Millard Lefler Jr high 60 years ago.  It was where I first learned about basic dynamics and mechanics from mostly movies shown us.  It helped for me to come from a family of merchant, farmer, innovators and engineers.  As education leveled in crease and technologies and media access proliferates people will find more inspiration hopefully to excell towards excellence instead of the mediocrity of our predecessors.

The basic knowledge students will retaine comes from hands on expieriences, not book fact learning.  Instead of auto shop courses, needed is guideway vehicle uses and maintainence courses for all, integrating math history and business model ideas sprinkled through out.  Whole new generations might grow up understanding choice making, instead of today’s choice following.  Leaders are everywhere in all off us.  When everybody becomes a self leader there is no reason for anybody to be a follower.  We just need ever better tools and materials to create with.  Cooperation towards productive goals that all can intuitively learn are ideal but constantly changing in thought varieties that have to be sorted out and agreed on.  We need a new decision making moral code that in layers of basic details to the most complex and better, informs decisions and social laws.  This is already in existance but scrambled into the confusion of religion and civic administration.

The monorails if bicycle tiny and minimum drag in frontal area need have no speed limit below noise and sonic compression wave fronts.  Self lowering PRT vehicles require no parking or station of any kind.  This is cheaper to first time build than built streets and highway are to maintain.  This is especially so if you add in the one tenth or less cost per seat and ton mile and access stoping costs.

The VW Lupo, Audi A2, Miev and Mi Mitsubishi’s 90 plus MPG cars and TaTa one ton 50MPG pickups show us how stupidly 110 years of US auto engineering leads customer to low income class debtor poverty.  It is forbidden by convoluted laws to bring efficient cars into the the US.  This has cost Americans trillions of dollars in personal wealth.  The efficient vehicles all lacked high crush strength bodies more elongated for useful interior volume and further inflated streamlining elongation improvement for pointed crash deflecting crush zones.  The Mi passed crash tests in the top of its class but lacked the nitros oxide certification, it would have excelled with a 3 cylinder TDI and urea injection.  There has never been one really good personal automobile ever sold or prototyped in America.  Not because of conspiracy just globally tolerated stupidity accepted as normal.  The Aptura and EV1s were ordered broken up for no reason and should have all been distributed to museums for industrial design art displays as reminders of what we all missed out on.  Maybe that is why they were destroyed.

Tesla cars and trucks were conventionally sized and styleled saying this would improve sales but cut their range in half compared to the above alternative examples.  Brute battery capacity makes up for lack of design refinement.  Batteries and charging stations become the next oil profit boom only there are zero openly distributed plans to really curtail fuel profit economics in the conversion process, only to refine the model to pass the next market limiting regulations.  Elongation and extra weight add little to fuel consumption.  Frontal area adds most to user cost.  Smaller frontal area longer vehicles are moer efficiently faster with smaller engines.  Regenerative braking and lower rolling resistance means weight matters very little in fuel consumption and ownership maintainence cost.

We know virtually nothing publicly that is useful.  Most people seem content with ignorance posing as advanced mutually curiosity dampening knowledge.

This is not a for all time set of ideas.  This is at best just carrying on as long as possible till the next set of superior ideas replaces these proposals.

Further on here will be presented at least three road vehicles running gear and body systems improvements that move beyond fuel burning.  Electric public service vehicle systems are an aside as any vehicle can be automated as needed.

The biomass of wild land animals has fallen by over 80% in the last century.  Humans do not officially yet understand natural interdependencies.  The guideway is a means of replacing natural habitats with Savoy model native animals and plants mixed for local habitat food production.  This can be regulated by robotic filed surveys from normal passing guideway vehicles, replanted, watered, and sedimentary soil relocation fertilized.  Full global agricultural automation creates local diet diversity for all.  Let the best chef food artists figure out how to take really good and healthy diets put together in mass and delivered to homes cheaper than going out for a burger.  This becomes an industrialized mostly automated modern global robotic hunter gatherer economy, more prosperous than monoculture and grocery store economies.  Full automation can return nature with independent field work research guidance.  Look at the chestnut fungus gene modified tree hybrid example.

We have little refinement of the greater efficiencies of high speed electric propulsion and lighter weight to strength and cost ratio, higher section moment extruded truss cored basalt fiber composit panel construction and active evacuated panel fire proof insulation.  We have never developed reuseable stainless steel nested for return packaging.  We are economicly all primitives.  America, the iconic aspiration, free world leader is still a late Stone Age, fire based, primitive economy.

Today liberals usually want to conserve and conservatives want to spend, spend, spend while blaming liberals who usually spend less, at least on themselves.  The global guideway is an efficiency improvement labor and time savings mass production machine conserving resources while being liberal in services to all peoples businesses and personal life in the moment options.

No one that I am aware of ever analyzes vehicle efficiencies based on minimizing frontal area with the lowest coefficient of drag shapes with smaller minimal shared volume and tonnage to air drag ratio and lowest possible rolling resistance.

A twelve square foot vehicle frontal area can handle all but about 1% of shipments.  Slightly larger 3.5 foot diameter cylindrical pressurized bodies are more emotionally comfortable to ride in for a few and carry 99.99% of all items wanting to be shipped.

Slight increases in squared out dementional double costs per vehicle mile but make the cube guideway vehicles more consumer product mass movement friendly, the new intermodal container that travels at a mile every six seconds as cheaply as on the deck of a Emma Mersk look a like.

Presently people have never expierienced vehicles making individual pick up and deliveries then joining into trains to share frontal area drag.

Surface area drag calculations ignore the complexities of optimized elongated designs where skin friction drag is inversely parabolically reduced with increasing length.  All the vehicles we use are limited in length and skinniness by structural single body stiffness and two point support road and rail vehicles or one point aircraft movement support mechanisms.

Water craft are all similarly limited and none being really skinny quadrant plenum wave conformal side flexible seal SES sea train hulls that are side shifting cabin mass roll balanced and fore to aft plenum balanced no longer needing foils or displacement for pitch and roll control.  A parastalic wave crest contact compressed air return duct is needed as a compressed air feed point for chamber balancing pitch and roll support shifts.

Full automation is needed for all of this because human labor is a hundred times more life time expensive, has inferior reaction times and goes to sleep on the job.

Increasing Transportation efficency presently requires a direct connected generator to motor all electric replacement for the portable advantage and energy density of fuel burning systems.

To replace space launch costs we need to start building the first Startram ground accelerated decelerated launch and recovery tube to Daryl’s ET3 standard scale.  This only works well with a clover leaf crossection structural tubular balloon elevation path on each end to the highest point supportable, about 140,000 feet or more to the mechanical not plasma portal valve point.  It realy should cost about $3,000 per person today, about $1,000 ten years from production launches to travel to space and back after the $30 to $50 billion capital cost is amortized off at 400 net tons a day to and from orbit per tube.  This soon will be about 1500 net tons per tube with much higher capacities depending on cooling and electric supply distribution to capacitance launch passage use.  Increases in launch frequency requires higher coil cooling and capacitor and IGBT capacity.  All of this is only possible with high lyly elongated rod armatures that are themselves recycled as fast as possible.  This recycling is a weak link in the economics improvement and might best be ment with high G rate deceleration in the upper atmospher before magnet heating and using super cooled pressurized liquid nitrogen boil off protection in the tubular rods for cooling.

The global door to door self lowering guideways structural longitudnal span members become a new lower cost electric grid with ultra deep closely spaced geothermal, mass produced package power plant.  This reduces the resistance energy losses we expierience from distant centralized sources.  Wires are mire efficient but are much smaller in area tonnage with electricity flowing through multiple paths or from all directions to high demand spot uses.  The vehicles accelleration needs the power supply system is primarily designed for far exceed industrial and residential peak needs.  An exception is occasional seasonal all electric agriculture field work needs in certain areas of sparse guideway grids and population demands.

The guideway grid performs the function of a loop main circuit.  This should be supplied full line voltage just subsonic internal air gap velocity reduced internal pressure out-runner high RPM CO2 geothermal turbo generators and at the vehicle direct motor use propulsion output full line voltage.  Today this is commonly 600 volts in railway practice.  But with the use of basalt fiber composit guideway piers, spans, vehicle bodies and wheel motor frames this voltage might be presently 6,000 to eventually over 20,000 volts DC.  The limits are coil windings designed to reduce potential between wraps reducing arc-overs.  Similar motors can be used on the propulsion end using variable coil tap and stationary inside coil mechanical air gap control with partial numbers of coils switched on and off as needed to increase partial power demand efficiencies over a wide speed and thrust range.

These issues alone can save us about two thirds of non process energy we use today.

One major goal for the global guideway is to lower all installation costs for access grid miles to arround $200,000 a one way PRT style grid mile.  One way full load train supporting miles might cost around $1 million a mile or less.  The lightest possible guideway is the least expensive possible form of vehicle right of way.  It will take about thirty years and about half of present infrastructure spending to replace  the existing use of about 35 million miles of roads, railroads, air and sea routes.  Submerged but buoyant Vee boron tethered small diameter ocean tubes become cross ocean high speed guideway grids connecting isolate islands with global access.

If we are going to maintain our planet’s liveable featuers we need change to new forms of fuel burning free advanced all electric low waste higher outcome systems.

We still rely on belief in the wisdom of collectively self credentialed elders as our planetary tribal leaders.  Our tribes are becoming nations of hundreds of millions.  We rarely question the solutions of leaders, mostly because they will not allow impact dissension or contrary thoughts to interfere with their official religious like visions and plans.  Beliefs simplify peoples need to understand complexities and reduce social tensions from disagreements.

This is about a total transitions to all electric, naturally sourced energy and million plus year recycled materials use environmentally neutral global and very soon solar system wide economy.  This is production and process machinery, materials and global economy forms, ideally forbidden chemicals we should cease to use and agricultural Savoy mixed grazing natural habitat farming with open savanas surrounded by fruit nut and lumber forests and grain and crop smaller fields no longer needing pestasides herbasides and fertilizers.  This is design specifics.

This is intended to be all inclusive, benefiting everyone in personal and economic growth chain reactions that are environmentally neutral for evermore.  This is about sustainably through volcanic and claimant cycles that occasionally kill off large population habitats. The global guideway is a universal use survival machine system doing what all transportation systems and other future proposal are unable to economicly do.

This is about throwing away against superior guideway replacement competition, all non productive industries and institutions we think are indispensable today.  We have to let them go and quit subsidizing and making excuses for unsustainable industries and the whole investment in roads airports, railroads and canals.  They must be allowed to fall into disuse, deterioration and be harvested for concrete slabs for coastal and river valley flood erosion control.

We we also have to give up listing to the religious vendettas and inquisitions against socialism and the childish stand against progressiveisum or change.  This is the crybaby tantrums of leaders and wealthy people who see the lower income classes will no longer supply them with candy so they can boss their management and worker classes around.  Free enterprise is the best but profit making goals have to be replaced with product and service cost to benifit comparisons.

This is not outlawing harmless activities no matter how wrong headed but giving alternatives to bad behaviors as developmental starting points.

Today and for over a century the proposed fully automated guideway systems have been derided and discouraged because they no longer provide pathways to profit and power or just because they are different.

Natural ecosystems animals, plants, soil, mineral and water purity systems should have long ago been granted personhood protections better than what corporation owners enjoy.  This is not just a natural park set aside but general enhancement and support.  Proposed here is massive human habitats integrated and dispersed back into a visually natural world, connected together by mostly hidden in forests or ET3 buried global guideways.

The ecology is the base of all economies.  After all we depend on nature’s ongoing self managing natural industry and tens of millions of years of resource accumulations for our small share of  the natural society we continue our self centered lives best, most enjoyably inside of.

Ask the less happy outer space dwellers out in the cold.  You know nothing of their struggles yet.  How hard is it to exist on your own in the harsh endless vacuum ocean that is sparsely sprinkled with mostly barren rock, liquid and gas planetary comet and asteroid islands.  Space dwellers are mostly really unhappy people.  We do not want to make Earth manmade space junk.

Our Earth home is your home no matter where we we think we are making the best of it even when every few thousand years we burn down the local environmental houses we live in.  When we are every where on the planet we are not able to just move into another house next door.

So bad I want to tell everyone, everything all at once.  Unless you know certain things you will not understand or use others and then there is a problem.  I do not know everything I need to.  Some of this nobody has openly learned yet.  Some a few have learned but they are holding it from all the rest of us lest we no longer think we need and support them.  I can not tell you for certain about what I am not sure of but we all should try to figure it out.  We owe it to each other to know what is right and best.

RICO or racketeering defined business motives that are now tolerated as a part of capitalism, should no longer be tolerated as they burn up economic value and risk insatiable criminal like economic areas arising from easier prosperity.  Booking agencies Google, health insurance, tobacco, pain addictive drug and alcohol industries are destroyers of human world’s along with fraudulent medical practices as a whole.  These are are corrupt systems  trying to become monopololies.  All forms of user addictive products, debt cycle entrapment systems with high maintainence or constant product updates or wear out replacements and all forms of political and religious wars and promotions of hate and anything that wastes naturer or economic value and enslaves people.

To advance themselves leaders create free range social indentured servitude debtors prison societies.  We are told we owe an obligation to worship figureheads and nations and should be ashamed for thinking we can get along without institutional figureheads to lead us.

The guideway integrates direct phone dial up simple global logistics user control of a new all electric faster than jets, every trip and shipment is every door direct to every door on the planet.  Forget about theWards and Sears models now called Amazon and Alibaba.  The guideway is the real best deal, picking up at the manufacturer by shopped from their website searched on a Google free, advertising free subject listing only internet.

This new system can only best be a global miniature suspended monorail If the combination of cheapest to install and access any where station free guideway becomes the low bidder.  The external guideway can be the first in history installation platform for a lower cost deep geothermal, almost everywhere local electric supply.

This electric supply can more quickly pay back debt than all other electric systems because of new gen set mass produced designs that greatly increase the rim velocity of the turbine generator coupling while lowering the material weight and fabrication cost by designing to manufacturers cost to performance bypassing all historical split case designs.  Verticle shaft instead of horizontal shaft turbine outrunner generator can use a simple low drag bearing unloading to lengthen me between overhaul or TBO.

The guideway is powered and supplies all energy needs while becoming on debt retirement nearly free transportation and all electric geothermal energy.  The guideway builds itself using new designs of fully automated production and construction machinery never tried before.

This is to all people on the planet cheaper than burning coal and natural gas thermal energy.  This is of course unless you have a coal mine or gas well your own on your property.  Every property can have a low impact geothermal power well drilled on their property and a gen set installed in a ground level basement building.  This includes ascender core segment lift out drill systems that can operate in a seven foot curling basement and bore a shoot down thirteen miles.  A angled conveyor takes core segments and ruble or muck up to guideway vehicles for constant removal.  A three foot diameter shaft can provide about one megawatts of electricity for hundreds to thousands of years drilling out new side holes while thermal extraction is under way.  This is so simple we could have started doing this in the 1920s.  We did other traditional continuation things instead.

The guideway is a global electric vehicle supply infrastructure built at a tiny fraction the cost of electric road and air vehicles.  Solar, wind and electric vehicles require the greater cost of batteries and battery charging infrastructure.  No transformers, inverters, cabinets, conduits, line drops, plugs or inductors are needed only bus bar pick up connections using the linear guideway structural elements as low resistance conductors at high voltage direct from the basalt fiber case and rotors generators.  This is a all new electric energy production distribution and conversion use infrastructuer designed for adaptive robotic installation using new kinds of simpler to install, site modified to fit every situation without conventional conduit and caponata systems.  A new kind of hardened wire is involved designed to be cut and directly pushed into standard 6,000 volt sockets without using any connector systems.  Thermal load control protection allows a throttling if loads if overheating or multi cult detection occurs.  Metal and plastic combustible parts are eliminated.  This electrical system might operated at 600 to 800 degrees F. without being destroyed.

There are daily corrections and additions.

The subject here is simple.  The global guideway is  a fully automated, horizontal elevator like, fully automated user controlled, world wide intercontinental connection for all personal and industrial logistics.  The proposed lower cost guideway goes door to door between all houses and businesses on the planet like a long distance telephone system that carries people and goods nonstop.  It never needs a station or a terminal or special platform of any kind.

The guideway one type serves all human needs vehicle is the workd for all future time advanced automobile, truck, aircraft, ocean carrier, railroad and mobile machinery platform.  This is all self supplied producing excess externally distributed low cost electricity.

Today a high percentage of goods not used in construction like dirt, sand, gravel, and cement powder, steel and wood are shipped across boarders.  Heavier cheaper commodities are obtained locally.  Most oil , natural gas, vehicles and appliances are inter continental or long distance cross continentally shipped.  There are at least six handoffs between present international commerce and more yet stages to retail sales.

Where ever the  guideway reaches a city or rural area this transportation overhead cost can be reduced to usually no goods modal or storage or inspection transfers or at most one transfer from the end of a production line, no need for warehousing straight on a globally roaming guideway vehicle, to go nonstop at 950 feet per second to the customers homes door to door vehicle direct delivery or to a store shelf or stock room for inside unloading, no lift truck or pallet jack nessasry.  The guideway vehicles are small enough to hang from taller cielings moving above head height down isle ways.  How many aircraft, trucks, ships, railroads and even automobiles and vans that can move in one day all of the world’s commerce and people trips can make it down the isles of most stores am their stock rooms?

This is for transportation that is cheaper to build per mile than any hard surfaced roadway, cheaper than Skytran and urethane wheel boggie PRT guideways.  This is all electric global transportation that does not requirer any battery power to globalize low cost fuel burning free electric economies that are forever sustainable, without flaws.  Every vehicle on the planet will directly pick up power like any electric railway from the guideway from a 40 million mile extension cord hooked direct to local power plant spaced out on a grid about five to thirty miles apart every where on earth.

The heat of the earth usually seven to nine miles under ground level can provide all the electricity a area will need for not burning any more fuel for practical reasons for tens of thousand to in some places millions of years.  This is also about how to cheaply drill large diameter shafts using fully automated machinery designs miles deep with a low cost for the first mile about the same as the last mile using shaft wall supported ascenders.

The proposed new running gear design is lower in rolling resistance than flanged railways by about 30% to 60% and lower than all possible road vehicle systems by about 40% to 95%.  The proposed design principles lowers dynamic drag to less than all possible systems accept vacuum pump free or vehicle evacuated ET3 and mass decoupling systems.  As drag and friction is reduced speed is increased for faster payback of capital cost with lower energy cost when using guideway automated installation ultra deep anywhere geothermal electricity.

A new set of simple receptacles and tubes allows any of these passenger and goods carrying vehicles to take on, ship at aircraft speed and discharge one to two tons of water, grain or raw materials in each vehicle‘s main compartment with passenger seats automaticly filed to the vehicle ends in bags that when not in use are sucked against the vehicle wall opposite the full length top hinged entry door.

The global guideway vehicle fleet, thirty years from now could move a cubic kilometer of materials several thousand miles every day yet still get everybody on the planet to work, school and errands on time While making all global deliveries everywhere.

The global guideway is managed on a single design, lower cost per mile miniature suspended monorail.  This is lower in cost than streets and highways are to build but elevated above, undisturbing of all land uses underneath.  The guideway vehicles are all self lowering to ground level for access.  This requirs no station, intermodal terminal or special platform to use mobility ever again.  You can load or unload in the middle of a undeveloped field, forest, mountain slope or beach, beside or above every business, house and apartment, isolated village or farm or in narrow urban walk only alleyways.

The global guideway is simply a jet fast, miniature suspended monorail system that is small as practical for most vehicle movements.  By excluding a fraction of a percent of the larger hauled items we can learn to make everything mostly smaller and disassembled to fit in smaller guideway vehicles for lower air drag due to small vehicle frontal area.  This means less energy is used per seat, cargo volume or ton which means lower cost at higher speed which allows a faster pay back on investment period than any other vehicle in history by often hundreds of times cheaper while being imediately on demand.

The best electric vehicle is a faster battery free guideway electric vehicle.  The best energy source for tens of thousands of years in the future is ultra deep geothermal local everywhere small package power plants.

Eliminating all unecessary costs, that we tolerate in all of the vehicles we use today, eliminates about two thirds of the cost of all products that is transportation and distribution in markets.  Guideway full automation costs less than human distribution.

Local product markets become instantly global direct producer to final consumer markets world wide.  Small farmers and shop manufacturers can sell products on the far die of the world competing with large industries.  This is because a non Google based guideway integrated internet has no barriers to market presentation.  This boosts economies while eliminating jobs that need to be replaced in a new social not commercial and government based economy.

Peoples needs come first no longer depending on investor leader based industrial structuer.  Spontainious structure is a social inter action needing connectivity beyond the simplicities of Facebook and Google.  Proposed is a concierge personal assistant that guides people to organize with each other towards common beneficial goals no longer needing political industrialist or religious leadership for action.

This universal public utility guideway is vehicle not facility and staff based.  This eliminates large cost shares when combined with the vehicles only having about ten to twenty percent of road truck linear weight. With less air resistance or drag than a bicycle without it’s rider.

The vehicles are designed to work independently and in groups as visually tubular like trains, out of doors in all adverse weather and corrosive conditions for centuries.  When all other vehicle systems are shut down by zero visibility, ice and high drifting snow storms, high winds, floods, earth quakes and forest fires, with a vehicle that can break down or wear out these guideway designs should keep on going because of personal rapid transit or PRT design principles never commonly used before even for PRT systems.  The guideways fight fires hundreds of feet away from the beams.

These vehicles travel on self alignment maintaining, high section moment machine tool accurate running surfaces.  Under these protective monorail beams the vehicle trains flash from horizon to horizon almost unnoticed with a quick hissing audible sound suppressed by the design at a mile every six seconds or less, on average twenty five feet over ground level in mostly 100 to 2,000 foot long vehicle trains.

This is simply a global nonstop, local and long range, public all transportation and energy service utility.  The guideway serves all human and environmental needs and desires.  Businesses and institutions of all kinds can become global using the guideway.

All existing technologies are used here, requiring no new basic research other than imediately building prototypes in a few months from best available parts, and testing them to failure under fully automatic control to every two to four months testing an improved version.  Many companies in China already have limited mass production machinery lines and developed expertise in making the required parts.  Identified companies in dozens of other countries can pick this up in a year or less and run with these ideas, as there is nothing here that has ever been totally a secret, only the whole idea combination has been never been popularized, but been around for 130 years now in open public testing of primitive early designs.  We could have started testing these devices in the US and Scotland about 180 years ago but no one had the foresight then To properly use what was being learned and demonstrated.  We have stupidly stumbled through this fuel burning age taking too long to rethink priorities.

First comes a need to understand all the parts and how they comparatively work.  Then once educated comes the serious question; “if not this, then what?”  Or better, “why not try the guideway first?”

The guideway outperforms in every measure all other systems I can find any data on.  Many developers have understood parts of these principles and chose lesser design and market paths to follow.

If you do not understand this, as no known expert has openly understood all the trade offs, then it is time to go back and learn the details all over again.  This is not an opinion based issue as everything here has mathematical reasoning requirering comparative testing and refinement to see what the real limits are.  The limits we have already crossed at practical need levels.  We just need to dial in design options or best component arrangements for long life certain reliability.  Most engineers will be afraid of the speed and forces involved but would not they have been afraid to build a 757, 787 or 777X forty years ago.  We are better at everything.  A PRT development engineer at Boeing about thirty years ago told me, “they had solved all the PRT problems but corporate kept them from proceeding as it was not a core company product like the 777”.

About the same time a Vice President at Ford and one at Union Pacific told me the same thing when I tried to describe what each of them could do.  No board of directors has had the courage to take the risk and be first.

The guideway‘s full automation replaces all management and skill levels of human cost overhead in surface movements by new design.

Only irregular maintenance is required based on the first know design in history for a simple electric wheel motor in a variable segmental length low weight and frontal area to power ratio chain.  One motor production line replaces all propulsion system lines from automobiles and commercial jets to nuclear power plants for ships.

The property access grid guideway can last centuries without major replacement or yearly repairs.  Street systems require full time staffing for constant deterioration repairs and resurfacing about every 35 years world wide replacement and improvement to meet ever rising demand for the whole of the world’s Infrastructure.  In 35 years almost every house on the planet can have a guideway connection on their property and half the world’s road system will already have been removed and grassland and forested back over between properties.  A coast to coast unbroken mostly fenseless green primeval like carpet land scape can shortly exist, where even the buildings blend in, no longer needing much light for streets at night.  A moer active all modern living population no longer needs external uses of property required by large area concrete slabs.  The guideways are hidden is automaticly planted and watered vines and trees, guideway strip forests.

This running gear system is the first proposed use of a nonslip low distributed bearing and wheel load traction system.  This can provide the power to weight ratios of after burning turbojets at many times greater efficency with long life bearings, commutation and full electric supply voltage matching throttle control.  All at ambient not super cooled temperatures not 6% different in efficency than super conducting without the system cooling costs and losses.  This does not preclude superconducting for maglev.

For the first time in history many layers of operation substitution redundancy allows vehicles to continue operating with many critical parts failed.  Fluid cooling that is direct immersion internal hot spot injection, not today’s heat sink designs, are proposed using streamlined skin dissipation.  The dielectric insulating lubricant has to also be the motor coolant.  Filtering out metal particles requires a nonplugging three step process described further on.  The motor creates an internal low pressure to reduce mostly internal wheel air friction.  Hot temperatures reduce chocking shock waves and interference drag in cold weather.

The gear rim treads step across the micro rack teeth with little siding action just momentary contact.  reducing thermal expansion pitch differential remains the main wear problem.  The wheels need to adjust to the pitch of the rails or have a very low expansion ratio.  This is not our grand fathers or even high speed railroads.  This is as new as supersonic to hyper sonic aircraft only a lot slower.  Once this is demonstrated you will say why did we not do this before.  That is if it can be made to work as designed..

Right now you might say how can we do this or even can it ever be possible.  I can ask that same question about every vehicle and machine we use today.  They all are like magic before they were developed.  This is figuratively much better magic.

Heating control is the most difficult design task today, just as it was in David G Weems engineering consideration notes from 1889.  Weems first proposed and tested the for runner of this systems proposal.

The Smthsonian has Weems two test vehicles, that were capable of 200 MPH in 1889, but lacked a smoother test track and a larger power supply, full enclosure of the wheels and larger cooling air scoops, all planed in patents and drawings.  Weems ran out of money, could not find further investors and the primitive transportation systems of our present time evolved instead.  Weems’s engineering notes and engineering publication critiquing articles and historic letters are all in the Smithsonian archives and warehouses, which they have refused for over three decades now to put back on display.

High miles traveled by each vehicle in daily combined urban, interurban and intercontinental year and long service lives with fast pit stop replacement of all parts, a rugged weather, ballistic impact and abrasion resistant basalt fiber carborundum composite body with intended multi century service lives means fast capital pay back of a few months to a year, being operationally almost cost free there after, accept for rebuilding bearings, treads and commutation about every two to five years plus electric supply cost.

One to two million miles would be traveled each year by every vehicle.  Each all purpose global commerce utility vehicle serves almost every human need serially almost every day.

This is a all new product industry of about one trillion to five trillion dollars a year in product output for about four decades before market saturation.  Today our combined existing systems cost us over ten trillion each year.  The early models can not be exceeded in performance as they are out of the factory capable of supersonic speeds in trains and can be improved to upper limits by the first decade.

ET3 will parallel build out at the same time and last in production a few decades farther on producing industrial profits, replacing much of the self lowering guideway.  The launch and recovery ring technologies will last centuries beyond this as industrial product markets.  There is no way to estimate beyond the self lowering guideway global system as the ET3 based technologies have too many uncertainties as described.

Knowing the economic effects has to consider that the $60 trillion to over $250 trillion final cost will take several decades to introduce destroying during that time major sections of all economies that can no longer compete.  There are no significant guideway jobs as that is why the services are so inexpensive.  The guideway has to be seen as a cost reduction expediter of all other commercial areas as well as a personal option improvement through a rapid reduction in almost every cost of living area.  This reduces a need for personal labor, freeing up people to consume adventures and permanently pursue hands on life time education as entertainment.

It is hard to know the outcomes any more than in 1919 you could have foreseen today.  Only every one a couple of decades from now with the first ET3 scale startram till be able to afford a day or so recreating in a space hotel no more expensively than a cruise ship vacation today.  Only ET3 makes this possible, Wake up Daryl, this is your moment and you are my hero.

We know how to do all phases of what is described here.  We choose not to do any of this because this seems hard.  It mostly seems so different.  We are all like kids born into a global multi industrial family that beats them.  The beatings we receive can sometimes feel like comforting love, our own wishful desire for love projected on a costly set of life shortening corrupt road and air vehicle industrial products, governmet, professional associations.  This is industry based economies that acting as parents dictate what products, logistics and market delivery are our human family experiences.

Dependence on fuel burning of any kind can not seen good if we have the geothermal powered guideway substitute to compare with.

Noisy at ground level personally operated road vehicles everywhere on almost constantly bumpy streets using up today about $3,000 to $8,000 dollars a year per vehicle to average under 12,000 miles driven is universal abuse of people everywhere.  One in about 50 of us will die from road vehicle use.  After accident life shortening and total disabilities and pollution deaths are included.

Not allowed to even popularly know about PRT options we can not envision getting along without cars, trucks and streets.

The total guideway replacement option requires a anywhere access self lowering vehicle design that never emerged, was never discussed in tens of thousands of conferences, studies and presentations.  When we can all access everywhere mobility that goes faster than business jet speed with lower energy drag per seat or ton than slow railroads in dense sea level air, we will never look back longingly at the abuse the personal auto era developers romantically forced on our global family.

Data networked transfer and management is not needed for a totally integrated PRT global guideway.  Each vehicle operates as independently as a personal car driver on a national road network.  There needs to be no monitoring at all as each vehicle sees all the other adjacent vehicles and all nearby calls of users for service.  The vehicles independently announce they are closest till one takes a call based on a best time and service type to customer needs algorithm.

This is internally complex but requires no overloaded central dispatcher computer managment.  Unmet capacity needs are announced by region and globally using a tiny server capacity system for all the commerce needs of the whole planet second by second with the capacity of the single cell phone I am writing on.  Edge or fringe data is is not needed either as it is locally processed and refined with results being acted upon by the tool carriers doing the work and the owner customers assisted decision processes.  Periodically as needed movement and actions are recorded in a world activities data base supplied in contributions by all the guideway vehicles and tool carriers in a rotating down load of the past week of their activities in general.

Each vehicle record externalbpassing images, odors, organic chemicals, particulates, nitros oxides for pollution and gun shot triangulation for crime detection.  This data can be used to create polluting maps.

All the vehicle and internet users can see interpretations of the meaning of this general data.  Nothing even remotely like this exists in our crude Adam Smith Chicago School primitive understanding of modern automated economies.

We cannot live in, eat, build from, cloth ourselves with, move ourselves around or enhance the natural environment with data.  In the absence of each of us being very intelligent data is useful information to act on, but it is neither action or product or service.  The global guideway is an every human assistant action, a action implementing global fully automated machine set.

Our best future is not in anyway data connected.  A better future requires improvement in real physical systems accomplishments that at times relies on gross amounts of immediate local data for guidance.  Get rich quick is the new tulip field economy.  Programming dirt cheap individual computer data sorting and open market collection and distribution are the way to go.  Low cost high benifit ratios.  Happy providers can still make a living just not a killing.

Data management can be formalized to no longer need systems suppliers but becomes a free public service used by all, managed and owned by nobody, built by global public service robotic egoless self manufacturing systems dispersed out on a local guideway network that becomes the new nonprofit based internet.  The guideway robotic systems roboticly builds itself, no longer requiring expensive facilities, providing it’s own electricity for tens of thousands of years from stable geothermal supplies and natural flow convective cooling spread along 40 million mile of nuclear war hardened guideway length, dependent on no central facility any where.  Protecting the guideway is easier than rebuilding it.  Besides few people really worship military power in a prosperous world.

Substituting this project’s set of goals for any of several hundred thousand wepons systems development efforts in dozens of countries of similar difficulty over the last 100 years might have changed human war based history by bring the world’s isolated populations together as mostly one economic unit guideway  before the Spanish American and Boer wars, inter marrying cultures as a world wide integrated city trading society.

We are instead isolated by country and continents lacking personal speed and global instant commercial market access through a Google gate keeper inhibiting free open internet presentation under a preditory Roman Empire games and zero sum casino for profit only system.

We need to bring the competing govornments of our world together to collectively desolve their national working identities Euro style.  The histories will still be recorded and the secrets will no longer have a reason to be keep for even more history to inform and amuse us.

We are spending more to own and use a slow rough riding personal road vehicle instead of a gliding smooth fast as a drag racing saltflat speed record car, tough as a one ton diesel pickup, PRT, all pourpose public transportation that has no territorial or political boundaries.

Look at the human races sexual partner, commercial product and political activity betrayals.  Look at product reliability and cost of living for poorer people and income distribution and investor organized debt based economies that drag some people down and make other people wealthy.

We can do better than these things but we have to do it mostly differently.  This is about completely different anytime anywhere starting points.

The global guideway is a world wide warehouse isle-way for the pick and ship call and impulsively travel, all purpose global any point access, higher efficency,  PRT vehicles.

These vehicles arrive on call, ready for almost any task.  Just as computers and cell phones have many built in and add on programs and apps and connect with many programed devices and data sources, so the guideway vehicles carries on board a catalog full of adaptive capacities, robotic skills and tools.

The vehicle helps novice users learn in stages learn how to achieve personal and business SEO free global access featuers through different types of graphic animations and verbal presentation primers seen onboard each vehicle used.  Vehicles entering market areas might pick up local user directories indicating user sophistication and presenting them with an appropriate level of service interface.  Eventually like using a cell phone every body will learn how to do use the global guideway for everything.

Few, often no specialty vehicles are needed making many more standard vehicles locally ready for all common needs near by.

All vehicles have to station and platform free independently self lower on one of several new hoist designs to any safe spot under the guideway the calling user chooses.  The vehicles see and avoid users, animals, objects, tree limbs, approaching vehicles and pedestrians as they descend, as described further on.

Global rental, self owned and managed public use robotic tool carriers are each land surface all terrain people carriers along with being a universal mount for health care devices replacing trips to emergency rooms and clinics, yard work, construction, materials handling, farm, mine and factory tasks when coupled to the right globally mobile rental implements.  Mobility requirements for tool carriers go from being able to be safe at expressway speeds to being able to fold for transportation inside the tiny cross section global guideway vehicles to being small enough to go through most walk doors to being able to lift and shoulder one or more tons as handling systems or carriers of machinery of all kinds.

Inventories of carriers and implements can be quickly moved amongst unmaned local outside storage yards world wide, using the guideway inventory replenishment system.

The tool carriers are a one machine construction bidirectional tracked vehicle that is rentable world wide.  Creating novice user interfaces uses the same graphic animation primers use in the guideway vehicles.  Paper operational manuals have long been obsoleate.  Interactive user screen operational systems have been on copy machines and NC machine tools for decades now.

The tool carriers allow amateurs to use tool carriers and the proposed panel wall systems to build like professionals at a fraction of today’s costs.  Order up the self design sections and a tool carrier assembler to assist you and you could build a occupy-able house in a few hours of a single day or add an addition onto an existing structure or apply insulated roofing or wall weatherazation that is designed to last centuries instead of decades till it has to be repeated.

Each tool carrier is an adaptive all skills and knowledge base problem solver designed to consultant orofessionals and authority humans when safer to do so.  An example is GIS or one call before digging and footing and highly stressed wind or snow loads calculations made onboard the tool carrier.  The tool carriers need to be many times better sensor and computer problem solvers than the guideway vehicles or autonomus road vehicles.  A set of user to tool carrier interactive transaction examples will be desribed further on.

The global guideway is for user’s, an economy growth serving, cost of living reduction advantage for all, not a profit advantage for a few.

Self ownership and self management of each user serving and controlled pubic service robotic element is required to eliminate stagnation, universal human commerce moral corruption and high cost and lack of foresight of large scale industrial business or govornment human management and operations.  Long before autonomus intelligence is developed robotic systems can be programmed to exceed human judgement performance in most doctorate and liscensed professional catigories.  This waits only loading data sets into machine understanding software and giving robotic vehicles and tool carriers enough properly connected sensors and manipulating dexterity to carry out tasks.

One small frontal area but long PRT vehicle replaces the capital and operating cost doing the functions every day of about 15 cars and two average heavy commercial trucks with about the cost of a high end SUV by carrying all loads much faster using less energy cost per net ton mile.  Every modern auto has this much technology in it.

a couple hundred guideway vehicle replaces a container ship and connecting railroad and road trucks on each end.  Fifty or so guideway vehicles replaces a A-380 or 777x jet, the airports used and the connecting infrastructure on each end.

the first guideway vehicles will cost about $100,000 each.  Latter versions migh be guideway industry made for $50,000 or less.

High volume urban guideway traffic jams will never occur because of very high cornering speed, acceleration and straight away urban speeds, rarely lower than 200 MPH normally reachable with one to two tons on board in about eleven seconds from a stop and about six seconds from a parabolic right corner on ramp.  Side street speeds need be rarely lower than 100 MPH with tight urban corner ramp speeds usually over 20 MPH.  Traffic is the same passage rates by time but spread out to make guideways seem almost diserted at rush hours.  There needs be no speed limit through urban areas under 650 MPH on light train traffic straight sections.  Speed on straights is constantly changing by different on and off ramp vehicle and train spacing.

A first generation prototypes can exceed these seemingly impossible speeds by road vehicle standards, to test wear factors on curves and safety margins.  Untill fail safe inter vehicle demonstrations prove reliability, gaps and speeds will need to be much more restrictive.  These are vehicles that can stop if needed from 650 MPH in about ten seconds with out injuring most passengers.  Emergency stopping passengers will be shook up emotionally, but quickly recover being use to the possibility just as we are locking wheels in emergency auto stops at about a fourth this rate.

The guideways and vehicles must be a user controlled beneficial public global trust, that is self owned, that is roboticly managed by a standard software.  A control data fire wall has to exist between outside controls and data and any operational task controls.  The vehicles can be programmed with a cooperative specific task reactionary understanding of user needs.  If a vehicle is called into a suspicious or known risk area or is being damaged or overridden or detects illegal indicating loads oders, radiation or sounds it can call layers of local to international police to virtually ride along.

The police ride the vehicles remotely in crime detection.  Robotic all terrain patrolmen can substitute for officers on duty and be launched from some vehicles as needed.  Robot cop will not look like any device you have ever probably seen befoer.  Definitely no human but nice and will not shoot unarmed suspects.  Every vehicle should be equipped with time and directional acoustic and thermal recorders.  This triangulates and instantly reports emergencies and fires.

No external control has to be always enforced but a guideway vehicle can always if at risk lock itself in place to the overhead guideway until returned to service by a onsite employee.

The start of a better world is to use the guideways, phone and internet to constantly survey people to see what ther personal needs and problems are.  This becomes a universal loan and other aid institution for millionaires to street people.  Every class has unment aspirations and problems that need solving.

No mobility operator or manager skills are ever needed by users or operators again to travel or ship anywhere on or off the planet.  If you can dial a phone call and listen to or watch plain graphic instructions, in all languages you can travel and ship any amount anywhere on the planet for a couple of cents a ton mile, faster than jets, direct to every wealthy to impoverished residence.

A Braille pin pad and visual communication pad for deaf and blind is integrated into the seat arm rests.  These control and display systems will also be the world’s first full banking and industrial investor service ATM guideway zero overhead insurance and global investment market system.  How this is done in a 5 inch by 5 inch by 14 inch space is described further on in design details.

This is the global end of any need for the cost overhead of any form of financial, govornments, insurence or regulator overhead.  The guideway user inputs control the logistics global economy reducing 2/3rds of the overhead cost of providing everything in the productive guideway sustainable forever human economy.

 The guideway global network is a human race survival asurance system, countering anti human religious like ideas that have lead to a hidden assumption of eventual uncertainly defined often as human moral or Earth shrugging failure.  We now know better, historical and future batural failure modes.  The guideway is designed to bypass all of these modes with strategies described in detail further on, for every failure option with only the exception of the unlikely ruthless alien invasion and even hundreds of strategies for these possibilities.  Much of these alternatives have been covered in unpublished plans ignoring a universal global guideway solution.

More efficient machines mean less income for a few but lower cost of living for everything for every one.  Few people are working in transportation and energy.  High profits add to such costs more than labor.

The buyer can not be aware of product and service outcomes which may be unbenificial to them or harmful to the natural world.  Popular acceptance of harmful products is no indicator of viability or propriety of suppliers.  Even top experts are ignorant of cost to benifit ratios almost never trying to figure them.  Let the buyer beware of uncaring sellers has always been considered immoral and should have in more than the few poorly enforced regulations and criminal codes be regulated as illegal.  Products and services that harm people should requirie forfeiture, and separation from commerce untill personal reform.  Might that not be any of us in a unsustainable global economy.  The guideway is constantly being regulated by democratic user decisions based on the new decision making systems described further on.

All consumers are trapped inside national and global economies where decision making centralization of power and profit at any cost is standard practice from communist to capitalist, democratic to dictatorships.  All profit driven economies are free range debters prisons for poorer people.  The problem is how to improve the  effects of the growth of wealth for all through more efficient means of production with very low cost guideway market delivery, “logistics.”

The global guideway is an integration of health and safety, transportation, all lower overhead personal to industrial mobility without any remaining need for govornments, finance, separate systems of transportation and communications all powered by a ultra deep everywhere geothermal finely dispersed local guideway based electric grid.  All in one and more.

The guideway is the start of permantly sustainable off grid all electric housing for all people on the planet.  Find a unused house any where and it provides all your needs accept food and water with minimal maintenance for centuries.  Design component and production tooling possibilities are detailed further on.  Low cost housing for all is also an indirect guideway function requiered to boost the vibrancy of an ever improving sustainable global economy.

The global guideway is a parallel undisturbing breakaway user controlled robotic economic machine system.  Still the over land used guideway grids contribute disproportionately to the existing old parallel economy untill its obsoleate functions no longer are practiced or are absorbed.  Nothing is forbidden that can not be proved in common law practices to be truly externally harmful to others.

The guideway design is for self construction by fully automated autonomus vehicle production machines that never need supporting  ground based machinery or transportation.  The guideway is self installed extended, modified, removed and moved elsewhere. Removed guideways leave no sign of their former spot existance on the same day of removal of ever being there in the first place.  The global guideway designs are maintained all above and undisturbing of all present natural and built up environments.  The guideways maintain a minimal path through forests and even fully automaticly monitor, plant and maintain strip forests around them often miles out where ever possible.  Users control extends to choices of scenic views and habitat plains that are maintained and correctly populated as well by the guideways using Savoy understandings.

The present concrete or liquid stone or our present late Stone Age construction we rely on leaves earth moved mound builder like and rubble and artifact traces of our modern occupation many thousands of years after today’s abandonments.

If a pier or span is damaged, which is a rare, unlike roads where it is a regular occurrence due to brittle fractures,the use at all of steel concentrated skeletal reinforcement micro crack producing processes and common forms of land subsidence.

It takes under two minutes time to change out any major guideway span part or structure using the fully automated construction machine designs.

The guideway is designed to maximize robotic fast thinking talents not robotic software applied to machines designed to be ineffectively dumb and slow for human control.  Avoiding the present universal transportation collateral damage is what the guideway dies better.

Today this is about 1.4 million deaths each year from accident, two million deaths from pollution and about 20 million injuries and hospitalizations including property losses with about 60 trillion US dollars in costs and losses each year to the disorganized economies of the world as compared to using a global guideway.

Installing the 40 million miles of guideway grid should one time cost under about 150 trillion dollars including it’s use share of a ultra deep geothermal power supply placed about every ten to thirty miles.This supply moved as production zones are cooled down should last guideway energy needs most laces an average of about 50,000 years of full time present likely mobility needs.  This is calculated as aproximtely four times present average population consumptions or about twelve times present outcomes after factoring in improvements and subtracting inefficiency factors.

The humanoid robot applications model promoted by most thoughtless developers is designed to not assist us to be more productive but to replace us in existing systems to add to productivity.  No fully automated purpose built self directed machines have ever looked like a human.

The guideway vehicle is designed to travel in groups  or gap free smooth sided ridged body rim coupled trains looking like one long tubue of two or three or hundreds of independently PRT routed vehicles.

These can travel in longer trains at a little over twice the speed of sound continuously at ambient sea level conditions with one to two tons on board.  All the vehicles are governed for comfirtabke curve and turbulence vibration limiting speeds, normally traveling less than one one half that speed with average loads of about 400 pounds carried in mostly short distances in about 200 daily pick up and deliveries in local hauls averaging about 5 to 25 miles.  Fewer near buy hauls might average about 100 miles between inter city hauls averaging about 1,000 miles to every day each vehicle making at least one intercontinental cuircuit.  Every vehicle every day will carry mostly people for all kinds of trip often with compartment separated goods deliveries on board and I termitenly when the primary traffic loads are less carrying water and dry commodities in full compartment bags with end folded seats described further on.

Each day every vehicle will have delivered many packages, letters, people and every few days picked up several one to two ton loads of water as a long distance back hauls from somewhere, delivered as raw irrigation, wash or fire suppression water in one bag or in a separate bag externally sanitized domestic water for all purposes.  This is the start of global accurately controlled water conservation but nearly unlimited water needs met everywhere.

The guideway system can eventually move cubic miles of fertile soil and water every month hauled to where ever in the world it is needed and distributed at sites by autonomus tool carriers brought in by the guideway.  Tool carriers and rubble sewage vehicles can mulch up and clean up forest undergrowth leaving in place surface mulch for conservation improvement of the Workds souls and reduction of fier losses.  Excess mulch is transferred to fields where requested Or improvements in savanas and cattle grazing areas.  Peat building areas supply soil improvements to hopefully still warming northern areas or northern green house multi yearly harvest farms.

In a couple of decades the global guideway can remove and reuse the thousands of square miles of unused roads and airport runways making retaining walls and walking paths out of blocks made of slabs.

The global guideway is actually a good replacement for all needs for any form of government activities.  This will be hard to understand even by libertarians who should support it.  Over the last thirty five years I have found libertarians and greens as opposed to change as the forces they see as their enemies.

At a meeting two decades ago a libertarian said to the greens present as if he was an alien they were observing, “ we both have more in common than differences and should get together.”  How insightful that sounded.  Maybe we should all get together as we have far more in common than differences.  I found at subsequent state republican , green and libertarian party meeting that the audience mostly supported open electronic democracy but the leaders at the front were shocked it was suggested and opposed grass roots democratic systems seeming compelled to suppress all but representative forms.  Never queried Democrats about this.

Argumentative personal cell phone assistant software could slowly make universal open democracy happen.  We are divided today into factions to create political supporter armies to support the sociopathic minds of nearly all leaders and committees.

For all known time increasing wealth and power drives most choices.  If you can sell products and services to willing purchasers  that make a choice viable.  Sustainability needs radically lower cost at radically higher speed in radically lighter weight to reduce the cost so there will be fewer or at times only one best user choice that enrichens the users through lower cost with better quality not the sellers through higher profits.  Letting the market place sort it out requires the market place has comparative information often suppressed by lesser performing suppliers.  Truth in advertizing should be enforced equally for all.

Amongst all likely intelligent choices this is possibly the only well thought out one in history.  A complete package.  This may be better than all the last centuries worth of ideas generated together by all he iconic developers of modern industrial commerce like Apple, AT&T, DARPA, DOT, DOE, NSF, TRW, Rand, NASA Ford, GE, GM, Boeing, Google, Musk and others.

This would be an arrogant statement accept the millions of thinkers who made our present modern Industrial age incrementally possible created not one single logical knowable route to escape the negative destination of fuel burning and wasting of fertile soil depletion, CO2 balance, introduction of chemicals that disrupt life and endless consumption of irreplaceable critical materials.  All the time aging wrinkled roughly acne potholed paved roads support low efficiency to benifit systems.  All the problems that are created by the core technology basic industrial civilization depends on roads, motorized ships, the only common fast go anywhere transportation inefficient dynamic aircraft and railroads have zero solutions that are sustainable.  There is no solution for the problems using modified versions of these same systems without some form of fuel burning and massive battery power storage and worst of all indirect access commerce and mobility rarely seen as a separate asset.

Making everything battery powered, Musk style, is not resource possible.  Not one truly low air drag vehicle outside of human powered speed record attempts and a few motor cycle and slender body four wheel speed record streamliners have exhibited truly low drag.  Take away the wings, canopy and tail and a F-105 is efficiently designed at three times ideal frontal area Assuming a long closed tail cone.  No Tesla or any other electric vehicle produced was ever minimum drag designed, even the Aptura.

If drag and movement support rolling resistance, displacement and dynamic support is not minimized then weight counts in energy calculations.  When support drag is easy to eliminate then dynamic drag becomes an even bigger cost per volume and ton mile moved.  Efficient wide range regenerative braking eliminates speed change concerns.  The dual solution has to bypass existing mobility designs to be fully optimized.  For reasons obvious in analytic comparisons nothing from our present product and infrastructure has much use going forward accept dams for flood control and irrigation.  Even dam designs that inhibit migration and nutrient transfers are problems.

Super conducting maglev has a lift to drag ratio advantage over hard flat tread flangeless micro gear wheels and rails but requires off setting thermal losses with maximum concentrated coils to mass that favors larger higher unit aero drag larger vehicles that require higher cost per mile guideways or evacuated tube costs.  Lighter per unit of length means lower access cost to homes and farm fields.

Roads and canals even chaneleized rivers are guideways as well as high air traffic controlled air  and orbital pathways that intersect.  Avoiding collisions between vehicles and objects requires path and direction separation first and either chanelization or path traffic management.  Dense traffic favors trapped guideways in separated alignments where high speed is safe.

Roads are highly flawed forms of mobility enhancement going back before the Corinth Canal cart tracks that go down underwater before the sea level rise was fully out of the last ice age.  We have been relying on wheels and global sailboat transportation thousands of years before the Clovis culture even existed.  We have learned little in the almost 12,000 year period that looks like critical thought driven planning.  I have read hundreds of thousands of planning articles and not one I remember started from primitive basics asking what direction shall we take questions.

Aircraft dynamic lift and propulsion systems are actually slower as well as less efficient by hundreds of times than the two types of guideway systems proposed here.  These separate but different implementing speed time line global guideway systems are nearly all the transportation solutions advanced people will ever need in the future, short of mass decoupling and the wide variety of interdementional mobility no one is allowed to talk in detailed ways about yet.

The main subject here is in air self lowering vehicle global guideway transportation that is robotic user serving self owned, self built, whole robotic system with an automated public service, goal oriented management program control system, with no central computer of any kind.  Vehicles cooperate together and with the users they serve as individuals.  Regimentation is really efficient cooperation.

The user choice directed adjusted asset management is dispersed out to every vehicle with open internet movement of the closest empty vehicle capacities to where they are needed based on a  just past time adjusted traffic demand calendar and reoccurring event record transferred to every vehicle entering and leaving the overlapping service areas.  Area chambers of commerce, overseen by local users and industries and institutions have the option of asking for event peak load extra capacity.  This all is adjusted minute by minute or hourly as service areas become less dense by local to global user goals.

This is a for everybodies purposes on Earth probably the cheapest mass movement at small individual personalized mobility packet scales .

With ET3 the second form of mostly city to city airlock tube connected global guideway goes directly into space personal mobility and commerce.  For people who can afford a $10,000 to $50,000 ET3 air lock and spur to the basement of their home they might travel to the opposite side of the Earth for a few cents a mile at up to about 17,000 MPH mid trip speeds taking usually a few minutes to go between continental major destinations.

This is all like as a figurative Swiss Army Knife of future necessary logistics.

Imediately on hearing about these ideas even most  very smart people find them unintelligible needing time to absorb them in the absence of a single all function 3D demonstration prototype.  I have been asking for thirty five plus years now for help to build a single simple functioning prototype to demonstrate and test ever higher performance features.  Being turned down by thousands of institutions and companies to which this often would have been a regular budget item has been depressing but never slowed research.  As time has gone on things, I once was alone in describing, have crept into commercial production both improving possibilities and making ideas more familiar to people.  On occasion in the often least likely places these ideas were understood intuitively by others in their pieces but never a whole understanding to exchange details with.

Science as a collective institution is often religion by another name.  Experts of all kinds establish professional territories they often jealously protect from intruders by insults and well documented outright suppression of information.

In the late 1960s to 1970s, the early days of PRT that was the way Ed Anderson was treated as a transportation Heratic and professional out cast.  He struggled mightily to overcome and normalize fully automated transportation a real American tech hero that may never be recognized.

But then as all revolutionaries do Ed drew several lives across the unlimited desert of human knowledge and said vehicles must be on top and slower and use elevated stations of certain types and certain types of running gear.  Short noods were made to a few other possibilities but his revolution stood ground against others going on past him at the same time.

The referees were all absent defending their own versions and all of the conventional systems.  Not one generalist with no firm religious like dogma ever emerged and so real progressed stoped behind improvements of familiar systems that most people might vote for funding.  In the end scientists and engineers were most interested in job continuation for what they believed in the multi denomiational transportation religions.

We all had of nessesity to attend activities in one of their churches whether you used the extensive area Chicago rail or bus transit network that rarely got you where you wanted to or used your car or truck to get stuck in traffic some of the time but go exactly where you wanted to go but often not finding parking downtown.  All of this is 10% of the speed at ten times the cost at many times the personal hassle of the global guideway.  The guideway is the Chicago merchantile miniatuer subway faster than jets going to every house on the planet.

We could have started building the guideway  just before or after the 1850s to 1890s.  We were just beginning to develop the earliest necessary technical knowledge.  We could have figured out how to do this all along, but everybody made other choices.  It always seemed easier to try and improve the other choices we are trapped in today than to set down and ask critical questions about how can we more efficiently do every thing we basicly need to accomplish.

A good half of our present economy is unessasary expense in a guideway fuel burning relieved world.  Actually almost three fourths of everything we do today that seems critical to survival now is useless activities we do not need in a  direct global delivery system guideway world.

Most of the administrative expenses and even the need to constantly use human intuition and artistic expierience is the requirements of road, rail, airport and large displacement ship logistics requirements we have over a century ago figured out how to automate phone and internet data systems but are popularly clueless when it comes to personal and goods mobility.

The guideway makes every home, farm, factory or retailer property it connects with an international soon to be free trade air and sea port.  Oceans are no longer a modal transfer barrier as both land Ventura global guideway systems cross oceans as cheaply as communications cables and satellite systems do in shallow floating tethered miniature tubes that will form a dense mostly straight line set of cross crossing ocean high speed highways.

The global guideway moves medical and other professionals world wide to distribute multi home professional service occupancies for temporary unlimited yearly travel range employments where they are needed or wher e lesser expensive providers can be global migrant workers for all skills.  This is not daily commuting till you have access to ET3 to the far side of the planet but it is going for a week or a month to work anywhere.  Lodging costs for temporary living come down as housing costs come down.

Vacations become little more expensive everywhere than living at home.  Household costs similarly drop everywhere and standards of personal cleanliness, food and individual health sanitation and comfort become global Not regional standards.

Nowhere do people given a choice chose to live in poverty conditions even though a few out of habit make poor choices not knowing of the joys of better choices.  Personal hygiene and comforts are personal choices controlled by opportunities.  Given the lower cost opportunities everybody tends to make better choices.

Basalt fiber kaolin prepreg with magnesium oxide cement foams and silica fume flyash and metakolin composites and basalt castings create lower cost lighter weight fire proof products that are more rugged but much lower in cost than carbon fiber, fiberglass, plastics, wood, steel and aluminum.  All this is recyclable using softer cheaper tooling.  Fire, heat, oxidation, gama radiation, UV, corrosives, electrical shorts do not deteriorate the new material systems that are electrical insulators and normally magneticaly neutral.  light weigh single direction laid up and extruded hot material fast setting prepreg foamed core composites can be formed into small part to large structures using additive 3D and very fast extruded panel construction.  Special lay up forms are required to replace the omnidirectional features of metals and plastics.  Higher density achieved with vacuumed bagging of epoxy and acrylic composites may give way to vacuumed and high frequency vibration and screed forming.  Build a million ton mobile ship size structure in a day or two.  A single mobile machine center can produce more houses in one day than most modular housing factories produce in one year at less than a tenth the cost of finished occupied floor area.

Proposed are new forms of literally mobile towns and major cities that move with precessional seasons or even slow planetary rotations.  A trackless Snow Piercer.  This is like land seasteading on Earth but not desecrating the lands across which the mobile occupancies move.  See the bidirectional track descriptions further on.  All new from old ideas combined.

The global guideway is developed around redesigned out runner wheel motor generators that are today mass produced by the many millions, mostly in China for model airplanes, electric motorcycles and bicycle, gear box free, direct drive wheel motors.  These can be made to last longer than all the other vehicle parts, limited by mostly bearing life.  This guideway vehicle use adds fluid cooling and on individual coil commutation and voltage speed and direction control onto every motor coil directly integrated with separate cooling control and partial coil count and variable tap coil turn shorting to create motors that can not fail all at once and operate at as high of possible efficiencies at low power and speeds as efficiently as they do at three Gs at jet aircraft speeds.

The bearings in a jet engine and turbines are under similar forces but have aero dynamic and thermal loads to contend with as well, yet we do not question that they reliably function.  Controlling magnet fragmentation and hoop stresses are the only design hurtle where only simple parts rotate with all the complexities being mostly stationary and solid state.  Easing flux path hysteresis heating needs new thinking.

When I fly I am conscious of the immense forces going on inside the engines and airframe stresses involved from wings encountering turbulence, even landing gear loads but I know want the design reliability factors and data shows so worry little about probable outcomes.  I even mentally contemplate the high stresses of my diesel car when I step hard on the acelerator peddle.  It works reliably for thousands of hours for known reasons.

To this is simply add to the guideway running gear magnetic unloading of bearings to variably resist constantly changing gravity support and acceleration levels.  This increases the miles traveled and the net tons carried per vehicle dollar invested by hundreds of times over existing railway and commercial aviation possibilities.  Reducing dynamic friction makes unthinkable speeds practical every day for every one between all properties on Earth and non stop into space.

Lower air resistance by again hundreds of times and lower linear distributed loads by about a tenth over common roadway use and a fortieth over railway and hundreds over commercial aircraft load concentrations lowers the cost of suspended mass produced monorail construction compared to hand designed and built roadways, railways and airports.

concrete structures for well known reasons are polluting structures.

Investor overheads and human administration are possibly two thirds of the cost of most products we use.  This fully automated most supporting guideway economy overhead makes it a global self supplying weak fare for everybody vending machine.

Fully automating everything by starting with systems designed from the ground up made for full automation eliminates the rest of any need for human labor cost that is at least three fourths to minally two thirds of the cost of everything you buy or use.  This is a all new one simple proven component design, improved forever more sustainable economy.

This can all simply be made the exact best technical solution that supports universally prosperous, environmentally forever neutral, permante massive industrial population, human survivability.

Think of the all purpose anywhere access jet airaft speed vehicles as physical movement smart phones operating on a internet-cell tower-fiber optics for people and things globalconnected network system.

The guideway becomes a replacement for banks, government currencies, insurance companies and financial market place activities at not only a lower overhead to value expediting but a self adjusting system that advises every person and business in optimizing their goals, through the every user created and always being optimized phone based personal assistant.

A new system of global data collection through guideway transaction monitoring of gross figures becomes the new global economy trusted record and indicator of investment or service needs.  There would no longer be a human and institutional self interest filter.

By the way, a mass produced Thorium molten salt, self chemically reprocessing reactor turbogenerator design is the cheapest safest power to replace coal, natural gas, steam and gas turbine generators , even cheaper than hydro, wind and PV.  This eliminates expensive solid fuel uranium and plutonium based nuclear fuel burning sources.

This form of well described nuclear power is needed untill about eight million ultra deep geothermal 6 foot plus diameter average nine mile deep shafts can be three pie slice core bored to get humanity off of all future fuel burning and radioactive power.  The fully automated deep boring machines costing about $500,000 each in mass production drill one new nine mile shaft every three to four months at a cost of about 1,000 KW of guideway delivered electricity during that time period and maybe $100,000 in tooling and machine wear.  Flame slot cutting is the process.  All parts are high rate mass produced net shape, no machining.

This is the hundreds of thousands of production engineering design detail possibilities with physics based process principles for a totally interconnected, government free, global infrastructure.

This simply becomes a economic, social and mechanistic based human economy make over.  This total environmentally neutral, robotic industry, public trust, user controlled, rebuilding of the global guideway based economy will require about three decades to reach every developed street and primitive isolated village on the planet.  Few people will ever look back and think we had it better then.  You will not be stoped from racing or cruising around in you classic cars or motorcycles.  Newer adventures wait with side moving monotrack ground vehicles that go on land and water at higher speeds with soft riding over rough surfaces and onboard solar charging.  They will look different Thant anything ever built before.  You could live in these facilities independent, travel the world like go every where sail boat motor homes.  Similar designs become deep free space to most small spin gravity live independent habitats.

This proposal leads directly at the same time to a hard guideway connection to orbital launch and recovery ring technologies.  This has gotten only a nod from Isaac Arthur, but might make space travel no more difficult than travel on Earth, as simple and a little less expensive than present air freight and passenger movement.  No rocket thermal sciences needed ever again.  No flying saucers either.  This is as simple as electric railways built to orbit.  Electric direct drive up and regenerative deceleration down.  Thank you Daryl Oster.

This design specific global guideway proposal is to simply totally bypass the present fuel burning, massive concrete infrastructure, multi staged product delivery, national currency based global economy.  We simply build undisturbing over the top and beside the existing economy features the adjacent property owners integrate in or switch over as people desire.

Would not you desire to live like a millionaire on a below poverty line income?  This opens up a quadrupling of land not presently easily developed for farming and living without disturbing wild habitats that road vehicle systems desecrate.

The guideway homes and industries are buildings separated by all overhead connections.  Nature would exist in the hearts of major cities undisturbed.  As people and goods move globally same day locally more quietly, everywhere fast and cheaper than slow ships, people no longer need to clump so close together.  Forests with wild grazing animals would be open range everywhere between structures.

These radically more efficient systems are proposed to replace our mid-evil like culture directed economic systems.  Game of Thrones is today.  We are all really stupid for tolerating it as it triples our personal cost of living in man hours to results.  If you are not enjoying the activities or benifiting directly from the game why support playing politics?  The present American gone everywhere systems shortens peoples lives by about twenty five to thirty years in the low income classes over statistically compared wealthier classes.

We have presently adapted our technologies to serve primitive leader based tribal city state like societies.  Most people are trapped in having no alternatives but to stake out a profession, a business, a job, a home for personal status and income.

We can not sell a product people are not use to seeing and buying.  People, nearly all of us, usually me included are mentally and physically interdependent copycats.

Unsustainable world wide distributed technologies have no place in a modern high population industrial mass production world.  But no moral person or institution is in charge.  Moral accomplishment is inverted to mean gaining wealth, influence and selling a lot.  It does not matter what the product or service is, more is seen as better.m, not benifits to cost never doing residual harm.

This new technical age is where fully automated robotic machine systems can cheaply under user control, directly assist everybody to indidvidually and collectively improve the benifits of their lives for themselves and each other.  Robotic intelligent decision making systems are seen by most deciders only as cheaper replacements for labor in selling more unsustainable products at more competitive lower costs.  Dispose of the labor factor and population underbelly is seen as goods by leaders in charge.  Only temporarily are the masses seen as allies for the wealthy and power hungry.

Who is to know what is right when laws themselves only imprision and suppress poorer thieves, drug users and murders in jail while rich and powerful ones nearly always get away at worst with a fine they can afford, to usually die comfortable and clueless.

This proposal by example replaces archaic laws and religions with their support of hierarchical megalomaniac value chains.  It is a technical moral machine design code sorting out goodness design factors from badness design factors.  The present primitive cultural systems can be replaced with long recognized universal principles of best social behavior.  This is a new machine behavior beyond I Robot principles.  First finding and elevating universal principles not delt with today.  A new constitution or ignored UN charter for all times and situations is needed.  The robotic systems are there to serve the principles as directed by the users who are a cross section of humanity everywhere in the universe.  Ideals are needed that most people can agree on for decision guidance.

Who is judging?  Popular opinion seems unconcerned buying whatever product is needed or desired, never asking judgmental questions.  If there was a objective set of economic decision choices with principles over every purchase decisions then taught from childhood a moral 100 rules of accusation might be created.

The guideway would probably replace half or more of our present global value chains.  Without immediate alternatives we are presently being lead to economic collapse and starvation.  Who wants to eat a vegetarian only simple diet.  Not I either .  So how do we solve all the problems all at once for large happy populations.

The superior moral value of the Maroons and Incas and happy live and let live amoral cultures of some untouched Pacific Islanders or aborigines are captured here in a highly technical principled robotic assisted economy without the defects tolerated in past industrial cultures.  But even the best so far had moments of thoughtless traditional Genocides.

A machine system that itself is environmentally neutral produces more with less creating excesses that can be everywhere locally converted into substitutes for deteriorating luxuries.  In the first four decades of guideway development not every house will be able to afford an atrium indoor swimming pool but after about the fourth or fifth decade this might be considered while the seemingly again virgin forests have been restored every where and ocean life levels are returning to levels of a hundred years ago.

The new systems will take getting use to.  Twenty years ago I got to go to a party in a normal looking newer house.  The owners had installed a Hollywood fancy floor level fountain in the center of a large well lit entry hall.  A older guest at the party walked straight across the entryway looking ahead at people in the next room right into this fountain. Fortunately it was a shallow drop but resulted in a total baptism in innovative architecture.  This is the problem we have.  We only indifferently see what we expect and want to see and are use to.

The new robotic human serving systems have to watch out for our lack of diligent care at points we interface with them.  As their speed in helping us increases we need to best have seperate areas of occupancy as even robots are known to run over aimlessly wondering people as they too are not perfect all of the time.

On average every year about five to seven tourists walk off still unprotected cliff ledges at the Grand Canyon.  It is a mystery in the age of very specific building codes no forty mile  height and grid spacing railing was erected to have saved the lives of 400 people.

Neither did anyone think it nessasary to make mandatory external streamline inflated nose and tails and side bumper surrounds on road vehicles.  This recoverable impact relief in collisions would have not only cut fuel consumption in half but would have prevented the deaths of about forty million people world wide In the age of Ford and Sloan.  As two widely spread 1927 and 1936 as I remember the dates, SAE technical journal articles concluded the authors did not like the styling of the more efficient streamline wind tunnel test models.  Not one single streamlined pedestrian or car crash deflecting vehicle design ever made it through to mass production.  Not one reasonable consumer would probably say that style was more important than forty years average life lost by each of about about forty million humans.  What are your values?

By producing a unlimited supply of everything that does not deplete in anyway knowable the environment or for many tens of thousands of years or deplete reasonable cost resources then you create an end to global scarcity, local drout or soil depletion crop failures all disappear.  In a guideway world we can live comfortably and plant crops in barren Arctic lands.  The global guideway gives the world tens of thousands of years to solve all remaining constant state survival problems.

What new legal system will pass judgement on power hungry dictators or boards of directors or religious or revolutionary leaders telling them you have no right to build nuclear weapons, enguage in uncivil activities or create chemicals that have wide spread environmental deteriorating effects.  There has never existed a global moral authority since powerful interests would destroy the moral decider or handicap that institution in the name of national or capitalist or religious moral freedom.  Principles that are a historically morally convoluted become selectively non principles.  To suppress or destroy information should be a major all time crime because without free knowledge not self expressed opinions causes major losses.  In the absence of bright intellectual lighting in open spaces seen by anyone crimes can be commited.  Even then clever illusion magic tricks fool the brightest of people every day.  I am amazed at the cleverness of magic that is highly organized lieing like politics and religion.

 When I was a kid growing up in the 1940s and 50s everything was under manual control, accept for fully automated local telephone switching. Only about half of building elevators were yet push button user controlled.  Some phone calls still required operator assistance and a person stood at a lever speed and direction elevator car control that was too sensitive to allow average users to learn to manage it.  It took skill for the operator to align the elevator car with the floor.  Both automatic and operator elevator trips required you to watch your step as alignment was not perfect.  Like driving a car elevator driving takes practice.  The first push button cam floor alignment was introduced in the 1920s  but it cost more than labor costs in any short period of recovery so older and new elevators continued on with what was before thought nessasary.

The most refined engineering thought processes require a consensus of perceived normalcy to change directions.  Some new ideas are opposed in science, industries and engineering for decades because it challenges the certain unquestioning knowledge and authority of people who mostly never question what they are certain of, what they base their lives around.  Science and engineering are social activities as well as technical.

By the 1960s things we’re moving ever faster towards automation, right up to this time where fully automated ground vehicles, then out of hobby stores self guiding but human controlled quad copters are seen as human carrying safe taxis.  These are mixing in frequent public road and air traffic tests of tens of millions of miles traveled even overhead of where people live.

The first fully self routing vehicles demonstrated with PRT vehicles forty years ago are now thanks to DARPA going across unfamiliar wild terrain and making independent activity decisions.  Boston Dynamics has robots performing like Olympic athletes soon to exceed the best human performances.  GM started proposing fully automated hundred MPH highways of the future in about 1936.  This was always green washing the cars image ignoring the now 1.3 million people killed by cars, trucks, buses and railways every year.  13 million a reciently deacade up from 800,000 thirty years ago but soon to cross the two million killed every year mark despite great proportional safety gains.  More are driving and more miles are traveled for each person every year.

Proposed here with the global guideway are 1890s technologies not year 2100 possibilities.  This is simplifying robotic systems choice tasks, but enhancing to ultimate long possible levels the vehicle systems speed and global economy ton mile performances.  Simpler is inherently cheaper, more convienient, safer and longer in accident free vehicle service lives and longer human lives as well.

This is comparatively thousands of years ahead of where we are heading today.  This global guideway proposal is totally unlike any other combination of proposed roads based, leader centric economy outcomes that I can find.

Does any diversly educated person believe we need to continue to ride around on bumpy sometimes slippery streets, highways and irregular surface rural roads, amongst unpredictable people walking and on bicycles amongst mixes of irregularly equipped fully automated cars and trucks.  The roads based choice will always force us live amongst dangers and expensive slow movement congestion, accidents and stoppage of commerce from periodic natural and human made storms and disasters.

The guideways and associated systems  will eventually be able to survive astronomical cataclysums in many ways.  What made the dinosaurs and large mammals extinct does not have to effect human guideway economy survivability.  For example did you know that about 11,900 years ago a half mile wide comet smacked apparently into north west Greenland and hit three other places in the US after breaking apart and set most of North and South America on fire.  This burned almost everything up accept isolated mountain valleys where life survived and redeveloped at the end of our last ice age.  A thousand year long global cooling oeriod slowed progression out of the ice age that gave us the beauties and field of Canada and Niagra falls.

Only really stupid or bad humans we often call leaders can end human Earth open occupation.  The planet has sustained life possibly with occasional assistance for hundreds of millions of years.

Now we are all responsible because our present human economy choices are like a very slow motion cataclysmic astroid impact, the results of which are constantly being recalculated as it progresses in real time.  We are ever more about to release this impact on ourselves.  Animals are dieing off and being used for food at critical levels in the food chains.  Chemicals are killing habitats to defend against farm pests and make more fertil depleted souls after only a century of being farmed.  Forests are being cut down and land levels for single crop a year fields.  Water evaporation is unchecked as well as soil erosion mostvplaces.  Symbiotic animal plant relation ships makes deserts out of formerly lush areas.  Restorations show this is not nessasry but only a under one percent ever get rehabilitated.  The data is accumulating and real.

Above the yards, fields and buildings every where PRT guideways can move non stop at 200 to over 650 MPH.  The hazards up on the self lowering vehicle access guideway are non existent, despite the close proximity high speed.  Only small branches usually protrude into guideway air spaces.  Birds can be kept away by several means but not kept from crossing over or under most of the time.

Pollution and critical resource consumption become nonexistent problems.  We move over about 50,000 years of a global guideway integrated economy from ultra deep geothermal electricity to local thorium salt reactor electricity, to,a hundred thousand years from now needing zero point and fusion electricity.  This is not predicting a certainty as new processes may change the best economics but environmental stewardship does not change in creating limiting standards that are well described but rarely followed today by leaders.  Leaders have one goal always, they lead to benifit themselves and their supporters and positions.  Populists are always looking in their rear view mirrors to sociopathicly make sure of what tricks they need to keep loyal followers enchanted.

The total common collective income of American productive workers is about $8 trillion considering part time workers and unemployed people making poverty level incomes.  This is for people making less than $300,000 a year.  This includes government workers as well.

Humanistic govornment services are a legitament part of economies where they are more efficient or serve better than chaotic and irregularly affordable private services.  Adam Smith was neutral on these points.  The cost of the US economy is two to three times in excess of this personal benifits level.  We pay for space navy fleets and monuments to large construction and defense manufacturers.

The guideway economy replacement for personal living cost would be possibly half to a third reduction in total personal average economic savings.

When the guideway arrives at each property it is the greatest expediter of human freedom ever conceived of.  With it comes eventually nearly free transportation and unlimited non polluting non resource depleting electricity for at least 50,000 years.  When arriving at a town the guideway brings lower cost product delivery, the world’s first truely permanently sustainable super low cost self sustaining housing passed on for use to people a thousand years from now.  The guideway brings daily thousand mile personal commute ranges for less than the daily cost of owning cars and pick ups.  Global means just that, get on a immediately arriving guideway vehicle inside or beside your house and travel, to any other house or business or rural site on the planet without a reservation or prepayment.  Change your mind in route easier than you drive your own car only at 950 feet per second without any range limitation at two cents a mile in longer trains you can in most minutes leave or join up with train traffic in motion like gettin into urban expressway traffic as needed.  Only thIf you don’t mind waiting to pick up and drop off passengers in route they split their cost shares with you,  each riding in externally accessed private compartments.

Energy, water, housing, food security and the guideway vehicles and structures a ability to monitor neighborhood activities better than police means a separation from any practical need for govornments.  Guideway courts, banking, investment services, health care, fire and all emergency services operate from the vehicles not fixed facilities.  The guideway is a global personal freedom mechanism indifferently serving every person on Earth and automatically being programmed to improve environments.

people can move new forms of inflated homes like tents with all modern featuers living where ever they can amongst trees off the ground since the guideway is off the ground.  A guideway world population could safely survive amongst large dinosaur populations.  You imagine it the guideway servies it within motor operating limits.

Robotic systems managed by all users together become a substitute for most government services and institutions.  Best of examples robot Judge Judy’s make best of all time decisions not influenced by personal leanings.  Biases and legal loopholes are well documented in legal decisions.  Political stupidities should never be tolerated.  Why let insane people with personal flaws guide millions to hardship.  Electronic democracy for every situation is ideal political science in outcomes.  Proposed is unriggable fully transparent collective decision making designs and principles.

First lowering the cost of every structuer guideway access over the existing roads and buried utilities based economies requires a combination of ultra high speed at the lowest vehicle energy cost with lthe longest distributed cheapest per installed mile overhead structural loads.

A span or pier placement or replacement time of under two minutes allows over two miles a day of advancing installation through most urban areas to about 15 miles of guideway each day across rural ground.  This is using one set of all overhead, no ground level transportation assembly and installation machinery as detailed further on.  Tree trimming and new tree adjacent planting are all overhead operations as well as transferring and splicing wires to guideway support above, below or through the spans.  Not damaging or delaying commerce or properties during zero disruption construction is described.

All guideways can be pulled up and quickly placed on different nearby alignments.  All services accept fiber optics can be immediately useable to the last span aligned and locked in possition.  Same day housing subdivisions are possible raw ground to occupyable homes and apartment buildings with landscaping improvement mostly in place by the second Earth day.  Property owners guide and modify inprogress decisions like moving furniture around your living room.  These are design component details not hypothetical dream systems.

Lowering windage monorail beam transparency allows guideway survival in tornados, forest fires floods and near by nuclear detonations.  After such disasters the guideways fire proof wind transparent construction remains provisionally operable with local power supplies and unlimited guideway vehicle supplied water on.  Self resetting zener cuircuit breakers are required.  Recognition of disaster imanacy and vehicle survival or shelter seeking needs to be automatic.

The total excess overhead economy expense is unessasary for comfortable fulfilling human survival or a net waste.  The economy share resulting in environmental damage or unreplaceable resource depleation is in effect a criminal like net loss to future generations.  The global guideway is an attemp to replace this loss with a neutral future impact engineered system.

Advanced and historical research towards universal knowledge or enlightenment is a tiny share of the total global economy and needs a more efficient support base.  More organized workers in fields of enlightenment can benifit from a reduction in every person’s time or labor expended cost of living resulting from massive improvement in the labor to results cost of living.

Finance industry overhead cost is proposed to be eliminated with a new form of global robotic self managed adjusted reserve currency and automated banking and lending system, based on the functional utility assets of the global guideway and universal non fuel burning dependent energy system.  The guideway is a servent of all personal and business endeavors.  Counciling to help people better plan better choices has to consider all the different goals we each might set.

The global guideway assumes no needs for most institutional or investor costs above achieving a lower cost secure, comfortable, enjoyable lifestyle that is permantly environmentally neutrally sustainable.

View all activities as production processes you would like to make more efficient.  Defending existing institutions or jobs or personal life styles is in this approach irrelevant.  Everybodies existing house and activities are defended but given the options of guideway inplemented life style cost reduction.

The security of new mostly automated health maintainence, improved diets, creature climate comforts and constant nearly unlimited mobility and personal media experiences, global communications, expressions, shared decision making and life time non stop educational improvements are designed into the dispersed guideway self installation system.  This is proposing a universal or all purpose robotic global logistics system.

You as everybody I meet and tell about this has been often asked to discuss, help, advise, criticize, edit, add to, prototype and produce.

Today finite task artifical intelligence and automation are applied to reduce human labor costs for the simplest to most complex of jobs.  Two hundred years ago fully automated looms wove very complex patterns into cloth and lace, music boxes were being built to play different tunes guided by changing drums and punch card belts or stacks.

Fisher Body built the first modern fully automated automobile frame production line replacing thousands of people with a hundred people in about 1927.

Back 50 years ago the first fully automated rail transit systems became the equivalent of high speed closely spaced horizontal elevators carrying hundreds of people every minute in Philadephia to to suburb towns on commuter trains.  Forty years ago the first PRT individual small guideway taxis were sucsessfully tested, able to replace cars, only we had to build all new overhead suspended monorails that could have been a third or less the cost of street grids.  No one figured out how to do this untill this global guideway proposal of about thirty five years ago.  Doug Malewicki’s Skytran of 1990 came close accept for three fatal design criteria flaws.

The guideway personal rapid transit or PRT vehicles up to today were being designed then to be slower than autos.  My diesel cars can go over 130 MPH yet gets 40 MPH at  80 MPH.  How stupid this was going slow as the guideway had no cross traffic and never runs into deer or rarely even hard strikes a bird.  If a guideway electric vehicle of .02 Cd streamlining at under 18 square feet of frontal area at steel on steel guidewheel not flanged wheel entrapped monorail open truss beam design were to have a 100 KW motor it could maintain 300 or more MPH on the electric energy cost of my 40 MPH diesel car.

The overhead guideway vehicles travel in their own safe pathway.  They can climb steep hills using a micro gear tooth wheel drive a motor cycle can’t and cut across geological and property features on straighter lines and suspended lean into tight curves steeper than racing motorcycles and not slide off pavement in Ice storms and flooding.

conventional door to door world wide speed limits and cost per unit mile disappear with common trip entrainment of such vehicles.  Only ET3 or mass decoupling is faster and maybe cheaper over time.

The guideway vehicles have always been able to be really fast and really small in frontal area and efficient, at over three hundred times more cost efficient than automobiles.  Under a penny a mile at 200 MPH with one person on board in the smallest recliner couch versions in gap free trains with the most pointed nose and tail design.  They are just over three times faster than this if well designed, 100 MPH faster than jet airliners travel today if the guideway spans automaticly constantly adjust their alignment for changing geophysical conditions.

A ton to three tons of freight can be carried in every passenger carrying, slender global guideway, vehicle.  Every vehicle needs to be self lowering anywhere, any condition ground or floor level inside  access can fully automaticly self load, moves nonstop any where in the world on eventually thirty million miles of new infrastructure that can be built for less than about eleven years of present infrastructure global road and airport spending.   If you add operating cost savings as well the guideways can pay for themselves in 5 to 7 years  compared to today’s transportation mix.  After that prices for mobility drop to a tenth  much less the cost of today’s mobility.

Take away administrative costs and rollover most investment overhead by higher cost to benefit performance and this might take about 7 years.

We still have to use the guideways to place all new ultra deep core removed assemder shaft mechanism ultra deep geothermal power assemblies every twenty miles or so to pier the guideways and everything else for in most places hundreds of thousands of years into a highly technical human future, not anything like to strained primitive economy I grew up with in the US.

The guideway vehicles travel on usually about a twenty five feet or more above ground level suspended monorail guideway street system costing a third of city streets to install.  When the guideway arrives through your back yard or over your roof top loading, cheaper than curb side in front, it brings with it electricity cheaper than your local power companies wires by maybe a fourth, cheaper than natural gas or coal heat.

The guideway can bring deliveries between property doors non stop same day or minutes world wide for the first time in human history.  A factory on another continent, half the world away loads up a vender PRT pod that also can carry passengers on arrival and it serially delivers on demand a ton or 200 to 300 cubic feet of goods over the next day, then picks up two tons of water, delivers that then picks up the kids takes them to school at 200 MPH then takes you to work then takes on a dirty content container to serially pick up plastic and cardboard recycle ground wastes that it takes back to the factory half a world , two days and twenty thousand miles traveled latter.  It then repeats this for years between overhauls and a century or more between vehicle replacements.  All of this is for reasons not one existing vehicle in human history can come close to matching.  Yet there is zero interest in trying this as a prototype.  Why?

All the parts can be assembled in a race car or boat shop operation.  The designs have million of variable arrangements to prototype and test.

Automatic telephone switching and elevator operators were simple tasks that were automated a hundred years ago.  Steam locomotives quit running everywhere excerpt at one factory.  They required four times the railroad employees as dieseals.  By the time I was ten years old they went from being seen everywhere to the last ones being cut up for scrap.  Accept for ones put on display.  The last elevator operators and full time maintainence and management staff were disappearing in the early 1950s when I was a kid.

We are thirty years into the first self driving cars with production vehicles operating for about fifteen years in ever more risky freeway situations.  Automated production lines and cash registers are looking like the future of most work.

The automation reduces costs by using it to eliminate the higher cost of labor to simplify tasks and increase efficiencies because of great increases in speed.  Profit margins may improve where competition is limited but jobs decrease.

While reducing operating and product costs poorer people might benefit from cost reductions and life style improvement but ever more no longer have incomes.  More people work to support families.  At the same time conservatives and racists often the same person want to cut all social safety nets claiming them as unessasary economy inefficiencies.

fast hand to mouth desperate spending of poorer classes we cal the middle class and below not savings and investments drives economic growth.  Investment market transfers only drive wealth accumulation and losses in market casinos.

It has been pointed out on occasion that by creating money management full automation with a standard global currency and consumer benifits goal not producer benifits that monetary value can be stabkeized in a forever more growth global economy.  Free markets work well so long as they serve benifits and freedoms of consumers first, producers secondary.

Always the limits of growth are the natural environments best functioning and unlimited availablity of least expensive materials and energy to product utility output ratio.

How will three Fourths of the world's presently still primitive populations continue to survive?  That is the idea we need to think about.  They won’t.  Leaving the world‘s to the more capable predator or capitalist investor classes and their families and controlled  will get more occasional naldistributed famine, wars and depression cycles.

If we only automate expensive inefficient systems to eliminate labor costs then poor people will have fewer jobs and richer people will have only slightly cheaper mobility and products.  The wealth gap widens.  But the wealthiest still live primitive lives in still primitive fuel burning industrial economies that remain inefficient in every way.

There is a 30,000 word deficit between the vocabularies of poorest to wealthiest populations.  Exposure may be more important than native intelligence.  Family curiosity and expieriences may predominate over genetics.  People from primitive villages migrate to become mechanics of complex machines and computers.  Country dogs learn city tricks fast.

A guideway robotic mobility expierience based parent shared education system is proposed replacing classroom educations and teachers with features of more successful distance or remote education programs.  Educations costs drop to a tenth through most collage programs.  Only the students learn real-time on jobs a return of staged internships or apprentice programs where learning is faster and sticks in minds better.  Everyone now carries a automated personal assistant cell phone teacher and life choice advisor with them.  This can mean the virtual end of crime.

Every guideway brings with it massive fiber optic networks built in to the system and local every few miles steady state geothermal electricity, liacally supplied for tens of thousands to millions of years after each $500.000 eel goes in place nine miles down.  This is about how the bore these large diameter shafts cheaper than any system today.  For two decades now not one person has been interested in getting into this new equipment business.  Why?

The global guideway is a fully automatic replacement for all existing transportation and energy use.  The guideway simply can only be accomplished with a global PRT guideway powered mostly or only by ultra deep geothermal electricity generation as a hundred thousand year sustainable power supply.  This gives us time to create more complex forms of environmentally sustainable low cost energy.

The simple message should be apparent to any intelligent person alive today.  Most decison makers are well aware of the parts of this but unable to put even small idea combinations togeather because it conflicts with everything they are use to participating in.  Embracing survivability of our planet and everything living on it we enjoy requires we give up every thing we think we enjoy today replaced by more productive, more enjoyable economic forms.  The old systems are simply replaced by new things that are better, more enjoyable but totally unfamiliar.  How do you think a Lincolnite of the 1870s would view Lincoln today?  This can be the rate of change in the next two decades.  Are you ready or are you the problem resisteing foot dragger?

This is like the many smokers I have known who finally realize smoking harms them and will kill them years earlier than with out it, but can’t bring themselves to quit.  They do not have a death wish, they only have a difficult choice conflict. 

Simply we can not do what we industrially do today and collectively live long on Earth.  If we do not change our choices, we will bring down or virtually kill the whole planet and all the innocent non polluters with our profit and power fuel burning addictions.  Like alcoholic‘s denial we collectively refuse to look at facts.

We certainly are not willingly going back to walking and living in unsanitary cold huts and eating crude diets, working 80 hour manual labor work weeks to just get by.

Simply this guideway design proposal is how we can continue to live better lives with at every door of every poor person, globally connected, faster than jets, cheaper than coal thermal, all electric economy, global guideway.

Simply put the use of road, rail, motorized displacement ships, and all forms of fast long range dynamicly supported air vehicles, plus poluting dependence on metal and plastics for structures and vehicle bodies and the use of chemicals in agriculture are unsustainable in all ways.

I’ll bet you thought nothing important gets made without being mostly wood, metal or plastics.  You have a lot to learn about sustainability.  In moderation all materials are OK to use, just not in the massive amounts we manufacture them presently.  Proposed is the use of new basalt fiber organic cement and ceramic composites that more cheaply replace plastics and metals, are crash resistant and bullet proof at a lighter weight, are low in thermal expansion, might last for hundreds to thousands of years outside without deteriorating,  can Be crushed, chopped and recycled, make buildings so fast they go up in a coupe of hours on a new site at a tenth the cost of craftsman built construction ready to occupy and are moveable without leaving foundations to other sites or positions on the same site if needed.  Basalt composit is fire proof in a hill side forest fire,  hold in heat like a thermos bottle using active evacuated SIPs panel construction are, fully electrically insulated, nonmagnetic, pass radio waves.  What more do you want?  Not one person in twenty plus years has been interested.

Simply put today’s industrial economy practices all need replacing with new forever sustainable systems and people made healthier with known lifestyle changes that rely less on remediation for bad choices made from child

At any time we need to build a test track.

For the cost of a Super Bowl ad we can build a jet speed miniature guideway test vehicle and demonstration track.  This can change human commerce away from fuel burning and expensive product delivery overhead systems.

The emergence of robotic production systems as well as guideway delivery since the early 1800s could have changed hunan industry and eliminated any need for the fuel burning era.  No demonstration ever occurred but the details were occasionally observed demonstrated imperfectly and ignored by all.

A test track needs to demonstrate all uses in the same vehicles.  The only two types of user service specialties vehicles are higher air drag squared off light product density cube vehicles made to reach right of way clearance limits and dirty dry and we carriers that pick up rubble dirt and dewatered concentrated wastes for recycle.  Every thing gets recycled or it never should be produced.

sewage is decided into animal and human wastes includin urine that may be separated if possible that have already been at site composted or digested if possible as a more valuable commodity and water laden with chemicals and soaps that may be categorized in larger single site batches.  Proposed is a new type of universal body that also moves dirt and rubble.  At site separation of metal and site chipped up waste wood with metal hardware separated is required.  Presently human demolition precludes such processing because of labor costs.  Proposed is using standard guideway tool carriers delivered to each demo site as needed to carry out human supervised selective reconstruction demolition or site clearing and return to nature.

the world may may have undergone such cleanings in the past but I have seem no certain evidence of this other than the absence of domestic artifacts at some megalithic sites.

Robotic global guideway development could directed by all users buy out its self ownership in a decade or so and become a for all the future as non profit global all purpose charity for everyone’s benifit.  Humans do not quit working as there will always be things the robots can not do well or at all.  This is contrary to science fiction presentations.  The Turning test is a simplistic example of the differences.

Optimising what robots do well and tasks robots could do but humans humans enjoy doing themselves is required.  Keeping humans life time on tasks can be a job for personal assistant planners that need to become flexible metal shared organizers and new projects suggested than note book like verbal presentation honey-do lists.

Every guideway vehicle can become blue ray style an extension of the personal concierge assistant.  shareing organizational tasks.  While access to the internet needs to be individually selective all outside advertising inputs need to become criminally as illegal as breaking and entry theaft.  Similarly collection of geopolitical data bases like Googles and face book minimization system should get long jail sentences for developers and destruction of their server assets.

new forms of jails like free range colonies with heavy internal supervision needs to be looked at.  Examples are the Secret Agent series and some expiermental small town open prisons.  Tunneling and drone escapes have many solutions that do not require guard staffs and automated personal assistants like ankle bravelet monitoring can become full time interactive therapy.  Maybe the worst of the Manchuria Candidate senerios but can be humanistic instead.  How do you have compassion for wayward humans like me.  You need to forgive and help us get better.  Pre crime control might be easier with personal assistance influences as in two recient movies.

All of these things akready ecust in parts.  They all could be sinaltainiously prototyped and tested at the same time ready for final product integration.  This can be a Iphone integration app model for the global guideway economy.  Think about a traveling guideway fair going from city to city with guideway speed rides that also demonstrate all of these other possibilities.  Charge an entry fee to see the future like the 39 NY workd’s Fair only this goes everywhere in all languages and becomes a beta test for systems human integration a guideway chataqua, or how ever you spell that.

PRT systems are well describe by service intent but all poor in user benefit designed performance

Simplicity of descriptions leaves holes in the presentation.  The fact that not one high speed PRT system has ever been demonstrated is a black mark against human adaptive intelligence.  It is also a black mark against popular acceptance of the idea.

Any one of hundreds of thousands of world speed record salt flats cars, top dragsters, Euro road race, Canam or Indi cuircuit cars or drag boat developmental efforts requireing a build from scratch engine up development could have developed a 400 MPH PRT vehicle by the 1930s defintely 1950s.  This is a captured guidance vehicle where instability and crashing from over turning or spinning disappears.  How simple can it get?  You just need high speed motors.  Two 1890s examples were going 300 MPH at the rims.  By 1900 steam turbines were edging the speed of sound.  All you need to do is trap spinning coils or magnets as the rotating field inside a steel wire wound wheel able to break the sound barrier by two times using today’s materials.  This is simpler than rockets and high speed racing piston engines and aircraft wing support.  Rolling element bearings even micro polished plain turbine bearings were able to handle the loads and RPMs.  Let’s do it.  This is fast go cart or motorcycle simple.  The rest of the design problems?  Just fill in the details.

A fully equipped shop with five to ten independent fabricator developers could demo in a year.

This could be done any place in the world that has built any type of unique vehicle systems, possibly fifty country global guideway point of origination candidates exist.  Several have tried but failed the ultimate universal applications innovation test.

The US, Germany, France, Japan, England, Mexico, South Africa, Yugoslavia, Poland, Beloruse, and Sweeden maybe the best so far and others have started PRT projects but no global guideway proposal ever emerged.  No really fast vehicles were ever tested and only one New Jersey developer ever proposed self lowering access.  This is simple stuff.  Why do we not seem to be able to do this or even we’ll define it sorting out the cost over run factors and design for highest speed at lowest trip and property access cost.  Is this some how too complicated for wired in human thought processes.  Complex air defense and satellite systems were doable, why not the global guideway?

The details are comparisons between the best possible, road rail, air, space and ship systems.

This is faster than roads because ever can because of the difficulty of leveling road surfaces to accommodate drainage and a dead level non undulating surface.  We need to use brittle cheap abrogate based materials that out weigh the vehicles they carry but thousands to one.  The guideways are much higher strength material four feet in section height instead of eight inches to a foot.  The higher strength to weight ratio and structural design allows machined bed accuracy the stays level for thousands of years.  Span sag is constantly adjusted by small motorized turn buckles  at expansion joints and on suspension rods.  The use of basalt fiber reduces expansion and a sun shade reduces sun kink expansion On the steel longitudinal parts that become the whole world’s power grid.  Recycle power line copper back into vehicle motors.  Use aluminum for household and industrial wiring.

using better materials that are more expensive in lighter weight systems that eliminate for ever more any future need for the staple of human development massive earth moving saves money over present mound builder and Stone Age industrial based economies.

New smaller more efficient machinery can create guideway portable industries that serve as the housing for production line components that move around from site to site following cyclic demands and raw materials or excess local energy cost reductions.  Labor markets no longer matter as much with full automation and customer or user bought out industries can emerge producing almost free products for people.  Borders like myself will have to more carefully watch our emotional comfort Seeking accumulations.  The presence of more for less combined with opportunities for almost daily new place recreaction inputs might reduce this stacking of possessions.  We might exchange accumulation for the environmentally more gentle expierience based economy.

miniaturizing efficient fully automated production machinery can be transferred directly to smaller space self sastaining habitats.  At present the complexities of maintain independent off earth agriculture as well as product renewal and new product creation is limited to mostly 3D additive technologies.  These have themselves limits in product strength and durability.  Making rock fibers using smaller scale machinery still needs complex binders that may not be regenerated or used again.

Guideways and permantly sustainable development.

The ethics of choices in complex economies.

Human economies are dependent on natural economies of self sastainability amongst our pre history biological surroundings.  We win or lose by the proper use of millions of years of complex interactions of the natural Earth‘s natural economy.  This left behind a legacy of resources like money in the bank.  We can improve on these resources or depleat them.  If we take something out we have to replace it with a materials resource from some where else or we depleat the massive resource.  Conventionally humans are thought to be exceptional because it is assumed we are smart enough to depleat the Earth then move on to do the same for our solar system and eventually laying waste to much of the habitable galaxy.  Some primative animals and plants will out live us if we can not survive consuming next to nothing as they do.

 Untill about a hundred years ago these actions of humans was tiny compared to the average mile or so of available depth in critical resources under sea level.  After these assets are gone we will have to change our ways unless we destroy the habitat of other living things first.  When this habitat is mostly gone we will be mostly finished consuming without end ourselves.

Humans can recycle everything removed from the soils back into the ground as all of the organic and sicate mater we remove or we can look for fertilizers and mulch put away in Earth’s natural resources bank take out the resources and replace them with chemical and processed material wastes.

We need to replace what we remove.  The guideway being able to move about 150 trillion ton miles a year after about forty years of installing at least a 40 million mile guideway network with about 300 million daily operating vehicles can move mountains of sedimentary soils drained into basins restoring nutrients the hard way by giving fields a new layer of precision spread to meet spot needs fertile soil.  The guideway can carry cubic miles Waverly few weeks of water to irrigate the surface in place of natural rain in desert areas.  We actually increase farmable guideway automaticly planted fields and forest areas.

The guideways replace street and highway use plus aircraft, railroads, large diaplacement ships.  But they have the flexibility to combined speed and economy taking on tasks impossible to economicly do with today’s machinery.

The guideway is a self organized user controlled global, fully automated PRT mobility system.  Presently we have mostly private enterprise low dynamic and thrust conversion efficiency, separate forms of transportation that do not operate like a single system.

In emergencies several hundred thousand guideway vehicles coming from all over the world, faster tha jets fly converging by self organizing simpler tha road vehicle automation.  These could flow into an area and train or group lower to take on or drop off cities full of people and goods if needed.  In hours a guideway network could move a city of it’s contents that would take weeks and traffic jams by road and be impossible by rail or air.

This is a old idea from another developer.  The vehicles self lower but are less efficient and slow.


self lowering, station free, jet speed, transportation

Finding a fuel burning free replacement for road and air transportation.

This is a proposal, to prototype a global door to door, eventually jet speed, miniature frontal area, station free, anywhere grid access, universal service global guideway.  This can become a all electric total replacement for all existing fuel burning transportation.

This is also the installation system for a fully automated, miles deep, local geothermal electric system.  The heat of the Earth’s crust can be efficiently extracted for tens of thousands of years to in most places locally power everything we burn fuel for today.

This is being constantly redesigned, attempting to make it the best single system global mobility service, lowest cost product delivery, all electric energy, communications and financial self managing global infrastructure.

One robotic system design replaces all new and most old municipal infrastructures, with low cost housing, transportation, water, sewer and trash total recycling, electricity, communications and data.

This can become a global catlyst, eventually replacing all useful functions of the overhead cost of national to local government, replaced by daily electronic open democracies and a universal, bank free, guideway based global reserve currency system.

A new form of self supplying robotic education and universal welfare is provided by the user controlled guideway.  This is a positive feed back loop personal ecology and economy improver.

This is all drawing on the whole of history and known technologies.  What is likely to work best?

The designs are for an independent self managed robotic vehicle overhead guideway that is self installed with new forms of flexible mobile mass production machinery, going to all properties.

The miniature guideway can be the cheapest supplier of all personal and commercial mobility,  stand alone housing, goods and commodities delivery, in one system.  This is a global survival efficiency improver and ecology neutral machine, eliminating scarcity.

This may be the world’s first proposal for a gear traction, rim drive, inline chained electric wheel motor.  Maintaining constant tread gear pitch and unsprung alignment is the challenge.  Needed is a full speed and load circular test track, to refine choices, reliability and increase speed.

One well thought out, small shop built, universal utility prototype might demonstrate doing everything more efficiently than all our world’s specialized industries, modes, facilaties and vehicles differentially do together today.

First off is to demonstrate greater ease of personal use, lower cost of access, safe higher reliable speed and cheaper ton mile cost potential.

Applied physics and proven products are the guide to what is possible.  Cost to benefit ratio,  economics and logistics define the designs the physics is applied to.  Service variables shape the user controlled computer operating form.

The global guideway is autonomus on demand personal rapid transit or PRT-train vehicles.  These are empty self dispatched vehicle’s going quietly, race car fast, individually to internet, phone or pier push button user calling locations.  No other form of transportation can do this well.

This is robotic fully grade and intersection separated, anywhere access, door to door global transportation.  The tiny frontal area body and running gear is designed to be as low in air drag as possible, cheaper than railways, as fast as jet airliners for all trips, more convenient than personal road vehicle use, low enough in cost to be built competitively and undisturbing over the top of all existing vehicle, utility and property uses, going directly non stop between every home, farm, village and industry on the planet.

A daily commute, mail, small deliveries or needing to ship a million tons of water or grain are equally handled on demand by the same all purpose fully automated self redistributing capacity vehicles.  Many tiny vehicles move the world’s commerce and populations everywhere door to door.  This is what common people need and want, but not what they are allowed to have.

The global guideway has to be made up of millions of nearly identical, user directed, autonomous, self lowering anywhere access, suspended monorail PRT vehicle’s, and small scale support, production, maintainers and guideway transportable automated robotic tool carriers, serving all widely varied user needs. 

All existing automated devices have defects in easy to use human interfaces and occasional failures, short service lives with constant obsolescence.  Not being adaptable to improvements in performance Is common.  Knowing what rugged designs work best is difficult.  Think of all the cell phones, computers, appliances and automobiles you have owned.

All guideway service problems must be machine solved perfectly every time with no good past examples to follow.  Every standard component needs to be toughened, flexible, life time failure safe, better than classic PRT redundancy.

The guideway can create a reduction of about two thirds in the present logistics cost of the Earth bound economy, connected today only by profit oriented market delivery, layered administrative and investor costs, top heavy distribution, in road, rail, air and ocean systems.  Data travels fast, goods and people  move slowly, at great wasteful expense and inconvenience.

90% of consumer goods find their final trip, a few pounds at a time, carried from stores to homes by user and public transportation, 99% in road vehicles and on foot at great cost.

The guideway by passes the present multiple transfer handling of goods in stages.  Guideway on demand delivered goods can go direct in the same hour to day from manufacturers to final users homes and businesses world wide, in fully automated guideway vending systems.  This has been tried only in a few mobile convenience stores in the 1920s, food carts and trucks today.

In high traffic areas the automaticly mass installed ultra light weight guideway grid should cost under $200,000 an access one way grid suburban mile, $2 million a high speed two way mile.  This can be user fee debt retired in about 2 to 7 years, at half the cost of road vehicle use, down to less than a tenth the real user operating cost of the replaced road segments.  Lower cost seat mile or ton mile, at every property access means faster debt retireing early user fees.  Profitable bonds take decades to retire debt today.

A PRT style guideway is structurally isolated from hazards.  Instead of ground level railroads, autonomus road, air or water, steered course management.  This simplifies automated hazard avoidance, navigation and service dispatch.  The skinny vehicle’s are stiffly locked into the easy to manage right-left, stop-start, elevated, precise speed paths the guideway vehicles follow.

Each vehicle directly receives local user phone service requests through collective over lapping area empty vehicles dispatch.  The nearest vehicle takes the call in a outward rotating que.  A intrusion free internet directory and global traffic capacity deficit shared vehicle network, sets navigation addresses, routes, speed brackets, closure rates, cooperative joining and leaving trains and maneuvering timing.

The for profit internet search systems are a predatory 0.5% cost of global GDP, a racketeering monopoly that is economically harmful to the world economy and general human welfare, nearly criminal and obsolete.

Separately vehicles and trains of cooperative vehicles work out adjacent service tasks and merges.  This is not block chain, but overlapping hard multi inductor connections between area vehicles connected to user cell phone controlled self management of cooperative vehicle computers, no central dispatch computer, a global human serving machine.

There are no laborers, managers or investors and their share of wages, profits, taxes and benefits to support.  All guideway cost reduction increases efficiencies in other commerce.  Global economies expand sustainably.  New guideway efficiencies make unthinkable possibilities practical.

The guideway is a user controlled, in trust, self owned robotic industry that operates like a robotic self supporting charitable economic booster.  This is user guided, decentralized, identity free adaptive programming, robotic self management, no AI.

The few maintainence employees could be local real time electronic media assisted.  Anyone can become a learn on the job contractor.  Several billion democratic, all the users are administrators, share management learning decisions.  This is a first time creation of an all purpose, selfless, robotic customer interest institution.

This has to be created by ethics driven, service oriented, low profit margin manufacturers who sell the best mass produced robotic and structural products to a global to local guideway layered trust that is a user controlled, direct daily democratic, federalist like, global coop.  No paid or profiting administrators, but lots of thinkers and idea comparisons.  A new model for organization verifiable mediated electronic democracy is proposed.  All people have access to and self selecting act on all data or choice information. Today most information is hidden by layers of access and administrative difficulty.  Few people make important decisions.  Everybody would need a smart phone provided demcratic process education.

Autonomus guideway constructing and operating selfless robot machine systems manage themselves like millions of seperate global user serving, self financially managing, cooperative businesses.

Producing industries could make close profits on unimaginable global product sales volumes, sold direct to user specification democracy cooperatives but avoid the possible fluctuating economic risks from their product‘s local operation, maintenance, liabilities, regulations and taxes.

To be unpaid robotic charity workers, the vehicles and equipment have to be separated from control by govornment and business providers.  Sociopathic management is more common than altruism at ever higher levels of control.  Sociopathy can not recognize it’s criminal like ethical thought deficiencies in robots or humans.  All behaviors seem properly normal, beyond moral considerations, inside minds.

The resultant recycled self reproducing user controlled mostly robotic economy can evolve to be materials sustainable for larger populations for millions of years into our future and directly into vast cooperative space colonization.  Universal electronic fact based democracy is a new form of government that has never been tried.  Opinions are unimportant, only facts matter based on all available data, judged by the largest possible voter cross section.

A global access everywhere, but local geothermal powered electric guideway is an integrated commercial and personal user controled delivery machine.  Almost anything you can imagine and pay for becomes sustainably possible, expedited by low cost delivery, travel and fuel free local sourced energy forever, deep geothermal now, someday small fission with solar and wind where competitive.

The global robot guideway and energy machine management system is no more a slave to humans than the unfeeling building elevator, air temperature and communications systems we use today.  We should never create thinking programs for such systems, only responsive machine management.  You can still talk with friend like machines.

Proposed here is new assistive automatic suggestive idea sorting cross reference and conflict mediating systems.  Sorting personal attachments from facts requires all minds on the problems.  This allows progressive user goal personal assistant software on every bodies smart phone, absent a Big Brother data mining and neural propaganda network, offering tailored personal motivation and life organizing guidance.  Poverty and criminal mentality might be mostly eliminated.  Differential wealth and opportunities will always exist, ajusted by cheap fast guideway services for all.

Health wellness monitoring advice, disease and trauma care becomes an inexpensive mostly automated to the home guideway service as well.

Wealth and power is rarely a developer of productivity improvements but always willing to take the credit and centralize profits and power.

Happiness and personal mental and activity expansion is the goal directed by personal smart phone advisors, assisting, not directing individual decisions.  Evolutionary conformity verses creativity is a built in human old survival mind flaw.  Persistent progressive outside advice might help most of us learn creative, independent but cooperative ethical memes.  We need reminders.

The uses for road, rail and air vehicles would all work better on the guideway where collisions are easy to avoid and useful speed limits on straight PRT train carrying spans are just below the speed of sound, yet cheaper than than slow railways.  Fast guideway ocean tube highways as cheap as overland expressways mean Intercontinental and island commerce booms with high ocean tube speed.  Global city society is born.

A fast public bus or rail transit ride takes two to three times longer than the same auto trip, which takes about ten times as long as a faster than airlines global guideway trip.

The global guideway vehicle has to be tiny, at about 3 to 4 feet in body diameter, in long slender PRT vehicle operation, Proposed are tubular body gap free entraining, suspended, self lowering anywhere access and emergency egress suspended monorail vehicle’s.  Think of the guideways as providing slender low drag body stiffness not requiring large vehicle cross sections that waste energy.

You sit down on an external outward pivoting recliner.  Easier faster entry than cars or using isles for seat access.  Superior handicap reclining mobility systems are included.payment is by card uncertain in the full bank service ATM arm rest.

The vehicles use TV occupant screen vision in nearly silent interior, windowless vehicles.  You see and hear the surroundings you pass through as if the vehicle speed and noise was eliminated or changed.  You could slow, stop or replay sights of interest.

The only way to increase vehicle speed per ton or passenger mile while lowering user access cost is to lower drag or energy cost while at the same time decreasing linear weight for lower capital investment at every possible property access point or grid mile.

This was all occurring in my thoughts after looking at the low drag of human powered, streamlined speed record bicycles that are able to go over 80 MPH using just over 2 HP sustainable by an athlete.

In time this attempt at a universal global mobility ideal design standard increased to between 14 to 18 square feet frontal area of cylindrical pressurized vehicle bodies.  The trade off was between smaller, everywhere lighter networked, faster, lowest cost transportation infrastructure against passenger emotional comfort with the minimum cross section needed to carry all items people might ever need.  The system still carries on guideway top rails the rare grand piano and most new oversized redesigned machine tools.

There has never been a real need for automobiles, trucks, railways, large jet aircraft and heavy equipment, if developers had made some version of a miniature fully automated high speed 1890s era guideway.

All other vehicles require a need for ever larger versions to be more efficiently controlled by less costly wage earning human operators.  This results in larger, less flexible and slower machines using massive mostly unoccupied facilities.

More compact machine tools and mechanical systems of all kinds will evolve to no longer need expensive large vehicle mobility which in turn required the large tools and massive scale foundations and excavation.

Continents and islands are connected together by the guideways using floating subsurface tethered ocean crossing guideway reduced air pressure tubes that replace large ship and jumbo jets, harbors And airports.

We are stuck now with about $7 trillion yearly globally being spent on massive scale infrastructure and about $15 to $30 trillion yearly globally tied by habitual commitments to the false temporary prosperity of a triple the cost global fuel burning economy.  Every decade a ever smaller percentage of populations make their living off financialization, energy and transportation jobs towards the centralization of wealth and power.  The poor and middle classes are always economically treading water.

We started automating industries about 200 years ago.  Similar but different in design, automation systems could have eliminated most of the need for human control, allowing for user controlled PRT vehicle routing dispatch and traffic operation by the 1890s.  Similar to railway interlocking, fully automated preventing of collisions existed before electronics was possible, but rarely pursued except in limited high speed production machinery.

Every global jet speed guideway vehicle requires segmentally progressive cellular inflated, minimal drag, conical ends of over 3:1 aspect streamlining, used separately or in trains.  These ends need to be able to constantly extend into free air and retract forming flat ends as vehicles form trains with following vehicles slightly pushing the vehicle ahead coupling with minor PRT shear resistant centering.  Longer trains adjust sensed loads.  On impending collisions vehicle trains disengage with separation assisting dynamic braking.  Flutter control is described further on.

Without, small frontal area, skinnier longer suspended monorails, that are everywhere station free access or self lowering PRT vehicles forming trains or smooth sided groups, efficency and speed improvement is presently impossible.  The only other alternative is limited airlock access evacuated tubes for fast inexpensive transportation and mass decoupling.

It is impossible to create aerodynamic lift vehicles of any kind to be as efficient as hard wheel and rail supported high elongation vehicles without the introduction of cheap mass decoupling.

Longer PRT trains and many trains of such slender vehicles with dragster acceleration and deceleration regenerative rates can move well over 50,000 tons a line hour using ultra low cost light weight monorail guideways.  Continuous stream global guideway can carry two million tons per line hour in reduced pressure ocean crossings at over 1,000 MPH.

These small vehicles are large enough to carry all people’s desired movements and goods, faster than commercial jets, but cheaper than heavy freight railways while being low cost enough to reach nearly every house and commercial and popularly accessed spot directly on the planet.  No streets, rural roads, highways, docks or air portsare needed again.  Every property on Earth becomes a harbor or international airport.

The vehicles need to access every property at ground level or with property owner choice inside building and home entries.  The combined vehicle and guideway size passes through a doorway slightly larger than a automated super market single leaf walk door.

The best design for a total fuel burning free transportation system might use slot crossing self steering, suspended inline 3 unit expansion drive hinged inline chains of pancake wheel motors with top and bottom paired disc guide wheels, in a slot straddeling suspended monorail.  The edges of the  one meter diameter motors have narrow 600 to 800 tooth, zero traction slip, equalized torque gear ring wheels that run on accurate rack gear teeth-crown-line contact on either side of the slot.

Chains of usually six to twelve of these 150 KW to 300 KW under 100 pound motors support vehicles that are linearly ultra light, about the linear weight of small automobiles or lighter.  In longer trains each motor would at 650 MPH needing only about 5 to 15 KW for propulsion share drag.  Improving efficency at such widely varying power levels is described.

To keep guideway materials costs down the spans have to be fairly large structural cross sections.  Basalt fiber composite insulated lattice truss cross tube sets have dovetail ends with locking wedges in them that allow reshaping the spans to any imaginable easement and alignment.  These electric insulating trusses and a corrugated basalt roof section and side rain shedding and bird stop louvre panels fit over five to eight metal longitudinal tubular stringers.  This keeps the weather out but reduces the cross wind and vehicle air resistance through the span wall interference drag.

Streamlining all minimal practical frontal area gap free trains and vehicle’s and running gear to .06 or less Cd. Is not alone enough.  Commonly shown solid small tubular PRT closed wall guideway beams can cause 40% of drag.  Small wheel diameters limit speed and service life at the highest speeds.

The suspended vehicles need to all self lower vertically from the guideway anywhere under stop on line access grids.  The access guideway grids replace millions of square miles of side streets, alleyways, driveways parking and industrial lots garages and rural road right of ways everywhere.

In a few decades after the guideways arrive the roads could be removed as desired and replaced with structures, parks, gardens and farm land surface greening between all properties.  Fully automated planting and maintaining machines could farm and forest unused urban and rural lands of any plot size or issolation creating a garden planet.

The guideways are a way to automaticly increase forest areas every where with spaced out and trimmed tiered food production vegetation for unlimited food sources from the 40 million miles of guideways.  Diversely gardened open property Earth becomes a possibility in less than half a century from start up.

Local climates improve to fit the new land cover and open grazing conditions.  Deer, Buffalo and other animals freely roam in cities no longer affected by surface traffic.  Fields and house recreational yards need Fences.  Increased geothermal energy increases the northern useable occupied land areas with controlled global temperatures.  Surface evaporation control, green house farms and unlimited guideway moved precision subsoil applied water supplies allows global Ag everywhere.

Higher speed lower cost mobility over time disperses urban areas to where they would blend into country sides because daily your personal speed of commute travel would be between about 650 MPH on the access guideway to 16,000 MPH on ET3 as the eventual weightless surface speed.  It takes anywhere from thirty seconds to fifteen minutes for acceleration and deceleration at either end to this wide speed range for average people and goods movements.

Roadways are always more costly to build and maintain, are self deteriorating, add significantly to flooding problems and stand in the way of utility access and flexible property management decisions, adding to the cost of property ownership.  Road vehicle systems are a tolerated global liability with unquestioning management and engineering conformisum.

Imagine a jet fast transportation world, without requiring a single bit of land devoted to road surface and massive bridge right of ways, not needing airports, railways, the millions of square miles of hard surfaces, parking lots, massive warehousing and garages everywhere.  Old facilities can find other uses such as local building panel production.

A separate set of amusement park scale light running rails on the top of the guideway monorail beams allows new oversized guideway parts to travel at lower speeds and machines that work on everything around not disturbing the suspended monorail traffic underneath.  Large and longer structures including large building panels can be carried over this top line. This top system’s vehicles are cleated to the rails, unable to derail and tip off as the suspended general service vehicles are locked in by the guideway structure.  Not exceeding windage and off set load torsional beam structural limits and compacting the combined overall grade separated crossing heights requires many design compramises.

Since the guideways are already elevated high above the highest truck and railroad traffic all crossings are grade separated with little overpassing grade changes required.  Bidirectional differing crossing tier heights with about four feet of shared drop and rise would predominate.

The vehicles can self lower from the highest normal access grid sections eliminating the high cost of elevated stations, or any platform or station stop preparation.  Sidewalks for humans and slower wheeled robots and all weather streamlined peddled vehicles become the new sidewalk scale street and rural road global bike and walking path system.

The guideway design proposed here can replace all buried utilities on the planet, usually at a lower cost with the fully elevated easy hole access metal structural tubes of the guideway truss beams carrying fiber optics in the high DC voltage tubes and occasionally water in the small mild winter area heated grounded side structural tubes.

Eventually all electricity can be at-property inverted using the guideway loop main DC power supply from local guideway geothermal sources.  No power company using any present sources and seperate new built distribution can likely deliver electricity this inexpensively.  Energy and communications companies get folded into the automated guideway developments.  Guideway electricity can become quickly cheaper than natural gas as a heating source.

We still will need to capture and use up surface bleed natural gas from millions of square miles of land resulting from fracking, permafrost melt and deep water area melting of methane hydrates.

Green house farming higher per acre production predictability and water conservation might eventually exceed the area of open field work.  Agriculture becomes more stable as the guideways can carry many cubic miles of water everywhere every year.  Deep geothermal local power waste heat can locally desalinate sea water carried to isolated land areas.  The salt is returned to the ocean.

The global guideways are less than half the cost of access street grids to build.  One small guideway vehicle replaces about 15 mixed mostly parked cars and trucks in global useage, providing individual local mobility services without ever seeing any form of traffic congestion.  Long distance runs at night between rush hours otherwise.

Weather and surface traffic hazards are avoided so speed is limited only by user efficiency or speed choices.

A test example in 1889 was built around the fairgrounds at Laurel Maryland.  It’s top demonstrated dash speed was just over 150 MPH sustaining for about a hundred running miles 110 to 120 MPH.  A much faster 300 MPH test track was being surveyed near Garden City Long Island when Weems the Baltimore developer ran out of money and gave up in 1892.

The guideways can replace high cost bricks and mortar educations with mobile guideway personal expierience education access.  This might combine personal cell phone assistance remote instruction, testing and organizing focused life time learning activities for individuals and groups of students of all ages.  Once in place global self schooling programs can replace most human teachers and allow monitoring-parents a companion learning oportunity based on high access to everywhere.  Education might seem more like applied activity vacation home schooling adventures, developing self selecting independence.

The 1953 idea of ultra light PRT vehicles was published by Don Ficter 15 years latter.  The original minimalist single person vehicle principles were abandoned in favor of minibus and taxicab scale vehicles for no good reasons.  Until Doug Malewicki’s Skytran proposal for ideal dynamic scaling in transportation, about 1990, this was never before publicly considered for light, fast low drag vehicles.  Daryl Oster is ET3.

The vehicles are as cheap to build as autonomus automobiles but able to travel continuously faster in trains up to the allowed shock wave noise producing speed limit.  Every standard utility PRT  vehicle can put on one to two million miles a year.  The more yearly maintainence free miles each vehicle travels the faster it pays back it’s cost for a lower user per mile cost.

Elongated rod armature maglev may be better but remains design and cost to benefit illusive.

Aircraft fast PRT is a fraction as difficult as slow automated trucks and taxis in mixed road traffic with 360 degree hazard automation decisions, pets, farm, wild animals, bicycles and pedestrians on winter ice and foggy nights.  None of this slows the hazard free well designed guideways.  No hitting deer, people or raptors feeding on animals run down by previous vehicles.

At 90% of Hyperloop speeds the cost per seat or ton mile of this form of PRT is less due to not needing separate street and rural road systems for access in connecting vehicles.  The guideways are cheap enough to be built along or through most farm land and along all town streets.  This is like telephones and REA in the early 1900s, we can’t live without it.

This is the only known presentation of large segmental core removal, sidewall supported cog rail elevator shaft sinking, in ultra deep, nearly all local geothermal energy.  This is required to decentrally power the global guideways and all domestic and industrial energy needs for about 10,000 to 150,000 years almost everywhere on Earth.

This CO2 transfered geothermal is water pollution free, non stop, needing no fuel peaking or reserve power storage back up system.  9 to 13 miles deep geothermal toughens the earths crust stability over time, but will be probably be slightly exceeded in consumption than coducted outward.  Thermal radiation loss balance into space remains uncertain.

This is a starting point from basics in designing towards possible transportation and energy perfection on the first try.  Like all new ideas this is a hard sell.  I have never found a way to talk people of any specialized education level into looking objectively at the ideas.  People are habitual mental and social creatures, defenders of their secure mutual familiar experiences, not wanting to step out of collective economic safety zones.

Physics and demonstrated mass production equipment sets the narrow path to these guideway designs.  Operating turbine engines, aircraft, space vehicles, race cars and emerging complex autonomus robotics tells us what we can expect from structures and mechanisms under loads, cyclic stresses, operational reliability and longevity.  

Jobs, whole industries and professions are certainly at risk of total guideway economy bypassing, failure from obsolescence and their demonstrated inabilities to not be able to adapt to complex changes.  We are globally stagnating due to higher overhead to output and human life benefit ratios, consumption of critical resources.

Artificial intelligence if task designed is unlikely to take over.  A mouse expieriences more ego pleasure than a self learning biologically unattached global computer.  Decentralization is cheaper, more reliable, bypassing self serving corporation leaders, kings, elected oligarchies and mega brain computers.

Even discussing a total transportation single mode replacement is difficult because it can not practically work exactly like anything that has ever been done before.  Varying design preferences favoring tried PRT and simplistic autonomus road vehicle ideas out number best global guideway forms by many thousands to one.

How do you start up a $150 trillion over three decades global guideway capital industry that seems to require being every where all at one time to be viable?  This is no different than building the first of anything like telephones, where it will find the densest market place, serving hundreds of these areas, then connect them together as advantages emerge.

Increasing global productivity is defeated by failed self serving nationalism and investor capitalism.  Higher velocity of money growth requires faster investment and product through put as well as faster consumer turn over of earnings who no longer need savings for security.  Savings are used as profiteering feed stocks.

The guideway increasing productive wealth fills in the poorest emerging economies first  This is assuming leaders allow common people to each take on complex world challenges.  A broad life time recreational educationfor all is the tool box.

The 3D global guideway eliminates any need to ever again use earth moving in right of way cuts and filling or leveling sites for buildings to accommodate the surrounding surface transportation and single level factories because of the inadequacies of in plant mobility.  This can be replaced by bringing the global near verticle grade climbing guideway vehicles inside the plants instead of using lift trucks.  No massive earth moving will ever again be required accept for dam making, farming, ET3, geothermal and mining.

Unfortunately I am the only known proposer so far pursuing the global single mode total replacement guideway that I can find.  There are two other self lowering PRT systems proposals plus the Titan industries owner’s description to me and a US Army movie about an assault cable monorail , possibly a Titan project, in the late 1950s.

There have been many thousands of people who have willingly given critical design advise that I sought and simple encouragement or occasional angrily criticizing the idea using every excuse possible to deride it.  They are occasionally right in their negatives which in turn requires solutions to try to avoid their dire predictions.  The detractors would have formerly been luddites against other improvements

Make lists of what is ideal and what is undesirable and everything we are doing today in transportation and energy, even public water, sewer and land fill utilities will be on the undesirable list in every way, except that the present road based and high cost buried infrastructure already exists.

This proposal can get along nicely without any land fills, incinerators, gravity sewer systems, wind and solar electric power, lighting and phone line poles, advertising signs and buried networks, fire and police stations, most prisons, most school and university buildings, large hospitals, national and local militaries and govornment administrations.

Crime and addictions remain mostly symptoms of poor unhappy and bored populations.  Happiness, health and personal daily shared adventure is the main global guideway product.

This is identical to the introduction of smart phones with everywhere access to the internet.  This can all occur during a global commerce transition.   This is a universal global vending machine.

To be global the network requires ocean tube guideway highways, floating, held to the bottom by neutral buoyancy tethers about 100 feet below the surface.  Air vent and access tube bouys float miles apart on the surface.  Mid ocean geothermal power provides local electricity around which sea steading farms and community anchorages might build with jet speed guideway commerce to often more expensive to live in land areas.

The ocean guideway grids would go different routes than current shipping and airline lanes because crossing land is cheaper than ocean tube miles and large airport and harbor hubs are totally bypassed mostly flooded by ocean rise and tidal wave risks.

We have learned to work with the road vehicle at grade defects.  We universally accept the present accident and pollution world three million people a year death toll as a blame it on the victims sacrifice for modern living.  Fuel burning capitalism faschisum poverty adds another about 50 million early deaths a year mostly do to poverty.   Two thirds of the world's impoverished emerging populations still do not own a personal vehicle.  Road paving for land hungry vehicles are built everywhere.

The PRT global elevated full length access and egress guideway is a all purpose, personal  vehicles, useable by any child, handicap or old person who can follow simple verbal or pictorial instructions to dial a phone by any means or speak clearly, can get themselves any where in the world they could afford the one to five cents a mile vehicle cost.  Shared vehicle use costs less.

Each standard vehicle might commonly have about 10 cubic meters of cabin personal or moving partician subdivided space behind a possibly 1.5 square meter internal frontal area, able to carry one ton or in longer lengths three tons.

PRT saves money by eliminating human management and long term investor profits.  Ideally the guideway users control and pay for debt retirement as soon as possible.  Automated installation systems cut costs.  The substitution of the more expensive basalt composit  cross wise and steel longitunals reduces materials weight enough that cheaper dirt fill, concrete and asphalt roadway costs are many times greater considering drainage, line capacity and the elimination of parking and land area costs.

We want to go places quickly and get deliveries yesterday.  Most people would enjoy cheap fast holidays a thousand miles to a coast for a warm swim or fishing and return for work the same day.  People could hold jobs or get special schooling or visit relatives daily hundreds to thousands of miles from their homes.  Everybodies roaming range would increase.  Most products could be automaticly delivered direct from the producer to globally distributed homes, nonstop world wide, faster than commercial limited range jets fly today, cheaper than Amazon or Walmart retailing.  Recreational shopping will continue but the guideway replaces the need for big box store nearby access.  Vacant real-estate gets recycled and greened up in a guideway world.  Freeway city blight disappears in guideway forests like Myan cities did.

Road vehicles are slow, fully autonomus VTOL drone taxi and delivery systems are prone to catastrophic failures, not operable in bad weather and a hundred times more expensive than the global guideway to operate.

Most aerodynamic drag for short bodied vehicles is form or frontal area drag.  As vehicles gain smooth longer end tapers this drag is reduced to a minimum of about 1/20 the square corner flat end drag, like most trucks, busses, ships and railroad bodies have.  Reducing air resistance makes ideally streamlined short vehicles several times longer.  By reducing the frontal area increasing the train length, elongating the loads, you reduce the drag with slight gains in skin friction up to bodies of about 20:1 length to cross section width ratio.  This skin friction is also being energized in moving boundary layer drag reducion up to about 400 feet long in flexible trains of slender vehicles, where in still cross winds, skin drag reduction length advantage equalizes out as an inverse parabolic curve of decreasing viscous drag to volume ratio.  Studies done on high speed railway drag give different results than studies done on shorter body aircraft and surface effect short road vehicle drag.

Take an airliners isle and head room eliminated passenger and cargo volume and many times it‘s loaded weight and stretch it out to 8 or more times it’s length, throw away the wings, tail, fuel and tanks ten times heavier engines and electricly propel it by pickup rail, with zero traction slip, at less than railway hard wheel on steel rail rolling friction, at one fortieth the wing load lift friction of the aircraft and you have this vehicle system.  All together possibly 100 to 500 times more cost efficient than an aircraft and zero crew or terminal human operators are needed any more than you need an operator or manager for a push button controlled building elevator.

Add to this low cost electricity at one  fifth or less the cost of fuel and you can carry grain and ore world wide at sea level on guideways every where in the world direct farm or mine or factory door to door direct to customer, bypassing multi handling and mark up delivery stages and you have a world economy with about one third or less the overhead cost.  Product prices drop accordingly as well as capital productive efficencies increase.

Personal average wealth continues to rise causing end of scarcity decreasing population growth.  Over population is usually an compensation for poverty and low education levels.  This allows totally integrated global trade and eventually tension free cosmopolitan global direct electronic democracy, leader and representative free govornments with a universal rights and responsibility common law base with a global citizen identity and global free market.

The 6% of global transportation jobs disappear but for a time it will still take some factory workers to build the guideways and vehicles.  In the 1980s when I first started collecting information on a global guideway the US transportation job share was dropping steadily from about 9% of jobs.  Retail jobs will start to disappear.  They will have competition as the global guideway brings all on vehicle vending retail to the most remote and impoverished places from every other place nonstop in minutes to hours from moment of harvest or manufacturer packaging, nearly always in the same days time.

This becomes the first safe walkable animal habitat world since railways and road vehicles we’re invented.  The highly tapered end guideway designs would kill fewer birds than trucks, cars and building window impacts.

This is about creating a global integrated overhead monorail structure that is eventually 40 million miles long, connecting nearly all buildings together with door to door shipping and travel access, faster than jets, more efficient than railways, creating lower cost multi ten thousand year cheap ultra deep geothermal steady state electric supply as the guideway grid advances and guideway automation recycling of all human and eventually most natural wastes.  Tool carriers clear forest under brush as mulch for farming and cut fire paths across grasslands.

Modifying, improving and adding on to the existing systems is considered by absolutely all that publish as the only solution, not replacement with vastly superior systems, not even openly researching superior systems attributes.

PRT supporters have seen their fully automated and highest speed systems as contributors to a slow railroad, road and air vehicle world, not replacing the other modes but connecting them at the edges.  Limited market goals leads to limited design performance expectations.  Nearly all PRT vehicle proposals use wheel systems similar to road and railroad wheels.  All maglev train proposals so far are clumsy, bulky, inefficient.

In a PRT emergency stop, all vehicles behind the at risk vehicle, instantly progressively slow down with only the first following vehicles stopping at three Gs or faster, about four times faster stops than locked road vehicle brakes in stopping.  Controlled shorted motor motor rotors regenerate stops like electric power tools use resistor braking.

Closing the gaps in PRT traffic between vehicles while forming low drag trains of convienience at every opportunity is neccesary to increase the traffic activity or merge and demerge spaces between vehicles.  Center of train entry and exits at switches-turnouts is a coordinated activity of all the vehicles near by acting as one vehicle control system.  Failure is not a allowable possibility for the automation design.

This is the first in history micro tooth narrow gear wheel support and traction system.  This is not a classic cog railway.  The wheel motors are effectively rotary maglev systems with a low friction positive zero slip support and propulsion interface.  The maglev and motor close clearance gap is mechanically controlled at all speeds by needle bearing centering.  Torsional forces on the bearings virtually does not exist with guide wheels.

The vehicles and their guideways have to be light in weight enough, less than 200 pounds per linear foot of vehicle length on entrained lines, one vehicle allowed per span on the 95% of the access to every property grid miles, to make the guideways less expensive to install and use beside every property than continuing to use any form of roads soon air for personal access and deliveries.

No short trip to work, shopping and school with this set of designs, would ever travel most of the trip at less than about 100 MPH peak speed a few blocks away to 200 MPH across smaller urban areas to 400 to 650 MPH for trips over about 20 to 50 miles.  Very broad motor efficiency maps and incremental coil and motor throtting mean high regenerative efficiencies recovering high acceleration losses that are no longer significant.  Speed is limited by acceleration lanes and traffic density allowing train entry gaps.

The design loading is for one G normal acceleration and less if the user chooses for economy and comfort over increased trip speed.  Automatic selective routing places vehicles with similar speed choices in their respective traffic route patterns.

Global economy efficency improvement.

This is about reducing the cost of all products and services world wide for everybody.

The emergence of complex sensors, machine vision, speech content recognition and simple idea understanding by electronic systems allows robotic systems to replace human labor.  These robotic systems can manage and build themselves.

This has been obvious to a few people even starting over 200 years ago.  It was then that the first mechanical computer like fabrication systems started to emerge in the music box, cloth weaving industry and be adopted in variable task computer attempts.

Rare geniuses or savants took on these difficult challenges as in all progressive human developments that got us out of our caves and hide huts and into air conditioned homes driving personal cars that on average are capable of 120 MPH but rarely go over 80 MPH and average 30 MPH, the true speed of global commerce.

Humans have abilities hard wired into our brains related to facial recognition.  On average people can remember over 10,000 faces of people they regularly see.  About 2% of people have face blindness.  I have this problem partially so this is personally familiar.  On the other hand I grew up in a mechanical family looking at pictures, equipment specification sales listing and captions in yachting magazines and heavy equipment, railroad and aircraft magazines, sales sheets for government surplus bid descriptions and military equipment listing manuals.  My family have been for seventy years in the equipment and govornment and industrial surplus equipment business.  From a baby I was surrounded by equipment of all kinds seeing everything disassembled and put back together.  My family also were many farmers, auto dealers, truckers, constantly engaging in construction projects and boating for hobbies.

All machinery became my favorite friends of sorts.  About age six I learned to read from then on mostly by reading technical materials with detailed descriptions of every machine known to man.  By age twenty I had probably seen several million machine types and parts and had a spacial ability to recognize relation ships.  This ability was aptitude tested on multipule occassions at about one in 10,000 people.  My life got weirder from there.  I would see significance in things other people would not be aware of.  Social isolation progressed to where machines and the things they did were my life.

Untill the last year or so I could not understand why people universally made the poorest of transportation choices when there was so much technical data accumulated showing other possibilities we’re better for very easy to understand reasons.

The choices are not made by purely analyzing data but in making incremental evolutionary steps along pre established lines of development that assured support from other conforming people, industries and institutions that are willing to channel funding towards certain types of improvements but reject without a second thought other possibilities nearly everyone us unfamiliar with.  What’s more engineers and planning executives have facial recognition blindness for guideway and field propulsion alternatives favoring classically developed transport systems.

Proposed here is a single all purpose, well defined robotic single machine guideway system that does everything all the manually controlled logistics industrial systems and vehicles do today.  We use auto pilots in many ways that are still only cruise speed controls and direction for ships with altitude added for aircraft for all functional vehicles with only the first self steered systems being introduced as autonomus road vehicles and military drones. Self landing aircraft are still a curiosity and only rarely operational.  This is about to abruptly change over the next few decades.

Robotic vehicles will become shortly most vehicle trips because they are cheaper since they can take themselves without driver dispatcher or terminal crew cost serving one non owning user then going to the next, non stop without needing human labor overhead costs.  Autos and delivery trucks first then aircraft and crewless ocean freighters.

The biggest defect in all of this conversion from humans to robots is we are applying the robotic management in the wrong ways to the totally wrong most difficult to operate safely vehicle systems.  In the 1880s robotic like pneumatic tube mail systems were being developed.  In the 1890s roboticly controlled electric small vehicles emerged as urban package delivery systems.  Maintain the miniature right of ways was costly because of poor designs.

Other overhead semi automatic pick up and delivery systems using overhead monorails with self lowering basket retrieval systems were proposed and tried.  Not one time were all the best idea possibilities employed at the right scale.

One of these proposals in 1884 was for a 200 MPH to 300MPH intercity vehicle freight then passenger system with full press coverage in America and England, possibly elsewhere.  The problem was most technical and business people were blind to ideas they could not understand or envision in anyway, different in all ways from what people are use to.

A line must not be crossed in that robotic systems that mostly will not have arms, legs, hands, sense of touch, feelings or emotions have to never be designed to have sensory isolation from human like task control and perceptual responses that lead to self identity.  They ten become manufactured mechanical people deserving of human rights.  Such self managing and creating system robots may look on us as data management challenged intellectual inferiors, as we will be.  A new form of raceisum emerges between machines and our biology.

These robots have to remain task specific pre programmed job expediters.  Certain ideal user interaction suggestions will give them a seemingly human or animal level intelligence appearance in actions that mimics enotional responses as an aid in improved human interactions.  These are already programmed into many cell phone and computer assistants.

The global guideway and the universal bidirectional tracked tool carriers can soon manufacture and deliver themselves.  The global guideway and tool carrier vehicles should be equipped as self owned public trust business managers.  Tool carriers should all have a folding seat and temperature controlled compartment for a human operator or passenger.  These replace road vehicles where needed, only they are able to smoothly climb stairs with fairly tight turned landings in smaller sizes yet carry a ton or more of items up or down steps and soft ground slopes too steep for present four wheel drive vehicles to ascend.

Fifty or so years ago I was out at the NeBrady’s State Fair grounds working on relaying the steam railroad there.  Two Cushman Tracksters were running up and down into a steep sided gully that crossed the east parking field.  They were able to assend slopes so steep neither most motorcycles or humans on foot could climb and descend them.  This set in motion a quest to achieve even better performance since the Trackster depended on human operator balance which lead to injuries and deaths because of miss judgement of overturning limits and no roll cages.  A bidirectional all electric track emerged that simplified steering and increased tread wear life.

All objects, plants, people and animals need be treated with care by robotic systems as to not crash into them, recognizing the differences between running surfaces needed for support and things existing on top of surfaces.

Larger tool carriers could mount agricultural, construction, materials handling and mining machinery.  These might work singlely or in groups mounted close together or spread out for stability in crane boom mounting.

All of the tool carrier designs and impkements travel inside the global guideway vehicles at 650 MPH between jobs, available in the same day on opposite sides of the planet.  Faster mobility at low costs per ton mile at about one cent to five cents a ton mile is a form of economic efficency because a single machine week shared in use replaces the cost of many machines retiring debt cost in months not years.

Production forming and assembling machinery for all purposes might mostly be mobile, going from site to site to do local runs of goods and services.  Instead of exporting many goods at great distance many industries form up make and inventory for area consumption then move on to the next location doing similar or adapttally reconfigure for similar tasks In different industries.

Traveling machine shops might show up at a site and custom make or modify parts to user designs tried out and rebuilt till they are right.  The shop tools then self mobilize to the next user in differing combinations for every task.  There are fewer delays in transferring ideas and receiving back prototypes or custom made parts.  Making machine tool skills easy to achieve by less experienced users is required.  Thes technology access simplification systems have been underway since the 1960s.

Inflated green house farming and the lower cost of using a global guideway to move fertile phosphate and other nutrient soil from rich river deltas and valleys and unlimited water supplies to any place in any season moved on demand on the global guideway and the use of night time agricultural lighting for plants from geothermal nine mile deep at site geothermal power plants with exact temperature  moisture and gas mixture control makes extreme plant growth possible even in arctic winters.  This means multi crop high production food creation can be at any place not just fertile wet, sunny areas.

The outputs for tens of thousands of years do not diminish with soil, nutrient or water table reductions.  Many times the out put per acre means less land is needed.  Farms vegitable gardens and orchards can be located claimant controlled on urban vacant lands between houses where old parking lots use to be or on the flat roofs of large buildings.  Local fresh food sourcing becomes inexpensive and practical as most items are no longer seasonal but year around mass produced.


Global door to door unified transportation and energy

all properties worldwide are connected together

  • This is about replacing all existing fuel burning transportation and energy infrastructure on the planet with a single vehicle design that can take a single person, mail and packages to millions of address delivered water, soil and commodities globally door to door, yet, efficiently continuously run in longer trains with one to three tons of commodities or goods in each small frontal area vehicle at just below the speed of sound, 950 feet per second, 650 MPH, efficiently in longer gap free slick sided trains, outside of a vacuum tube, mostly in near sea level high drag air pressure.
  • It is not expected that full speed will be reached in first user safe operations.  Speed record attempts might right off make 1300 MPH To 1800 MPH on a highly banked  circular test track with special built wheel motors or using any straight early guideway track.  The challenge is to make them safe and last with low maintainence without wearing out the guideway gear rails or wheels.
  • This has never before been proposed or tried in any form.  This will be uncomfortably unfamiliar to most technical people even though it is less difficult than modern jet flight and less expensive for home and small business access than paving a roadway, in a only harbor and airport intercontinetally guideway ocean tube connected world.  The same guideways cross oceans at cheaper capital and operating cost than planes and ships.
  • The goal has been for thirty nine years now to improve upon all the best service characteristics of all existing transportation systems and vehicle designs combined into one best design robot like present technology use system.
  • This can not be a hybrid combination of past design features.  This requires thinking from scratch with no limits other than physical and economic achievable limits.
  • Fuel burning slow road vehicles are today 99% of commerce, personal connectivity and industrial economy survivability.  Commercial jets are the the only true high speed allowed transportation.  Ships plod between continents.  River barges and railroads are about as fast as a fast rider bicycle in average door to door speed.  Large vehicles require constant rehandeling to smaller vehicles to ever more global optimized trade distant final users.
  • like a soon to die person in hospice the planets populations have been put on a guideway free diet to comfort existing transport and supporting systems people that they will not lose jobs and investment value.  The planets population is kept away from even knowing about small high speed ET3 or Skytran derivative ideas.  If we all knew the advantages of the guideway system cure that can heal the problem and extend the Earth’s beautiful ecology we would give up expensive overhead auto and truck use forever.
  • With universal utility minimum cross section faster than commercial jet PRT vehicle development the whole of the auto, truck, rail, ship and commercial aviation industries would practically disappear in a quarter century.
  • Lowering vehicle access costs is required to get beside every house and apartment every where.  This can only be done with the lightest span load possible and eliminating anyneed for platforms docks or elevated stations.  These are replaced by a single ten cross strap cable direct drive hoist, self lowering access vehicle.
  • Light vehicles one at a time on slightly slower 100 MPH to 200 MPH low traffic frequency access grids cross light weight 30:1 cross section to length open truss suspension or stayed cable spans cross wise streamlined members for the lowest wind drag possible.
  • Rarely are bridges streamlined to lower their dynamic resistance to winds to lower materials cost.  Even foot bridges are designed for substantial span tonnages of 50 to 100 pounds per square foot of deck.  Three tons in the middle of a hundred foot or more span might be the highest access guideway span load plus ice, snow and wind loads.
  • It is cheaper to use resistance and robot snow removal to protect spans and actively measure sag and horizontal deflection and vibration to keep traffic off spans at risk moments than to design more structurally costly stiffer spans and piers.
  • If a single guideway vehicle design can not do everything needed by people it would be like a cell phone without any cell towers and internet.  You will still need roads for some uses, meaning duplicate expenses reducing money for guideway grid access every where.  The guideway designs have to satisfy all imaginable requirements with a standard one design system.
  • Very rugged wheel motors, possibly better than any, maglev gives much greater efficency at a half or less capital cost to performance and efficency ratio, by eliminating the full length magnetic support and propulsion costs.
  • Cheaper gear rails are required.  Tungsten capped steel is proposed but carborundum cast gear teeth and separate wavy contact power pick up might also be tried.
  • Eliminating vacuum ET3 tubes requires vehicles have to be much smaller, streamlined to the max and train up flush ended with deflated nesting ring layered streamline ends.  Train coefficients of drag approaching 0.014 Cd are possible.  Each trailing vehicle adds under 50 KW of energy cost at 950 FPS per one to three tons carried.
  • Higher speed multi thousand MPH ET3 has lower but similar wear life costs due to electronic commutation cyclic wear at about three times the initial guideway mileage installation cost and four or more times the individual door to door property access cost to build the same capacity guideways.
  • ET3 is the future Where it is affordable.  Most people are presently poorer and can only afford the in air access guideway.  Absent total needs replacement we would still need to maintain roads for access.
  • ET3 vehicles can go directly to space nonstop.  But special in air capsules might change running gear at a launch tube location for non stop ET3 scale full vacuume to orbit Startram launch to a equatorial ring.
  • Automated roads require huge drainage problem land areas and never will get much over a hundred MPH in intercity speed and never lick the traffic congestion and random accident hazard problems.
  • Air vehicles if dynamic and not mass decoupled lift will always be high in energy consumption.  And always possible to crash from severer weather or power and bird impact failures.
  • Mass decoupled air and space vehicles for all uses are an unknown.  They are probably more efficient than guideways even ET3 but require precise route separation for heavy traffic safety and lower vehicle cost than likely practical.  Field effects in personal and environmental situations remain unknown to me.  They probably require larger property access areas.  For the wealthy mass and time decoupling systems are likely the only way to travel.
  • Solutions to improve guideway efficiencies yet increase speed to just below the speed of sound and make access not a distant expensive to build right of way trolley or bus stop, parking lot or garage space but right in or beside every home and business in the world.
  • Required is a about six foot by twenty foot self lowering vehicle landing  areas at each property.    This is about the area of a car parking space.  The vehicles descend to a user specified access height, rarely touching the ground or floor.  A vehicle can arrive unload and depart about every 20 seconds.  rarely would more than a single access pad be needed to prevent traffic congestion.
  • proposed are narrow slots so the vertically unsupported distance is only about 5 to 6 inches.  The bottom guidewheel cross over support distance not requireing magnetic steering attachment migh be two feet.
  • There are no sounds or hazards in self lowering vehicle access.  The average urban access capital cost is about $200 to $300 per average household as close to doors as wanted.  This includes higher density areas.  Lower density housing access cost using center of block one way PRT networks or back yard access migh average about $1,500 in America.  Rural road access might cost about $150,000 a mile.  Roof top access is preferred.
  • The guideway goes to where vehicle roads are used today.  This is better than international airport access to villages that cannot afford road access today.  Primitive villagers would have on demand jet speed access to the whole world.
  • Global ocean tube networks would soon bring all countries together like one global city.  ET3 connects the global city as fast as taking a cross town transit ride to the far side of the planet.
  • The guideways do not require any earth moving that inhibits integrated land use or requires drainage systems.  The guideway elevating piers are the elevation change moderator fills and cuts of roads, railroads and canals.
  • The guideway vehicles can climb and descend almost verticle slopes if strapped in passengers do not mind some discomfort.  Securing loads for multi G stops is already required.
  • The guideway spans go through where power lines go today and usually replace the power lines and any area lighting now more frequently shadow free distributed and on IR motion switches.  A dark world emerges again.  Lights are only turned on when and where needed.  No heated high ceiling, always lit, big warehouse everything stores are needed.
  • The guideways bring Walmart level product access, world wide, directly between production industries and final users non stop in minutes or hours not days and weeks from user on demand delivery to their homes.  This can happen without requireing wholesale retail, fulfillment warehouses, parcel service delivery companies, postal services or human managers and operators.
  • This is what PRT style delivery has been described as for 130 plus years now.  This was possible with electric motor, miniature Palmer monorails and punch card or tape directing automation by the 1840s
  • In 2019 nearly all transportation  experts still do not understand the criteria for sucsessful PRT delivery.  The guideway whole side gull wing door provides a rain shellter access for about 30 square feet of display shelf frontal area with vending door slots or open shelving as a cooler or for or freezer case well.
  • A smart visual system makes migh monitor unpaid stealing of goods and even track the route of the theaf when he leaves through other vehicles exterior monitoring systems.  This is on vehicle incident triggered emergency and security camera data direct to local volunteer or regular police, on demand only when needed immediately.
  • The global guideway access stop should be as common as mail boxes everywhere.  A mail box requires some kind of street, road or path for access.  The guideway is a preferred pathway that also brings with it almost free electricity and communications broad band everywhere.
  • For the guideway to evolve towards mostly free transportation as a operating user owned and controlled institution it has to eventually through self producing verticle integration, mine it's own materials and fabricate it’s own machinery and structures and get it’s own energy from guideway owned miniature local power plants that use almost endless geothermal energy.
  • Only local geothermal electric transmission with little distribution losses reduces power costs.
  • People and businesses would in a few decades evolve towards using almost free guideway energy and transportation.
  • This is a positive effort seeking the best single idea, whatever form it takes.  This is not stagnantly trying to slightly improve existing systems that all are defineable for many specific criteria as unimprovable failures.
  • Proposed is a rotary maglev like motor with a mechanical gear wheel support and traction interface.  This is not because it is ideal.  But, because it is economically expandable at minimum cost per unit of user outcome.
  • Hyperloop is a vasalating redesign of the Swiss Metro.  Daryl’s ET3 is courageous and bold but lacks a ideal user at home interface.  Possibly 99%  of trips made are to and from or connected with supplying homes.
  • People rarely sleep in school or work rooms Even prisons and hospitals are homes of sorts.  Home detention and recovery using the immediacy of guideway access for professional service equipment and home energy and communication might replace large institutional building cost.  Full monitoring hospital equipment that is easily user patient self service and prisoner location technologies means the jail is every where.  Police apprehension can be international using on bird evidence detection of hostile activities using gun shot and fearful or painful voice triggers callin area vehicles to observe and collect information.
  •  The global guideway brings rapid response PRT that is global door to door in the same vehicle that brings all your needs to you and you to every place you are ever likely to need to get to.  Police, emergency service and health care people travel to where they are called on the guideways.
  • ET3 to wealthier neighborhoods still requires a walk and a wait for a group to form that is large enough to justify the more expensive indirect vehicle and enclosed tube guideway.  This is still like airport transportation for the wealthy but cheap enough to be near most neighborhoods.
  • The global guideway is daily transportation for the about 18 billion daily short to long trips and distribution trips people take and economies need to function.  Can affordable Hyperloop or ET3 handle 18 billion movements every day?
  • The 2018 cost of financialization, banking, stocks, bonds, futures, dirivatives, insurance, investor partner profits is about 21 % of the US economy, growing fairly steadily with mostly unregulated practices since about 1954 when it was 4%.  The Koch Brother’s economic rich people beneficial economic model costs 90% of mostly pooer consumers more than the cost of all taxes without returning to them compensating benefits in significant common life style cost to labor ratio improvements.  Capitalism benifits investors.
  • The guideway users, or all of humanity needs to learn what to invest in.  We need to return future profits back to self guideway owned capital productive value that constantly builds on itself.  Faster growth towards nearly free services requires taking higher service fees at first to pay for guideway fully automated expansion industries and debt retirement.
  • In the last few years with constant introductions of automation the US per worker productivity has still dropped an averaged of .03% a year.  Nobody I know of statistically tracks average user lifestyle advantages from automation.
  • The goal of the global guideway is to eliminate 2/3ds of the need for any infrastructure and defense tax investment in thirty years and double or more average productivity of common staple products by eliminating most of the overhead cost of manual based mass distribution and excess inventory stages and a need for related investor opportunities.
  • The consumer driven economy will progressively pick up the automation jobs reductions only if profiteers do not skim the gains for wealthy sector profit making.  Investors like services and products used for survival to become ever more expensive per man hour for lower income people.  The ranks of the homeless and marginal busines failuers will multiply against the centralized profit taker growth.
  • If the profit takers improved product utility to cost ratios they would earn their keep but they never go much beyond figuring out how to sell less for more by adding to purchase appeal and make it more desirable to buy low value based on emotional product allegences.
  • The guideway is designed to be a anywhere access global superstore for everything with single to thousands of passenger or tons of goods departures per hour per city block, plus offering next to every building access and utilities.  No truck and buss caravan could do the same while getting each small auto sized vehicle to seperate user direct door to door global including local destinations, faster than any airliner.  The global guideway is probably the only form of modern future transportation.
  • About 3% of the global nationalist economy is defense of leadership possession and situational or institution survivability.  The guideway should never be used for National defense transportation or weapons delivery.  A onboard system migh detect radiation, odor and visual signaturesand warn of vehicle misuse by global guideway not international law.
  • Automated taxi delivery and truck road vehicles still have all the surface traffic defects of roads.
  • Elevated guideway networks eliminate any need for drainage property margin integration land areas and curb, sewer and set back maintenance issues and cross traffic conflicts.
  • Each standard guideway vehicle is over designed to efficiently carry one or two single file, automated reclining semi recumbent seat passengers or one to three tons 18 to 24 cubic yards-meters of goods or commodities.  All behind a frontal area the size of a motorcycle and rider but less air drag than a bicycle and rider.
  • A US personal road vehicle costs average users about 60 cents a operating mile, more on average than any other household expense.  If the cost of property driveways, parking lots, garages, collisions, lifetime disability, road deaths, pollution health and property deterioration and flooding problems are added in this cost is much higher.
  • The guideway economy might cost less than half to a fourth this cost during the first five years of local operations getting progressively less after various debt shares are retired.
  • A under $500,000 vehicle half speed, but full scale and feature prototype could be built by a efficient custom car fabricator using eight in line 15 KW motorcycle electric wheel motors.  This would use automotive seats and geared self lowering system reducing the hours for fabrication ease.  A half mile simple bar joist truss test track for 200 MPH up and down repeated acceleration tests might cost another half to one million dollars using Vulcraft manufacturing data.  A two mile diameter circular highly banked track to test full speed production motors to wear out or failure might cost about $3 to $4 million.
  • At this point a production high speed rail and running gear pilot production line needs to be set up to keep costs low and start to demonstrate the first protrusion tungsten shell resistance brazing on high speed forged rack rail gears.
  • Protean or other existing wheel motors can work until a pilot production motor line can be created for possibly $30 to $50 million leading to first stage limited production vehicles.
  • This needs to be accompanied by the world’s first high speed guideway production and installation machines.  These might cost hundreds of millions to perfect but could lay 3,000 to 5,000 miles of intercity guidewys per machine set per year.  A fourth or less that rate might be laid through urban residential areas.  This is half or less the cost of urban street and utilities construction
  • The individualized access vehicles are small in frontal area and run in trains with parallel smooth gap free sided, low as possible air drag bodies.  They join together as soon as possible with available near by vehicles going similar direction above about 200 MPH.  They do this to have little more drag than Hyperloop considering fan and choking losses for the short Hyperloop vehicle’s.
  • after the development cheap of tiny high definition video cameras and screens all vehicles with window for operations and occupant vision have become obsolete.  Windows loose interior heat and air conditioning are weak spots and line for debilitating damage from impacts and are hard to keep ice rain and snow off of unlike a small rotary lense HD camera which can cheaply be doubled or tripled at spread out points for enhanced stereoptic depth perception and bison redundancy from damage.  Windows are obsolete.
  • We have every bit of the nessasary technologies to do all of this immediately needing only the will to do the jobs well.
  • The guideway vehicles are about 1/20th the frontal area of most commercial airliners but do not have to waste energy climbing to high altitudes to get to aircraft third the air pressure air drag.
  • This is a universal global public utility as a jet speed personal rapid transit or PRT global guideway that is cheaper to build to people’s homes than making streets and utilities that go to every property.
  • It is far cheaper to maintain and Operate single passenger and container sip of freight at airliner speeds over going door to door one smal van load at a time.  The international airport and major container port gets moved directly to all properties beside and inside all buildings.
  • You mostly no longer need to ship a thousand or even a hundred tons to one place at one time.  Like data packets on the internet allflows are separately integrate into large continuous traffic streams as people or processes need to regulate real time flow demands.
  •  Rented not owned mobile multi functional guideway moved capital equipment eliminates idle overhead investment costs.
  • The global guideway is a global or world wide machine like the phone and internet systems, only far more automated in the proposed designs.  We could have created this at any time in the last 135 years.  Nobody chose to try it, but a few came close, then tripped over their collective conventialisum.
  • Every global guideway comes with new form utilities of all kinds.  These usually should be less expensive than conventional energy, water, sewer, all communication and home intertainment services, trash all recycle collection and yard maintainence services.
  • The global guideway design combination is a robotic carrier for small powerful robotic electric running gear sets that attach like farm implements do to tractors to transform in pairs and combinations into tens of thousands of specialized types of equipment.  Using Catipellers term “universal tool carrier” they become the world’s standard heavy lifting and materials forming spot rental system.
  • Even factory forming and production processes could be carried out on rapidly guideway transportable rental anywhere fully automated production machinery.  A business calls up the line components that self assemble, make a run then move on in diverse pieces to form a production line or field or site work or materials handeling somewhere else in the world.
  • Guideway PRT pick up and delivery with no operator is cheaper than all of today’s heavy equipment.
  • This new standard mass production mobile machinery would be a good business for Cat and other equipment manufacturers to get into even without the guideway.
  • New design construction, materials handeling, mining and agricultural miniature automated electric battery change out tool carriers replace old human controlled systems and their whole industry design capital investment strategies and management infrastructures.
  • All of these equipment based industries provide ever smaller shares of employment anyway using ever larger and automated machines for a century or more since a couple of people  in a steam locomotive could drag thousands of tons of mixed goods across continents as fast as a horse could run.  Little faster today.
  • This an all purpose mobility operating fully elevated above all surface activities as a global to local fast as possible transportation replacement, free of all fuel burning, solar and wind power, most places.  
  • Electricity is provided less expensively than local natural gas and coal over time by guideway placed ultra deep, local almost everywhere on Earth, geothermal electric system.  Wind, solar, wave and hydro power require storage expenses or large scale mostly inactive high voltage grid costs almost everywhere.
  • All guideway users could get their electricity, water delivery, minimized sewage recycle and trash total recycled and carried away along with door to door jet speed postal and retail delivery service.  Everything comes along with the guideways including improved lower cost internet, cable TV and superior cell tower services.
  • All these built in guideway new services are cheaper because no human labor management or profits would be attached to the services.  No payroll, dividends, taxes, insurance, retirement, and medical overhead.
  • The guideway design is an roboticly installed accessory Erector Set of attachment rails, tubes and channels.  If you can imagine a fixed or vehicle based service the power and distribution infrastructure does not require local sales or service labor and facilities.
  • Unloaded of nearly all utility transportation and energy costs the rest of the global economy booms.  The cost of living for poorer classes, the cost of everything might drop by about two thirds of the present cost to make and deliver products and services.  global economy human cost overhead to about one third the present cost.
  • Poorer people will usually immediately spend this dividend excellerating growth through consumption driven demand.  Wealthier people would likely tend to spend this dividend away investing in high profit opportunities before spending to speed up economic growth.
  • The global guideway can be designed using proven basic PRT engineering and operational principles.  These have universally never before been applied to all purpose utilitarian transportation, at least that I can locate information on.
  • Instead we engineer constant improvements to previously used but functionally unimprovable and obsolet human labor based transportation that is technically not perfectable, basicly flawed systems that are management intensive modes.  Transportation supported by engineers and contractor suppliers creates for ever jobs for the owners and leaders.
  • All existing modes are beyond practical improvements of any kind.  Design, genetic like , technical birth defects are transferred inside all proposed transportation improvements based on never demonstrated mathematical assumptions and narratives of the existing infrastructure evolveing naturally toward perfection and too big to fail or we can not afford to reproduce the existing fixed facility access points.
  • These road based property access facilities are replaced in this proposal by a new set of at grade unimproved access points at every point under any portable guideway alignment.
  • Self lowering vehicles operating out of harms way fully above ground level activities are reachable at any point under a stop on line guideway.  These can only be PRT suspended monorail vehicles.
  • This is derived from barn hay loft monorails of the late 1800s to overhead traveling cranes and the Titan Industries self lowering access monorail handeling and passenger designs that were publicly known, tested, and proposed for industrial and military uses but never prototyped for general public and commerce use.
  • The guideways replace public buried utilities and the pavement and curb surface road flaws that mar every properties human utility and esthetics.  Because driveways, parking lots and 25% typical paved right of way urban land use is integral to modern existence we do not think of road vehicles as unsightly.  Urban light pole forests are tolerated but guideway piers and spans are easy xenophobic targets because they are unfamiliar and not equated with future personal opportunity improvement.
  • Instead of seeking supplier profit systems this proposal seeks user cost reduction, dramatically faster dispatched local response and increased trip speed with a streamlined constantly advancing global unified economy.
  • All products using this high speed low drag global guideway would be on average 1,200 miles away, only a couple of hours away from the end of a farm or factory output to the final user, non stop direct every where.  From the opposite side of the planet 12,000 miles is covered non stop in less than 22 hours.
  • Just like driving a personal car you can get off the guideway and leave to get food or use a restroom or serially pick up or unload.
  • Freight as well as passengers travel this fast since the energy cost of these skinny randomly mixed load trains and the vehicle cost to occupied time ratio is small.
  • The first factor is finding a minimalist scale of new economy practical utility.  I started calculating 38 years ago at a starting point of 32 square feet external body frontal area based on having hauled and traveled with thousands of load tons, trips, items numbering in the millions handled.  This quickly decreased to 9 squared feet frontal area at .05 coefficient of drag or Cd, in several analytic stages then shot back up and down between 12 and 18 square feet with various special oversized low mass per volume vehicles and hundreds of designs that changed shape to streamline larger cross sections.
  • compare this to trucks at 110 square feet at CDs of .8, freight railways at 150 square feet at CDs in multiple whole numbers, commercial aircraft at between 300 to 900 square feet at CDs of around .05 and larger ships with areas a third often in water of 2,500 to 30,000 square feet with poor drag coefficients in air and CDs of occasionally .05 under water and multipule whole numbers in air.
  • All of the conventional systems do not work easily without expert human crew and terminal facilities costs tripleing their operating costs as well as slow trip miles per day.  These factors and the high fuel cost of on demand energy multiply the cost of all deliveries into market places and make most tonnages local in a potentially global economy.
  • Evacuated tube and aerial mass and time decoupled vehicles also have utility to cost or trip activity limits that can be comparatively calculated.  Demonstration is always required but first we need this proposals upper limit prototypes to be built and tested to destruction and wear out.  Decoupled and repulsion free flight systems are not cost comparable or dipole polluting problems identified to know how they compare.
  • Size and linear weight changes in calculations  over the years made large differences in the ability to build low cost access guideways.  Size and mass independent value chains set their own limits based on market and user utilities.  All inputs in the calculations created new design problem goals and market possibilities.
  • These are the simple factors, the rest gets complicated but well within known component and structure demonstrations of inertial and cyclic stresses, friction and cost limits.
  • The guideway vehicles are self dispatched through on vehicle area cell tower isolated overlapping nets Not to be confused with the global internet or voice and data to 5G.
  • The vehicles self dispatch cooperatively only if they have no competitive profit goal in operation.  This can never be a competing corporate interests seeing who can get the customer first but only who can serve the customer user best and cheapest.  Vehicle and users are, instantaneously seen to the user ,sorted out and arrival pick up time presented to the user.
  • Every vehicle could pick up people and goods anywhere along or under the guideway access grids, like a mini car or truck automated taxi cab never needing any special station other than occasionally preferred all weather comfort interior lobbies at activity and commercial and residential main buildings.  Eventually residences tha can afford a garage and driveway will have a interior guideway portal connection to living quarters.  The vehicle designs haul like a truck, as cheap as a supertanker can transport by the ton but faster than commercial airliners.  All in one this systems specs should make them the best choice and least cost for every kind of mobility.
  • These guideway vehicles can be built to go through drive through service window lanes mixed in lines of personal and autonomus road vehicles
  • Every proposed guideway vehicle should have on board near guideway 150 feet to both sides fire fighting equipment at a small weight increase loading with 300 to 600 gallons of water when needed.  Every vehicle can serve as an ambulance to get people with medical emergencies to hospitals faster than today’s helicopters can even arrive at the emergency.
  • The guideway dementional and operation specifics allow it to be many times more energy efficient, a small fraction the user personal and commercial mobility cost, at least 200 times safer than roads and a range of nine to twenty times faster for all measures of goods and people movements by comparison with all other existing and future proposed transportation in 2019.
  • The global guideway vehicle is a tubular skinny body that self lowers by a cross strap hoist system to any place under a guideway to pick up and deliver.
  • Once loaded the high lift power to weight ratio ascender fast lifts and rapidly starts moving towards other vehicles going the same direction forming increasingly long trains of such vehicles.  Catching up to, or being cought up with, adjacient trains includes the trains splitting at a full speed switch and one or several vehicles fills the gap.  Zero room for error requires PRT style redundancy.
  • We can not foresee as yet totally unknown possibilities that might be compeditive with this. But it is unlikely any future system can match the lower guideway installed cost and full access every property guideway direct access grids everywhere that road vehicles are presently used.  Many places that are inexcessable by all exiting transportation are fully reachable with a guideway that can even be bolted to verticle rock walls, reached cheaply by the ultra light weight guideways.
  • This proposal consists of structural, mechanical and electric dimensioned speculative design specifics as well as many variations of first time mass production engineering systems needed to build it.
  • Sustainability here is absolute and has layers of continuing future plans, lesser alternatives and contingencies based off this 1981 starting point design optimization quest.  The basic global guideway design is based on applied physics, cost to benefits ratios and all known comparative design options.
  • All individuals have to benefit in the long run with their radically different economic situatatins, aspirations, work, lifestyles and industrial needs.  This is all handled by a single design, all purpose, do almost anything vehicle.  This suspended monorail race-car-truck-train workhorse can provide total mobility replacement, nearly unlimited, lower cost personal and commercial transportation at speeds thought impossible by conventional engineers.  New tooling and package electric plants can be place and service by the guideway two part mobility system then it distributes the electricity at little transmission cost for low user cost electricity.
  • This is the only article you will find, that I know of, that leads directly to permant universal almost unlimited energy and transportation possibilities that result in permant environmental improvements.  We can still waste the benefits provided or learn from the minimal scale in achieving the lowest cost at the highest just below sonic speed.
  • The obvious but rarely pursued way to lowest cost at the highest practical speed is lower frontal area, lower guideway interference drag, lower skin friction, lower cooling pumping losses lower normal conditions parasite drag and lower rolling friction.
  • This is histories first high speed vehicle design that uses direct electric propulsion that does not slip in traction.  Mass decoupling allows air or water attoms to slip, shockwave free, at hyper velocities around a aerial vehicle of large frontal area.  This guideway lives in real viscous friction so has to minimize at the same time frontal area per average ton or volume, smoothness and zero gaps or ridges between entrained either end forward vehicles with any vehicle able to take the front or rear position at a drag coefficient of under .06 to .05.
  • If you have a million tons of water to move you load three tons in each 20 foot long independent vehicle, join a couple hundred vehicles into a train or two and make round trips at 200 or more MPH.  The guideway vehicle water pipeline moves through the 1/800 water density air instead of moving the higher friction water through a pipe.  The drop in friction makes the mobile pipeline more efficient at higher speed.
  • Proposed here is the first known variable coil tap and mechanical variable integrated air gap control and mechanical contact in nitrogen reduced pressure commutation wheel motors.
  • Small fast vehicle trains are cheaper than large slow vehicles and beat commercial aircraft speeds.
  • This systems design should be permanatly neutrally sustainable for tens of thousands of years of massive human occupation of Earth.  This assumes no major industrial based fuel burning system we presently use remains to deplete resources and the thriving self sustaining ecology.
  • leveraging the global guideway’s early development stages requires the introduction of zero displacement and dynamic all SES lift roll and pitch control small frontal area highly elongated segmental sea trains to increase intercontinental traffic in becoming near aircraft speed tonnages and passenger movement.  These sea trains have been weakly proposed and never analytically designed.  They would burning no combustion fuel during and after the introduction of the Davis like cross ocean global guideway tube networks of minimal frontal area in air and ET3 land network connections.  Sea trains are needed to develope large scale seasteading and ocean based agriculture that produces ten times or more per atrifical average than land based fields.  Sea trains are described latter on in a separate website.
  • A global PRT guideway can eliminate all future practical needs for fuel burning By relying on local ultra deep geothermal electricity placed automatically by the guideway system as it advances supplying all energy needs from a local multi thousand year source.
  • Aside from the environmental oxygen increase and reducing acidification of the oceans, this leads to very low cost pollution free industrial to residential cheaper than the cheapest fuel use electricity.
  • The proposed design for aerodynamicly minimalist slender vehicles would have light weight high rim velocity chains of five to eight wheel motors that could develope 1,500 to 2,500 KW per 2,500 pound vehicles that are faster than present commercial jets
  • these vehicles provide personal and goods transportation at lower than heavy rail costs, everywhere door to door nonstop direct On new light weight per mile large open structure, large cross section suspended monorail spans.
  • The proposed vehicle designs can operate in trains at 90% of the speed of Hyperloop without the side span evacuated tube windage capital cost, at about double the energy requirement or about .5 cents more in electricity use per mile.
  • The difference is there are no airlocks and the vehicles can descend, station free, to load at ground level beside every property for direct door to door access on a world wide guideway network.
  • You could go to work every day from your house cross the commute distance at 100 MPH to 200 MPH at about 2 cents to 7 cents a user cost mile compared to 40 cents a mile for the least expensive to on average own and drive personal IC automobiles.  Fastest speed, most convenient access at the lowest user and societal costs likely ever practical.
  • Reducing span visibility is described further on.  This is less visually objectionable than the all present streets with vehicles running and parked everywhere on and around them.
  • This system is above all ground level activities and most structures.  You could walk bike everywhere with out crossing a guideway vehicle path once the last road vehicle operator switched from ar decade transport to fully elevated transport.  The universal first of a kind proposal vehicles carry all people and goods at presently unthinkable speeds and costs lower per mile than typical bicycling, with simpler automation accuracy, away from surface level hazards, up in the tree tops.
  • Every trip involves seeing scenery around you from the more pleasant second story high or higher level.  Further on is described a system tha lets you chose your viewing height level as you trave within options available on heavier traffic through lines to see your surroundings as if you were flying in an aircraft at the same or slow motion speeds described further on.
  • The fast, just over one ton universal use vehicles, spread their weight evenly out over the longest practical large diameter disc wheel suspended monorail beam length.  This is better than the original Whopertal Enos designs in the 1890s but never revisited in prototypes.  This allows lower guideway installation cost at less than about half the cost of maintaining existing streets and highways over time.
  • Full production and installation Systems component designs simplify activity tasks using fully automated mass produced and production and installation components.  This lowers the manual concrete based guideway design costs to about 1/10th to 1/30th the cost of often cabin guideway proposals at less than the cost of Transit X - Skytran style streamlined window pods.
  • This requires a different way to improve handicapt access for their universal independent mobility on this systems design.  Kids of almost any young age can more safely use this system to go where needed by themselves, including replacing school busses as described further on.
  • Narrow flat rim contact disc guidewheels and micro gear differential dual rim support and propulsion wheels are proposed to solve histories vehicle traction defect and rolling resistance problems.  None of this has elsewhere been publicly proposed.  This allows lower than flanged wheel railroad rolling resistance at greater than the best present traction motor efficiency map performance.  A possibly new variable attraction angle and axial unloading needle bearing arrangement increases the time between overhauls at turbine engine rim velocities exceeding an allowed about 950 feet per second straight guideway speed.
  • The faster the most efficient design vehicles are the fewer vehicles are needed to provide all mobility services to every body including all goods, water and materials delivery movements using the same in motion self converting vehicles.
  • Separately accessed vehicles close ranks with adjacent vehicles and trains of such vehicles going the same route.  This constantly makes more room for entering vehicles and reduces frontal area drag and energy use.
  • These tiny vehicles in numbers needed for each task at any given time replace the use of large trucks, ships, railroads and aircraft as well as all the uses we have for automobiles, busses, bicycles and longer walking trips.  One such vehicle on a fully connetted guideway network replaces about one semi, delivery or dump truck, as well as additionally about 10 to 15 automobiles or one commercial aircraft now needed for all mobility.
  • 65% of the present six trillion US personal miles are urban with about one third being between cities.  This will change rapidly as you could afford to commute on the global guideway from your homes property line vehicle access point to cities and rural areas hundreds of miles away as fast and cheaply as you commute today in a car to a near by job in town.
  • There has never before been a vehicle design even distantly close to this proposal.  The proposed internal systems and direct vehicle to vehicle and to local user cell phone communications network nurtures the connective needs of humans and all desirable institutions and businesses.
  • New forms of residential housing are proposed that can be present property improvement or built away from all conventional utility connections, needing only the guideway itself to provide at a lower cost environmentally neutral support systems including all financial service and self govornment needs.  This is using the proposed user guided software system for home occupant self management.
  • This proposal is for the basic dementioned designs of a jet aircraft speed, globally connected, self lowering anywhere under the guideway PRT type vehicle access directly to all properties, no stations needed anywhere.  This is instead of continuing to use unsustainable streets, rural roads and highway networks.  This is faster and many times more efficient than commercial aircraft.
  •  This is a self opportunity entraining personal rapid transit or PRT system.  Independently routing PRT guideway automated taxis and delivery trucks can run railroad efficient only if properly designed.  In trains well designed parallel sided vehicles become more efficient than railroads at about 1/15th the gap free frontal area and 1/90th or less the aerodynamic drag.  Lower drag per passenger or ton mile is converted into higher speed using a lower cost base load electric energy supply.  The fully automate guideways place the electric generation system that supplies the guideway’s and participating adjacent propertie’s electricity at about half to a fourth or less the cost of most fuel burning wire distribution electric utilities.  The guideway structure is the conductors.
  • This is proposing a global national government free transportation world by bringing all the world’s economies together as one.
  • This is libertarian local to global user directed transportation.  This is proposed as free enterprise transportation offered directly to property owners in mass then letting them in neighborhood groups decide on the alignments and forms of the services.  The user deciders have to be individually connected to internet or cell phones or feathered in frequent meetings.  Protecting from industry, investor and govornment manipulation becomes a complex problem as always.
  • Most govorments allow non interfering public utilities access to properties along streets, utility ROWs and alley ways.  The proposed design installation system can place several stake driven pier miles a day directly from the just installed last pier and span.  All machinery, parts and the few crew involved travel overhead on a separate set of service rails or underneath with the regular goods and passenger traffic.  This includes placing tight radius curves without any ground level equipment road access or crew.  Details are described further on in the menus pages.
  • A mediating constantly adjusting software is proposed to automatically try to smooth out differences between neighbors using a automation response system mimicking know human sucsessful mediator practices.  The mediating process requires the emerging AI idea recognition only in the areas required for sucsessful transactions redirecting to human consultants when cooperative progress breaks down.  Question and multiple choice answers combined with text user answers with local design outcomes returned taylored to each person’s choices.  Alignments and client property ID shown only for adjacent property owner privacy.  Result statistical comparisons are then constantly adjusted to show each design stage.  Service demonstration videos show different access forms connected to the global guideway network.
  • Companies make profits off the machinery they mass produce.  Users effectively become the collective on going management through a local to global public service guideway utility trust.  Users together become the default owners of the guideways and vehicles they use.  This would be a global coop or global public trust controlled by direct democracy.  This is a replacement for elected oligarchy forms of representative government presently common almost everywhere.  The automated management program creates a shadow democratic self regulating and management process administration, always subject to allowance by local govornments.
  • The way we organize transportation today benefits mostly sociopathic tending wealthy investors, politicians and executives.
  • The world bank shows the 30 year global fuel based infrastructure needs at about $34 trillion for roads, $28 trillion for electricity, $11 trillion for railroads, $15 trillion for for telecommunications, $8 triiion for water transportation.  Add to this about $70 trillion for vehicle and equipment fleet replacement and third world additional vehicles and equipment at possibly $15 trillion and facilities additions no longer need by the global guideway at an additional one time surplus saving of about $50 trillion and fuel based energy savings at about $60 trillion in 30 years and you have about three to four times the cost using the present fuel burning infrastructure compared to the here proposed designs and installation systems for the all new infrastructure replacing global guideway.
  • The global economy would be speed up in velocity of money increase, reduction in inventory drag on the velocity of money, an improvement by as much as three times in average individual human productivity time to individual consumptive values and a brick wall stop of the increase in environmental degradation by separating land and industrial water uses from the ecosystem’s requirements.

This proposal is fearful in it’s uniquly unfamiliar components that in my life time I have never heard of, myself reading everything extensively.  I am interested in ideas that might improve or refine a ultimately best human future.  All questions, objection and additions are appreciated.

  • The heavy equipment that is operator centric that is presently used to install or transport anything or build buildings, run farms, build and maintain everting is replaced by autonomous universal guideway scaled tool carriers.  Big operator controlled equipment become too heavy and slow and is no longer needed.  No transportation fuel storage refinery or super site clean up costs, no contaminated aquifers, no acidfied ocean costs and the present gas station fuel distribution systems costs.
  • PRT systems were first thought of as fully automated mail and goods carriers in the 1880s to 1920 eras, then forgotten about until a single proposer in 1953.  It was not until 1968 that the idea started to spread world wide.
  • This system is configured as an all purpose global public utility all electric guideway span, steel not copper or aluminum conducted electric grid and transportation system.  Read everything you can on PRT transportation systems and you will still lack 99% of what is detailed here.
  • How do you describe a system we could have developed over a hundred years ago that would have bypassed this whole fuel burning era we now live in?  This design set is what smart cell phones and the internet are compared to telegraph communications in comparing the global guideway advances to all present public utilities government and business administrated transportation and energy systems.
  • This is about an all new fully elevated totally station or platform free suspended monorail transportation infrastructure.  This should best be powered by local sourced ultra deep geothermal shafts bored by fully automated flame slotting, segmental core, cog gear ascender removal boring machines placed by the advancing PRT guideways every few miles.
  • The guideway power grid builds the guideway industries, provides logistics and construction energy, sinks all new ultra deep geothermal shafts that provides the energy incrementally replacing all fuel burning and most wind power systems at lower user cost.
  • Autonomous packaged turbo expander generator sets in several units would be placed to provide electricity to the guideway’s structural conductor built in loop main power grid.
  • Mass production like for automobiles lowers all the component cost along with the fully automated distribution and sales system with turers would at first make profits and be in competition with each other for improvements and lowest cost.
  • As energy demands increase, more closed cycle high rim velocity generator condenser compressor sets and side thermal extraction hole drilling units would be placed at each shaft to keep up with demand.
  • Replacing 30 to 50 year present accepted cycles of overlapping incremental infrastructure capital investment cycles of all the existing global infrastructure costing just over 100 trillion dollars per cycle.  To move these cycles out to 200 or more years at a lower cycle cost we need all new forms of infrastructure.  This requires radically more efficient systems that must move from reliance on the present legacy obsolete industrial infrastructure to a more efficient stand alone local energy infrastructure.
  • You can not carry out a war that destroys such infrastructure as well as during the deepest snow, worst ice Storms, floods , tsunamis, most earthquakes this PRT Design remains portionally operational when all other systems stop operating until cleared or repaired.
  • Using local cheaper amortized investment fuel cost free electricity to power everything is the core.  The proposed often over ten miles deep geothermal has an continuing energy cost in the cost of the turret drill packs that will have to constantly drill new spaced out holes that will be depleted in energy regressively over decades to centuries.  First drilled holes can become pre heaters for latter drilled holes.  Changing the binary gas mix used both for extraction and in the turbines can over time improve generating efficiencies as strata temperatures decline giving a reprieve from momentary new investments.  Always over time new extraction holes will have to be added along with new shaft depth and divergent angled new shafts added over the centuries from the first main shaft. Rural communit and area generators might be good for 5,000 to 20,000 years depending on population densities and industrial consumption.  At a certain point a global ocean geothermal extraction system and electric grid will be needed.
  • Artificial SES type floating islands may be cheaper than land occupation returning vast areas of less productive farm land to natural habitats. This is far less costly than coal mining and oil drilling where the easy locations are extracted first leaving more expensive difficult supplies for the future.  Of course the acidification of the oceans and lakes and the heating of the atmosphere to unlivable levels will happen in the next century of fuel burning as we do today.
  • This is a battery free world system.  No energy storage is needed at all, not even at levels of vehicle batteries.  Electricity is feed multi directionally from closely spaced multi redundant sources.  Overload on every vehicle demand response and shorting fused protections do not stop mobility or isolate vehicles in catastrophes.  Emergency vehicles on the guideway might have batteries for unique possibilities but rarely need them.  Every guideway vehicle proposed here can be equipped for ambulance, adjacent fire fighting and police assistance.
  • Residential or industry PV or wind systems get back up power from the guideway.  There need be no  competition between utilities if the users collectively democratically make all administrative decisions not special interest influenced decisions.
  • The locally available geothermal energy under the whole planets area exceeds all the oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear power by many tens to thousands of times without polluting the atmosphere.  Over thousands of years each geothermal well, about 20 miles apart, can access around 1600 cubic miles of hot rock between 7 to 11 miles deep, efficiently extracting over time the equivalent energy of about 300 million barrels of oil in thermal energy per cubic mile.  This is based on a posted estimate, not my own calculations.  I am not sure what the bottoming condenser temperature and efficiency was for this shallower resource estimate.  This is unlimited steady state fuel free local electricity for between about 10,000 to 100,000 years of highly technical human needs for around ten billion people, without adding any solar or wind power to the base load steady state supply extending our our energy based future to the liveable life of our sun and survivable preparations for random galactic radiation bursts.
  • The proposed production engineering systems to access these large shaft diameter geothermal miles deep production zones cheaper than we drill small diameter shallower oil wells today will be described in the menu addendum pages.
  • To do all of this requires making the total replacement global utility guideway systems components and their automated decision making self management systems much lower in user first year costs including debt retirement rate than the lowest cost possibilities presented by all other systems possibilities.  This has to be compared to all of the present choices trying to improve the existing 90% road based transport system and the fuel burning economy.
  •  If you can not find a user desirable replacements for not just  part of the use of roads but all uses of roads you will still need to maintain road property access most places.  The guideways allow properties to no longer be defined by road right of ways.  We gain back 25% or more of urban land areas and 5% rural areas by eliminating any future need for roads.  Drainage fast runoff problems are reduced and the materials from road removal can become chanel and dam surfacing and thermal mass construction blocks for buildings.  The PRT guideway components can make whole site integrated automated portable construction crane system for the first time fully automating agriculture and building construction and rehabilitation.
  • Roads, rivers, railroads and canals, are also guideways but often hundreds of times larger in land area consumed, linear materials mass of these earthen supported surface based systems requiring ongoing capital maintenance and replacement costs.  None of any common trips in vehicles are going cross country without a road guideway for usually all or occasionally the ends of mixed mode transfer trips.  Airports and harbors do not require guideway or right of way costs but their facilities costs at connecting points and operational costs over time by comparison can build cross ocean high speed low cost per ton mile guideway tubes.
  • This proposed elevated light weight span guideway using micro geared, tungsten shell, geared  wheel to rail contact surfaces allow lower wear and energy cost than all the other known vehicle choices, including maglev as presently known.  Reducing frontal area drag is most important once you reach fkat contact hard wheel on hard rail rolling friction reduction and zero electrical slip propulsion motor efficiencies.  Evacuated tubes are many times faster than the just suso ic trains described here and will eventually replace this proposal for most then all door to door transportation.  When you can travel a thousand mile trip in twenty minutes instead of two hours at the same or lower cost why would you not want to invest in the future ET3 system?  The reason is immediate access cost and the at least three times cost of the directly connecting infrastructure and problems of handeling over sized loads as the top maintainence rails of the guideways can carry the large spans and even tubes needed for the ET3 system but the ET3 system needs airlocks to oass through internally carried loads.  It is possible to overcome these problems as described further on and build the ET3 bypassing this slower just subsonic system.  First we need a very good form of maglev.
  • Air vehicles require high energy for movement support at about 30 to 40 times this proposed guideway hard tires that have zero propulsion slippage when the motors are operated syncronusly at part loads or cruise speeds even in trains at 650 MPH.  Reducing single high frontal area loading asynchronous running time increases motor efficiency to the mid ninety percentile range.
  • Mass decoupling that is inexpensive might be a practical aero vehicle system if it can ever be environmentally neutrally mass produced.  Then aero vehicles might replace fixed maximum hard running surfaces guideways.  No such system has ever been publicly demonstrated or even described understandably in the physics literature to this time.
  • Proposed here is total desirable tearing up and grassing over of eventually all streets, parking lots, driveways, even rural roads and never looking fondly back wishing you could return to the good old days of road railroad and air vehicle use.  Recreational and historical vehicle use will continue at inconsequential effect on the environment.
  • A global ET3 system will be developing at the same time but at about three times the direct property access cost.
  • To do this requires miniaturizing a single mode all purpose guideway system that moves on a single standard design light weight suspended monorail span.  Suspended monorail is required to allow every vehicle to drop to ground level for anywhere loading and unloading.  The ten strap cable direct gearless hoist drive options are describe in the index menu page.
  • These all new guideways are above us running over the top of and not interfering with all land uses underneath.  Pier spacing to not interfere with property uses can be widely varied infinitely due to the at every joint active expansion and precarch continuous span attachment designs.  At a greater span cost piers can be spaced out with suspended spans several hundred feet between support points.
  • These nearly all oneway PRT network grid elevated spans would from many engineering and logistics studies be able to carry more people, tons or cubic yards of goods or commodities per hour than three lanes of pavement or a one way heavy railway track.  PRT automation means there is no need to group vehicles together for human dispatch and operator cost reduction, only to improve efficiencies at high speeds.  Almost continuous trains are possible, but not safe or practical not eliminating strategically organized open spaces to accommodate entering and leaving vehicles.  Using the geothermal power generators as locations to save up resistance dynamic breaking in the upper thermal well mass would allow almost unlimited fairly efficient regenerative braking without needing batteries. Locally during a overload high traffic emergency stop radiant resistor strips on the guideway can locally dissipate infrared energy or in extreme situation visible spectrums into the air and other surfaces around the spans.  No fear no fires started here.  Similar resistance can be placed on the vehicles bypassing the conductor system but adding cost to the vehicles.  You only need to dissipate the energy off the vehicle stopping rapidly from 650 MPH to do the job.
  • To do this all, we need to increase the vehicle speed and develope high speed in motion constant entering and leaving of trains of PRT vehicles on converging and diverging grids loops, all at very high speed.
  • To make this competitively practical we need to lower the linear costs and volume carried cost of the guideway compared to fully automated electric direct roadway power pick up truck costs on existing always slower more energy per ton mile roadways.   Road fatalities are about 1.3 million people a year more all the time bing poker pedestrians that have to walk in developed countries.  A automated level 5 version of Daryl Osters’s Mopod might be produced for under $2,000 to $5,000 that could be cheaper to give or subsidies for all poor people to use than using busses or rail mass transit systems getting pedestrians off of streets and fuel burning engines out of road vehicles.  The best electric fully autonomous cars and trucks would still be limited to hazardous travel on roads on average at about 10% of the speed of the guideway vehicles that travel in a no interference hazard free zone 20 feet or higher overhead.
  • We need to fully automate the mass production And installation of everything to reduce the new systems cost over using the old road system with new autonomous vehicles that will always be slower but lower in initial vehicle and right of way combined cost.  The charging infrastructure and battery cost is much higher than the direct electric pick up electric cost of the global guideway.  The resistance and chemical conversion losses of a battery powered road vehicle network is much higher than direct pick up on hard tire traction than rubber tires traction with batteries.
  • the guideway fully autonomous or no central control of any kind, PRT vehicles need to provide users with Individually helpful services for all user needs.  Think of all the ways you would want a robot vehicle to serve you and help you to feel good about a new form of more reliable relationship.  Vending machines have no prejudices when you give them your money and they offer you a service.  Vending machine owners can be greedy profit only schemers or just make a get by living businessman in setting prices for products offered.  Proposed here is proportional piecing constantly being adjusted to cover costs and new system access amortization.  The global users should be given the detailed facts and allowed to set rates to reflect continuance and extension of services.  New area users have to separately make choices as to how important it is to them to be intamently connected directly to the rest of the world and set their local debt retirement unit transportation cost figures to produce their democratic ly chosen local values.
  • The solution needs just the right minimalist vehicle cross section and linear load scale to handle nearly all commonly shipped items in the smallest lightest frontal area as well as all personal transportation needs In the same small as practical vehicles.
  • Keeping the lowest practical frontal area or about that of a motor cycle and rider at the lowest possible coefficient of dynamic drag keeps energy levels as low as possible alowing higher speeds while using less energy.
  • With the small vehicles of the right design or form we no longer need any large vehicles to justify operator costs.  Large vehicles require heavy pavements, railway, airport, canal and harbor investments.  These would no longer need to be funded as their operating systems comparatively cost more per ton mile and passenger mile at lower speeds.
  • Personal time and the time of all manufactured goods have counter productive  costs slowing speed or increasing time in movement slows economic growth just as slowing the velocity of money or consumption turn over slows growth in personal and global economies.
  • All personal rapid transit called PRT guideway vehicles need to be self lowering for anywhere access and emergency egress under the suspended monorail beams.  The vehicles can stop and lower their bodies to ground level anyplace under the guideways on the 95% of guideway grid loop or blocked miles that are side street and rural access road equivalents.  Like side streets, these access stop on line guideway sections need to have little traffic so the vehicles can stop on line without holding up following vehicles.  Following low traffic vehicles can slow to wait a user prescribed access time or go around a stopped vehicle On adjacent grid routes.
  • A PRT vehicle can know of operational situations and entering vehicles miles ahead to predict choices the vehicles should make.  Few automated programs do this today only onboard each vehicle.  Presently they relying on central traffic control and despatch systems. Proposed here is zero central management.  This is not block chain but it is cooperative local control only on the cooperating always moving block vehicles using a simple multivinductive conductor path vehicle position and speed location system that was possible 120 years ago  This system communicates with with any nearby user cell phone or internet connected computer as a user dispatch connection with widening ring areas seeking passing empty vehicle capacities of specified types.
  • Every few miles the vehicle would reach a main street or expressway like grid where stopping accept for emergency egress is not allowed.  This increases speed from about 200 MPH on straights on unoccupied access grids to in stages reach 650 MPH running on the in air entrained grids.  About five miles acceleration and deceleration lane distance or off and on ramps from zero to full speed.  Lower speed 200 to 400 MPH grids would serve denser urban areas using much shorter ramp lengths or the ramps can be treated like continuos side access roads on expressways.
  • Elevated stations, airports, commercial harbors and terminals, transit and  freight railroad and bus stops and terminals would no longer be needed anywhere as most warehouse operations would cease to be competitive.  With same day delivery from the far side of Earth taking less than 24 hours and most continental movements taking one to eight hours there is usually no reason to mass local warehouses full of idle products.
  • This proposal is an eliminator of transportation jobs and energy investor wealth.  This is in compensation a massive cost of business and cost of living reduction booster to all other individuals with effective outcome wealth gains in the total output of the global economy over time.
  • We have now experienced global access information and communications where ever we are on our smart phones.  This proposal is how to achieve the same physical not information access response globally, from every place to every place, door to door nonstop direct on average faster than any commercial jet can fly home to home.
  • It will take about four decades to complete the first 30 million guideway miles.  Since this is happening here and there a little at a time each year the costs and economic displacement problems are stretched out.  Fully automated electric truck introduction will happen much faster in the next decade alone because the world wide road systems are already built to run on.  Electric trucks can be cheaper than railroads if they have less damaging load distribution and lower frontal area drag.  ThecTeslactruck is less than one eighth as efficient as other designs can be.  This can be covered latter on in a competing systems web site.
  • For global guideway to work best a whole new kind of running gear and suspended monorail system is proposed As described further on.
  • Every building on the planet or residential door becomes the direct access now serviced by automobiles and trucks for most people and by foot for poorer people.
  •  The proposed guideway PRT taxis that are also all purpose global and local to long distance trucks are designed for the first time to be fully capable of wheel borne electric motor propelled continuous separate vehicle travel at sea level at just over 400 MPH using about 1500 KW of energy, based on many salt flats speedster examples and usually at the lower altitudes operated in.
  • This single vehicle speed is operating with a high wear and energy charge making it several times more expensive than a vehicles proceeding more slowly waiting to be smoothly joined by a passing train of such vehicles operating more efficiently at much higher shared frontal area energy efficiency speeds.  Momentary single vehicle speeds exceed the speed of sound so they will not be run over by a unaware approaching trains that cannot have a collision anyway.
  • These 2,00 to 2,500 pound unladen vehicles about 3.5 feet in exterior diameter and between about 17 to 28 feet over the flat ends will be tubular with the flat ends containg a 3:1 aspect ratio accordion inflated streamlined cones for separate and end operation drag reduction.
  • In operation one guideway vehicle’s full time services replaces about the people and goods movements of 15 each of the average mix of the just over 2.5 billion cars, trucks, railway cars, ocean and channeled ships and barges and commercial and private aircraft In daily use.  At any time on average 95% of the world vehicle fleet is parked waiting for use, in storage, in repair or reserve, being sold or scraped or being loaded.
  • These global guideway vehicles are prposed to be specificly designed for all component and structure pit stop repairs of plug and go replaced externally accessed components.  Not even race cars are usually designed this way other than tire changes.
  • These vehicles get all of their energy directly from a new form of pickup rail located deep inside the guideway so they never have to stop or unlimited range.  A vehicle train could travel a loop putting on 5.6 million miles in a year non stop assuming no breakdown occurred.
  • About three gallons of onboard water and a soap supply cleans out their commodities bladder that is blow dryed while in route to pick up other granular or liquid materials they are rated to carry between passenger and package, containerized items or moving households and compact furniture and automated tool carriers that replace the more expensive use of large farm, construction , mining and materials handeling industrial machinery.
  • The vehicles can travel in trains safely using the first in history proposed wheel motor designs at a little over twice the speed of sound using their collective power.  But they would produce damaging shock waves and a twin loud noise on passing louder than two shot guns going off sequentially near you.  They would be limited to about 650 MPH where the soundofca train or single vehicle on passing at full speed closely overhead would be similar to about a fourth of that of a F-15 passing overhead at the same speed throttle off.  This is more like a loud but short swishing sound.  This comparison is based roughly on frontal area and hollow section reverberation differentials with the low high speed fighter pass example observed at a Thunderbirds air show several decades ago.

This is a shocking proposal to conservative people who will immediately suspect that building 40,000,000 miles of brand new guideways will cost hundreds of trillions of dollars.  About $60 trillion would likely buy the whole global system and the first 300 million all purpose vehicles that replace the whole of the world’s existing transportation fleets and building four times more base load ultra deep geothermal electric power capacity using only the fully automated guideway for construction.

Incrementally the guideways might pay for themselves amortizing out to a service cost lowering from about half of auto and truck use segmentally calculated global cost to less than a tenth the comparative user cost over time as first systems debt retirement is rolled over to build subsequent installations in proceeding decades.  The user cost becomes steadily less only if the guideways are self owned in the interest of all the user demanded benefits.  This is portrayed as a global user direct democracy trust with a non secret user voting record as a cross check giving each user a paper record for validation when required.

The possible costs over the first decade will likely be ever less, based on probable improvement that can be roughly projected.  The first half a decade of mass production will likely find defects that might raise costs over projections.  As these can not be forseen projections have to be based on similar machinery and structure costs in fully automated mass production with adjustments for scale and materials differences.

This lowers electric rates and personal mobility and directly delivered product costs over using the existing global distribution systems as a bonus to guideway direct access to guideway connected users as an inducement to support conversion.

People commonly get into automobiles directly sitting down into their seats through small doors.  Automobiles have no stand up access isles or onboard bathrooms.  Yet people take daily short to and long cross country multi day trips without feeling at a loss for service.  Just as in using automobiles the global guideway vehicles are at the instant change of occupants mind in route or stop control of their single choice occupants only vehicles.  This means if you get hungry or have to use the restroom you can come to a stopping place in about one minute from just below the speed of sound.  Restrooms and open restaurants are usually farther apart by time in slow road vehicles.  It takes less time to get to where the rider or user demands using the global guideway.  This is actually about half to a third the real time door to door trip speed of averaged multi mode and wait airline flights and air freight special delivery near by to globally.  The longer the single leg trip the less the differential.  Automaticly extending reclining seats can reach outside the vehicle to let the user sit down from a standing position under the weather protection of the gull wing whole side door, then the seat elevates and semi reclines the user into the minimal vehicle cross section with ample head, arm and shoulder room.  More clearance than is on most first class airliners.

The guideways will set the harizon level almost everywhere on views above average lower building tops but not above most trees.  Proposed is planting vines that grow up around piers and onto spans in temperate to tropic zones and colomer and other evergreens arround the poles.  The spans can be painted in varigated background colors and patterns color coded to mostly be visually unobtrusive from ground levels Based on sight level video analyses keyed to the back grounds they are in front of.  Reflective coatings that take on the seasonal colors of their surroundings are possible.  Look at it this way the guideways are less visually aborant than the streets parking lots and highways full of colorful cars and trucks with occasional billboard advertising on their sides and all the power poles 

, traffic lights, street signs and street lights the global guideway totally replaces with lawns, fields and trees.  No more surface slabs other than a network of uninterrupted bike paths everywhere a totally safe walkable world.  Even nearly all use of advertizing signs goes away with the advent of guideway use replacing auto use.  People locate places they want to patronize on their phones and the guideway interior screens that present stable pictures unlike the soundings flashing by at hundreds of miles per hour.  Why spend money on a sign when almost nobody will see it?

My wife always wanted to slow down so she could enjoy scenery.  Prior guideway vehicles could be taking locally recorded images of the scenery passed through, then retransmitted on request to be projected on the interior screens at a slower speed.  The guideway video cameras pick up real time passing scenery projecting these scenes or any chosen scene on interior screens that replace windows.  The cameras are on average located 25 to 30 feet above the ground slow down a little bit the blinding speed sense of motion.  Windows are no longer a viable option as they increase the weight, purchase cost and operating costs of advanced vehicles.  Even the Musk Space X BFR is improperly presented with windows.

The industrial world is miniaturizing or shrinking in it’s foot print and need for human labor.  I am writing this sitting in the center of over a hundred square miles of abandoned to little used industries on the south side of Chicago through Hammond Indianna down to Gary.  As I drive through these areas even the huge buildings that rose everywhere and their former always connecting rail yards are shrinking replaced by highways that are unsustainable.

Lowering all mobility cost with higher speed

High speed delivery saves product and personal time in route.  Distant jobs, product suppliers and service choices become reachable by all.  Even better eventually products and services come to people instead of people having to go where they are.

Moving a household anywhere in the world involves filling a bunch of PRT vehicles by one crew with furniture and possessions get in another and travel to the new home and unpacking the loaded vehicles one at a time, as they arrive to another crew at the destination or called as needed from opportunistic access grid storage loops.

Locally people through democratic governments can buy up  and repurpose older obsolete offices, factories, warehouses and big box store facilities and open them up for low cost housing new production shops and self perpetuating, often non profit robotic industry rebuilding.  There are wage earning jobs that infuse local economies with cash circulation even with globally non profit industries that are user democracy controlled.

user democracies and social assistance programs for disabled or unenthusiastic people are considered socialism or communism a threat to capitalist wealthy investor gains.  This is pure ideal socialism but with a difference in that all people are in control and most of the assistance comes from free for service global scale universal robotic industries that have no profit motive.  Taxes should not support guideway construction and operations that are collectively controlled daily Democratic ly by the users.  No leaders or elected committed of any kind should ever take control.

The guideway production machinery vehicles and tool carriers have to be manufactured and serviced.  Robotic systems have to be improved on.  New products not yet imagined can emerge.

Presently nonproductive administrative tasks and even computer programming needed by manipulating data systems software will become mostly obsolete professions.

The wasteful illusions of benefits from govornment management can be adaptable codefided with situational matching judgement systems comparing wording as ideas, still not AI, eliminating a need for lawyers, judges, police and armies.  Together eliminating administration is and additional 30% or so cost savings beyond the 60% plus cost savings eliminating layered market delivery systems.  We are left with a fourth or less the cost of current living economies.  Left is eliminating religious overhead costs as a personal preference with nearly free life time computer organized school and university freed life time nonstop education systems and socialization without needing Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, prostitution, recreational drugs smoking and bars.

New forms of near zero cost listing advertising resulting from free guideway search systems, more like Wikipedia, guide people to what they want using more local automatic guideway installed shared dispersed server farms as data costs settle out at reduculosly low levels per unit of stored information.  The library of Congress example becomes a local access data base.  Global Wikipedia becomes the town libraiy holding.  Local dispersed information travels and loads faster than distant retrieval’s.  Rarer items might take a extra few mili seconds.

Personal information is personal unless you want to sell or anounce something.  Cold call and Email banner advertising serves little function accept to make product costs higher entrap us guleable people in buying things and services we do not need so amoral presentation leveragers can make a profit.

Guideway spontaneous trips to meet new people with shared adventure experiences are every day occurrences if you choose.  Like the Maroons in Jamaica happiness tends to displace crime and greed.

The guideway vehicles and service systems are dispersed servants of peoples whims.  The Forbidden Planet Creel machine if you want, but not using the neural network for shared mind guidance.

Classicly it is always assumed that improvements are sponsored through wealthy and powerful leaders who live in mansions.  Most ideas come from engineers and technicians who get little credit and normal incomes.  Redirecting capital investment works with mid level managers and accountants who can look at technical value from the collective users or economic growth advantage instead of the rewarding profiteers advantage.

The guideways can make square miles of enclosed mines and military facilities into habitats.  Under ground the guideways can operate without polluting the air.  Ozone from contactor sparking needs to be avoided.   The short small vehicles can travel through miles of seven by five foot vertically oblong tunnels at lower speeds.  Two way rounded  tunnels that are twice as wide allow air pressure circulation reducing interference drag making 100 MPH plus movements still economical.  Mass decoupling might increase this speed to beyond the speed of sound.  Cavern aging without collapse or flooding indicates habitability over time as surface conditions change.  Visual lighting can be provided by posporesent plants and funguses augmented by LEDs that turn on when a brighter environment is needed in a human occupied space.  The same isolated space agriculture systems can enhance the underground environment.  Sedimentary and crystal cave artifacts can be preserved where they add to wall decor.

Deep geothermal wells can power underground economies as well as surface economies but need heat dissipation to the surface   after a low moisture room temperature environment is reached.  Most mines and caves are in the nearer surface average temperature zone not gaining much heat from below.

The proposed geothermal shaft sinking system might bore a foot a minute consisting of possibly two to three one ton direct pick up electric drive ascenders and a core slotting and snap machine making verticle to highly diagonal, usually two to three foot holes that are sliced by about half inch flame cut slots into three pie slice pieces.  Lifting the third cores that might weigh two tons to the surface to be stacked till a use is found for them.  No well or mine Derrick is needed on the surface only a hanging rack for the tools and guidewy delivered down hole rail system.  Lifting parts down and rock out requires a lot of speed as the distance to typical production zones are over nine miles down using no truely heavy equipment.

Global direct PRT style door to door delivery with a non profit internet search system, that does not game economies, adds less to final user paid manufactured product costs than the present over 60% distribution markup for an average of all products.

The goal here is that the guideway becomes a public mobility charitable service not a designed for market nitch for profit business.  This means that average to poorest income people at 95% of the world’s population become 90% of the global economy instead of 60% to 70% as is the present case.  Reducing overhead facilities and construction machinery costs needed to maintain and constantly upgrade large scale slow pass through distribution businesses is the goal.

Wealthy people have more opportunities because their besetting cost of living share declines to achieve wider personal opportunities.  Everybody effectively owns a personal business jet in guideway access with global range.

The cost of maintaining the non habitation production distribution and govornment military infrastructure declines with robot systems replacing human labor cost, mostly cost in the management labor share of economies.  Govornment management declines to zero cost over time with non paid direct democracy using open discussions.  Volunteer govornment rules the world under adoption of common law best practices that have proven themselves to work.  Why constantly the needing to reinvent the wheel when the wheels work well without deteriorating environments and you cannot ship or travel much faster anyway.  Instead we need to select from established social designs integrated into a global city that is plug and play with no leaders.  Sim City like decision making becomes the leadership distributed over the inhabitants, only the building is for real not virtual.  Personal assistants remind people to keep themselves and their surroundings neat and clean and in good repair.  People might be encouraged to help each other.  Laziness is often the result of lacking connections, imaginative ideas and funding or help.  My personal accumulation of everything is a substitute for not having personal activities for excitement.

Limited gardening and food creation might be better than having large cut grass yards as status symbols as these require nonproductive maintainence.

As the speed of access increases, machinery and tools that use to sit idle between application is designed as standard tool carriers to be mobilized for the service of the next active user world wide.  Investment in resources pay off faster if they are mobile and shared.

New global remote quality control uses the face time intantainious features of smart phones to put every person and machine vision system in nearly instant contact in the far side of the planet so remote viewing does not require cumbersome skills we no longer possess if we ever did have ultilitarian abilities like this.  Making quality certification for societies that are globally disconnected but same day product delivery accessable needs direct guideway carried distributed communications.  You can look in on the farms and factories where your products come from.

High speed at maximum efficency mobility for every purpose solves most economic problems if it is cheap enough in infrastructure cost to self install to every property directly using PRT routing principles in place of street and rural road systems.

All current transportation systems have fairly fixed cross section to length, size and shape geometries so they are shakled to a increase in speed being an approximately square root increase in dynamic drag energy costs and somewhat similar increase in component and running surface wear cost.  Longer guideway train formation as a constantly changing operational variable can change the conventional economic speed to energy and vehicle investment cost and practical activity range calculations.  Small vehicles individually carry out pick up and deliveries, short to long trains increase the speed at lower energy use.  Most product delivery miles are under 100 miles in length.  The figures will increase for guideway economies where speed increases at lower cost per unit miles increases activity and market ranges through direct delivery.

Every trip might be proportionally billed differently based on user selected best options or choices, higher speed verses more trip economy,  more scenic route at a more leisurely speed or shared vehicle multi pick up and delivery like dial-a-ride PRT minibuses or cabs and guideway route or on demand convienience stores that come to homes.  The cost of convieniece of small inventory displays that come to you instead of large fixed facility inventories you need to go to is uncertain.  Recreational shopping is also uncertain as compared to practical shopping motives.

With the seats being distributed in small vehicles adding and subtracting capacity means just rerouting empty vehicles to the nearest users so excess capacity does not have to wait but travels in long sections of trains for almost free sharing the frontal area drag with low skin friction surfacing or electric field side skin friction reduction.  Global to local users call up from nearly unlimited global vehicle inventories able to shift capacities at the speed of sound or faster half a world away in a days time.  Predicting cyclic needs instantly using an on board unmet capacity call system.

Elongating loads behind the smallest practical frontal area reduces aerodynamic drag energy waste.  Hard slip free wheels on rails Eliminates most movement support friction.   Large diameter chain sprocket like tiny teeth step across humped rack gears with minimal engagement slippage and material shear loss.  Tight air gap electric motors with permanent out runner magnet rotors and elongated coil step taped reduction of CEMF and flux reduction in voltage control at lower throttle or torque settings.  This eliminates motor cost and reduces energy waste for very high power to weight ratio mobility systems.

Proposed is a hard surface, barrel, point or line, mostly slip free contact gear traction, electric rim drive wheel motor in-line motor chains that form the running gear of every tiny vehicle.  The flat chain of wheel motors is to reduce the frontal area for the highest power possible in a tiny light weight electric vehicle.  This is the power to weight ratios of the fastest jet fighters in a fully automated tiny overhead guideway universal utility taxi- delivery truck.

Deepest snow, ice, fog, most flooding, driving rain, hail, large animals, bird flocks, most forest fires, for specific reasons do not slow or stop these guideway trains.

Snows deeper than the guideways are off the ground would see these vehicles punching their own tunnels through as  excessive drifts accumulate.   Snow removal from the tops of spans migh take several forms to reduce sag but eventually a snow tunnel might be formed then cleared before melt collapse in warmer weather or from higher traffic load heating.  Recognizing collapse conditions and remedies has to be programmed into each passing vehicles sensors that also see tree limbs protruding into vehicle paths, needing trimming by robotic machines.

The standard vehicles would be about 14 feet long over the flat cylindrical ends and about 32 feet to 36 feet long with both streamlining inflated end cones extended.  Vehicles with 25 feet and longer might be used for carrying structural sections.  Special vehicles tha carry longer yet sections might flex around corners with through openings on one side like ribbon rail trains.

Many larger and smaller cross sectional variant can be developed for larger sized items.  The nesting accordion inflated ends might fill the gaps with tapered transition streamlining between the adjacent larger and smaller vehicles.  The larger vehicle might have to pay several times the energy cost as the small vehicle unless it was running in a train of same sized vehicles proportionally priced per unit of area.

Each vehicle could be loaded down with one to two tons of goods or commodities but on average would be carrying about 500 pounds.  Normally 200 foot long to 2,000 plus foot long trains of such vehicles with about 15 to 150 vehicles would pass by as often as about every three seconds carrying mostly about 500 pounds cargo or one person and possessions per vehicle.

This is like a semi load of goods or bus load of people or the same load of people mostly one at a time in cars today.  Every three seconds times the average vehicle train length dictated by the speed of the guideway at a given point.  Following traffic speeds are adjusted by the speeds that change from conditions ahead.

This as a three foot diameter by about four inch wide wheel increases regular speed to usually 650 MPH on all nearly straight guideways or about 10 times faster than average highway road vehicle speed between and through cities on freeways.  This is about 15% faster than most very large frontal area commercial jets fly at.  The standard wheel motors should be strong enough to touch on well over twice the speed sound.

Narrow motors reduces the unsupported slot width and length meaning full high speed switch or turn out length and cost reduction.

Being able to stableize the gear wheel pitch diameter while in motion and keep the wheel balanced seems like an impossibility to over come stresse expansion and thermal wheel diameter expansion.  These are the issues that require a test track to see what the possibilities and limits are.

It is not certain why this is the first known proposal of this kind.  Turbine engine work since the early 1900s had bearing and rim speeds of similar but lower levels.  Coil or permanent magnet out runner motors had no particular stress problems even if built over 170 years ago.  15 years before the American civil War when the first heavy railroad reciprocating failed electric motor battery locomotive was tested.   Rearranging the materials would have produced this exact guideway design option without the advantage of rare earth permant magnets,  requireing coils nested in wire or coconut fiber wheel containment.  We had the skills but misused them ever since, never thinking we would some day not be allowed to use fuel, from scarcity and pollution destruction of the living environment.

Miniature guideway 1821 Palmer monorail vehicle’s on very high speed inter city lines were then possible from the introduction time of insulated copper wire.  Many experimental induction coil studies were conducted in several countries.  The first generator was built to run arch lights at a battle of Paris.  The first tiny ride on electric motor vehicle was demonstrated in about 1829.  The first gear wheel railway patent was US patent number one in 1834.

Before Edison was born we could have been exceeding 100 MPH between cities.  The ENOS system built around 1886 in South StPaul Minnesota could have been the start but this was slow and rejected in a critical bridge crossing access fight by politicians who preferred a surface street railway instead.  The Whoppertal like ENOS system that was proposed for a overhead Philadelphia transit system ran in the deepest Minnesota snows as a Palmer monorail.

If the aero drag and frontal areas for long slender trains is low enough then they use less vehicle systems weight and frontal area drag to volume, at ten times the speed to ton mile energy use than mostly unstreamlined large bus, truck and rail vehicles do.

Larger frontal area vehicles that are proportionately longer have a higher volume capacity to skin and frontal area while maintaining a high section moment structural ratio.  This produces efficency advantages in large aircraft, ships and railroads only where their is not land use side or grade separated clearance limits as in massive canal, railway and road systems.  The large vehicles are always forever slower than the miniature self lowering access guideway and ET3 when using the same energy per net ton mile.

The unsprung weight problems with rail and road ways is different with mass produced straighter running path guideway spans that have a high span precise dimension section moment for the elimination of bumps and gaps.  Long overlapping diagonal expansion joints mean no but rail joint noise or bumps.  Gear teeth alignment with the expansion joints requires a motor structural strength pass through that steps changes in heating and cooling between vehicle or train passages.  The motorized expansion joint of which there will be billions needed need to be custom cut into every spans to compensate for line creep from traffic and pier base geological changes.

Suspended systems using dampened limited swing leveling of the lower body are lighter than wide running gear with the body balanced on top.  Tension stresses are easier than compression stresses to resist.  Swinging monorails tend to keep stresses from side winds and cornering in line with beam center of moment strength.  Top supported railroads put these stresses off center inducing torsional loads on span beams.

Suspended monorails offer a higher over sized clearance with the stopping of the monorail traffic to allow over height road and rail traffic to pass underneath.  This high clearance is only needed untill untill we no longer need to move large oversized loads on ground level roadways that are surface guideways.  Mass decoupling carriers can replace the movement of oversized loads there after or guideway spans could be quickly sequentially disconnected and lifted up taking under a couple of minutes for occasional house movers to pass structures to be moved under on the ground.

Length improves efficency in longer trucks, but mostly in longer trains producing  cost per ton mile gains.  It is only with difficulty that trucks drop off trailers and slowly approach loading docks and parking stalls and railway cars move at turtle speeds through sorting yards to final industrial sidings.  Ships and aircraft also taxi and maneuver slowly into harbors and sky airport harbors that are separated in miles from 99.99% of their passenger and cargo origins and destinations.

The fast race car agile guideway vehicles pull into and leave the anywhere self lowering loading points like race cars pull into and leave pit stops, in a hurry as time is money and passengers and shippers will always prefer the fastest speeds if cost reduction and safety are also possible.

The slender long flexible segmental armature wrap around maglev running gear possibilities lowers the upper guideway beam and pier height by two or more feet.  This also about doubles the cost of 95% of the stop on line global access guideway grid lengths compared to the wheel motors with magnetic needle bearing unloading.   Since higher span section moments are stiffer with less defections in high turbulent winds and heavy vehicle loads there is room for the higher wheel motors.  This extra two feet of clearance means two foot higher overpass heights.  Many ways of putting the running gear beside the vehicles up inside a inverted U shaped guideway were considered but turn out cross over distances were greater meaning difficulty in supporting the unsupported wheel at high speed.

Maglev slightly reduces maintainence cost but increases electric cost while lowering drag at about the same amount by about one square foot of frontal area.  No good maglev geometry has emerged with certainty.  I will be a booster as soon as the ideal can be figured out.

The gear wheel motor system is basic and simple but totally untested.  There is no spectacularly good maglev design that is certainly better than the proposed wheel motor design.

Vehicle heating and air conditioning at these speeds requires improved thick evacuated panel structural vehicle body insulation to keep from boiling or freezing the occupants or cargo.  Tinkered surfaces reduce air resistance a little but also dissipates heat from air friction and low angle desert sun.  The triple or more redundant air conditioning system requires turbocharger speed Dyson vacuume cleaner like compressors with skin mounted heat rejection coils.  The fluid motor cooling can be used to provide in motion heat along with a resistance heated floor back up.  A single person’s body heat alone might be enough in Arctic conditions with a two inch thick evacuated panel wall R-70 insulation surrounding.

Going faster, loading and unloading quicker and responding to wider types of nearby mobility requests faster means less vehicle volume and weight capacity or procurement cost globally is needed.  The vehicle fleet investments are smaller because the vehicles have virtually no accidents and catastrophic breakdowns that wasts users time in trip delays.  Vehicles run separated from ground level environmental hazards untill they are no longer economically rebuildable requireing a rare replacement of damaged vehicles.  Using a 3/8 th inch carbon fiber wound or 3/16 th inch stainless steel outer shell Makes these vehicles tough in resisting all likely impact damage.  Impacts with smaller tree limbs requires the vehicles come out the winner.  The heavier vehicles do not ad significantly to energy use that is mostly air drag not rolling, acceleration and regenerative braking losses

Freed from road salt and UV exposure being under the guideway beam roofs these vehicle bodies might last one to several centuries in full time service.  Three decades ago I started looking at the problem of blowing sand erosion and motor seal infiltration causing bearing failure and moisture shorting problems that occur with metal motor and suspension systems and exposed conductor arc over.  Basalt fiber composite bodies and span beams create a electrically insulated sourpunding for all conductive parts.  The designs have long since eliminated these likely problems.

The design of fast long range conventional air vehicles is around large fuel tanks high frontal area wings engines and space for crews with the weight of hard streamlining tapers with stiff bodies.  Slower road and rail vehicles need larger passenger cabin spaces because their longer trip route times are less comfortable in smaller cabins and they have to have excess capacity for peak load times as adding more small vehicles is not an easy PRT one vehicle to one passenger or load destination per vehicle for on demand adjustable capacity or PRT.

Auto trip usually assume stops in route as needed for food, restroom breaks and fueling.  On board food vending systems mean new form fast food snacks and drinks can be dispensed from a about eight inch vending machine at one end of eventually mot vehicles.  Trips to work might include eating meals on the way without stopping.  Going to the bathroom creates many problems inside a vehicle but odor detection might alleart to a sanitation offender.  Cleanliness will become encouraged with greater habitual wealth in all people.  In route bathroom equipment is possible as most people will travel in decided compartments in group servicing vehicles, no need for many public restrooms along the way.  Rest stops every 100 miles or so might be built or just use urban built out facilities.  Portable pier based public restrooms also double as shelters for people in isolated rural areas to wait for vehicles to arrive in warmth or out of the sun and rain in hotter areas.

Few PRT vehicles globally would remain parked for long because the system is always adjusting empty capacities to meet global revolving cyclic day night traffic cycle demands between areas.  In the northern hemisphere the vehicles would fall just short of moving west to east in keeping empty vehicles available for morning rush hours that are progressively occurring with the rising sun.  Moving water supplies west to east and pacific and Atlantic exports and morning business arrival passenger might make most trips loads for capacity distribution.  The alternative is investing another $10 trillion in globally local vehicle circulating capacity.  I am not sure what the pay off time would be in comparing moving empty vehicles energy and lightly loaded motor wear in building over time more vehicles to make up capacity deficits.

Empty return vehicles get folded intermittently into heavy and light loads to reduce average span loads and vibrations.  A heavily loaded vehicle would joint a train on either end or between two lighter vehicles or request an empty or single passenger vehicle to pull in on either side of it to reduce it’s span load allowing it to train up on lighter rural grids than have to travel separately avoiding over load charges but still at a slightly greater cost.

Lighter span sections have lower per mile debt retirement costs for the first few years after being put in place.  Debt retired spans mean possibly 10% lower trip costs where they could be found but indirect routing to make use of such economies has higher energy and trip time costs.  Moving water in lower demand period ideal vehicles might take advantage of using such strategies at lower speed untill whole networks are debt retired.

Smaller high speed guideway vehicles might on average city to intercontinental miles carry more ton miles and individual client trips than ten or twenty times what most vehicles today do.  This means you can afford to build them to be more rugged than road and air vehicles where they will get the hardest impacts or most abrasion wear.

Each vehicle can last a century or more With rebuilding of high mortality parts.  Few replacement guideway vehicles will be needed after the first 200 million or so are built.  They might last a century in service.

One global guideway vehicle replaces about 15 of the whole range of average vehicles in use today from bicycles and automobiles to ocean container ships, rail cars and jumbo jets.  The guideway vehicle total trip times door to door are twice as fast as private jets for the poorest to wealthiest person.  Only mass decoupled vehicles and ET3 are faster.

The global guideway tiny vehicles provide high ton mile volume mile and passenger mile capacities per hour twenty four hours a day, nonstop every day of the year, carrying intercontinental food materials and products, providing on demand police fire and medical interventions and unlimited instant disaster relief.  Fixed purpose vehicles cease to have any benefits.  The rural volunteer fire service model replaces the urban stand by fire department ambulance and police car systems lowering tax costs including for education as previously generalized.  Every guideway vehicle has a water bladder and directable sprinkler system mostly for watering adjacent farm grounds and landscaping and fire suppression in forests.  Firemen and policemen merely catch a regular guideway vehicle for the fastest trip to an emergency carrying with them any equipment or tool carrier vehicle systems they will need.

Special autonomus PRT mobile MRI and X ray heart and lung performance plus body strength and motion range and blood work up monitoring vehicles could go door to door without onboard operators, taking eye and hearing tests and scan listening to people exorsizing and at rest in a inflated portable exam room.

Dentists and doctor specialists might more cheaply travel to their patents than the patents travel to them widening their service areas.  An inflatable office that can be carried and self set up is proposed.  Working space for humans is a high cost in economies.  Robots can fit into thigher quarters and need no personal spaces.  The vehicle might leave it them another vehicle come back to make the next location movement.  Remote operators that need not be phystians remotely examine people without any clinic building or staff overhead.

The machine learning expertise exists in the billions of constantly accumulating indicators with categorized Xrays data to outcome examples with demonstrated results and treatments.  This proven ever more to be beyond any human’s ability to comprehend.  New data analysis programs that more rapidly bracket and direct the health care and wellness data searches will be built up.

This health data combined with on cell phone user taken photos of affected body problems and directed medical patient or systems user survey inventories of hundreds of thousands of combinations of user stated problem related questions posed to people needing medical help.  Smart phone apts then follow up with treatments suggestions and lifetime better lifestyle practice full time assistant coaching.  The coaching actually should be cradle to grave for everybody on the planet and soon off world.

This might replace the whole of today's global healthcare professions, government agencies and industries at a cost so low that it becomes not only patient charge free but tax support free automated longevity improving system.  Today health care is over 18% of the cost of the US domestic economy possibly half of the effects on the govornment economies with health care for all programs right behind investing in police and military killing systems.

Again the manufactures of the mobile PRT self lowering pod examination rooms earn money by one time payments or time payments reimbursed by user fees paid to the guideway user controled global to local provider who buys and maintains the self managing autonomus vending mobile  equipment.  Many kinds of equipment suppliers will be competing with each other.  Some will become quickly debt paid off and over the decades digress to survices in poorer areas till they can no longer be maintained.  No remote place would be without the best possible health care or getting them in minutes to a facility for specialty interventions.  Different maintenance programs will emerge beyond the user coop controlled proposal for the guideways and vehicle’s.  Manufacturers making poor quality equipment that is hard to remotely use 365 days a year 24 hours a day will probably fail.  Who handles liability for incorrect treatments that do more harm than good?  A global guideway fund for compensation like a global guideway backed health care program is proposed.  This might provide care using a combination of individual out call and clinic providers and the PRT roving automated exam rooms.

All present fully automated guideway standards are artifacts of obsoleate thinking.  Semi reclining knees up seats allow people to tolerate much higher G loads.  There are no standing passengers.  ADA wheel chair requirement for stand up busses and train and commercial aircraft no longer make sense with these miniature vehicles.  Possibly less than one in ten thousand  or a hundred thousand or more loads and trips involves use of a wheel chair.  It is far cheaper to give fully reclining to elevating guideway conpatable wheel chairs to those that need them than to saddle the rest of the economy with four to six times the aero drag frontal area to allow a wheel chair inside turn around room.  Magnetic wheel chair hold downs up to about 15 Gs are possible.  These new design chairs can be stair climbers as well as all direction all terrain moving running gear.  Nothing like this has ever been prototyped before.  All the components exist separately.

Today, as always in history, institutions and people are emotionally risk avoidant.  We choose familiar transportation with high known losses, risks and inefficiencies compared with the self lowering guideways.

Because each 1,500 to 2,500 pound vehicle has on average about 1,500 to 3,000 peak horsepower in intermittent electric motors, they will have to pick up power and put power back into the local multipule loop main 6,000 volt DC span structural power grid.  Trains will require often 200 to 300 megawatts of area power to carry out an emergency acceleration or get a heavy unit train up to speed.  Most trains pass through with few speed changes or stops so mostly individual groups of vehicles joining and leaving the trains are the largest common resistance loss power demand.  Static power potential in the guideway grid produces no inductive or resistance losses.  Normally little local power is needed as most vehicles are cruising in trains, a few local vehicles accelerating and a few decelerating in any given area trading off about 85% of their speed change energy through regeneration.  If a local train has to decelerate then most of that energy momentarily is absorbed by having the local geothermal generators coasting for a moment to keep the voltage level.  Area vehicles can use this energy by slightly accelerating for cooperative voltage control just as they might decelerate to help a large factory process start up.  The guideway is an inertial capacitor in storage for rare local overload or overpower events.  Huge stableizing power factors are possible.  The local overlapping communications system tells all the vehicles, that are user enabled to do so, to cooperate in emergencies of all kinds.

When empty vehicles are needed to meet demand second by second around the demand area a broadening ring phone communications dispersal processor call area asks for vehicles to fill in the deficits.  First nearby vehicles beyond those needed for time probability local traffic needs passed from vehicle to vehicle leaving and coming into the area with no central computer.  The deficit empty vehicle areas can fill in from supply’s ten thousand miles away if needed.

A flow of vehicles will emerge following the rotation of the Earth to meet cyclic day demands, literally slowing down the plant over millions of years.  ET3 will not have this effect because it is not fighting air resistance.

By reducing bearing and wheel wear using tungsten hard contact surfaces with almost zero slip flat gear contact  with no differential diameter friction that exists in flanged wheel or rubber tread contact as in railways and road vehicles and using variabe gap permanate magnet unloaded bearings the high speed wheels need not wear any faster than slow wheels.  Traction is by slip free fine gear tooth rim or tread minor or tooth root diameter barrel contact.  The teeth make verticle to more horizontal spot contact with little slippage if the pitch diameters match closely.  Accuracy is critical at the highest speeds.   This eliminates traction slippage.  All aircraft and ship fan or propeller drives involve high turbulence and thermal loss inefficiencies.

Mostly urban urban neighborhood near by commuting and shopping trips at slower speeds of usually between a peak 100 MPH to 200 MPH would occur even on stop on line access guideway sections.  There is no reason to go slow unless the user wants to take a little traveled route to sight see or reduce the physical stress of high acceleration and cornering rates.

This requires absolute line occupancy detection using on vehicle situational position announcers through two to three local communications paths, one being a proposed hard wired multi diverging path EMP resistant inductive system, one a cellular radio frequency carrier and one being a fiber optic relay system for longer distance merges at higher speeds.  Failures are unacceptable so if a vehicle losses signals it slows down to a creep speed facilitating line of sight detection, that is the fourth of five redundant systems including on going internal traffic memory location matching.

This all means fewer fully automated self lowering access vehicles are needed.  The empty often mixed capacity race car fast vehicles arrive at a service call in less time.  The faster the vehicles the less time it takes at a penny or two a mile to get a passing or parked empty vehicle or one carrying a shared load occupant or cargo to pick up a calling individual service or shared user.  User clients can chose the fastest options or ask for the cheapest options that might require a longer wait.

The guideway grids being light weight at about 100 to 200 pounds vehicle span load per linear foot become cheaper to build and operate vehicles over than road vehicle systems.  Roads are designed for spread out loads of 1,200 pounds a lane linear foot but axle linear contact loads at about fifty times that of the proposed full length distributed loads of the chained guideway wheels.  Rail vehicles are designed for around 4,000 to 5000 pounds per linear foot loads with running gear axle loads of up to about 70,000 pounds or about 1,200 times more concentrated load than the linearly distributed numerous chains of about 300 to 600 pound normal load guideway wheels.  The unladen or light load for the guideway wheel motors would be about 200 to 300 pounds but shock loads of 5,000 to 10,000 pounds could be absorbed without rail or bearing failures.

Failures that occur from wear are acostic signature classifiable with single failed motor stop and retraction.  Each wheel motor might function with up to half or more of its coil IGBT commutation units failed separately.  Group or single replacement might occur when a transducer detects anomalies in running gear sounds.  Similarly every running gear set is monitoring and reporting to span requesters, misalignments and rail wear failures in every foot of guideway constantly being passed over as well as local cross wind and earth shifting vibrations.  The high speed system has to know conditions to take fully automated actions to prevent deterioration and hazards.  Anemometers located remotely and on every other guideway pier migh predict vibration inducing cross wind conditions alerting approaching vehicles to take suspension lock up actions.

There is much more to these design details and without testing, more not known than knowable.

Cost is less because energy and debt retirement shares are less as the speed is higher.  This is only possible with minimally small and linearly lightest weight vehicles.  This is only possible by designing every vehicle with mostly two semi recumbent knees up passenger seats plus room enough inside each vehicle for well over 99.99% of all larger items used by people.  Knees up seats reduce the acceleration and deceleration stresses on weaker passengers.  Several new to my life’s experiences kinds of passenger restraint systems are proposed.

A new kind of seat with hundreds of design variables are proposed.  This is made of a oval or oblong tubular stainless steel frame with a stainless spring wire mesh net bound together with hard ceramic or plastic beads.  This conforms to body countours but allows back side air to flow through for rear fan heating and cooling and power washing clean up.  You could not cut this flexible sling seat with any knife or ax tool.  The wear life could be centuries long sanitary if well designed and the comfort might be as good as it gets in conforming to pocket bulges and clothing seams.  Cabin sound dampening requires stiff fur like basalt fiber fire proof wall and floor lining.  This needs to not have backing porosity that holds smells And needs to be easily high temperature bonded replaceable.

Couches desks dressers and refrigerators, drywall and plywood but not ridged larger mattress would fit inside every standard vehicle.

A commodities bag on every vehicle can carry one to three tons of grains, ores, flour, water or syrups, no fuels are ever again needed and fewer volatile plastic feed stocks are used as  bulk materials.  These food or process materials commodities are classed for different vehicle commodities bags are entered and discharged through a common top and bottom opening in large tough fabric reinforced envelopes vacuum collapsed against the side wall opposite the whole side gull wing door.  Many vehicles might have two bags one for domestic water and one for almost everything else.   A wash out system allows every vehicle to do almost everything so few mostly parked specialty vehicles are necessary.

Every vehicle would be able to participate full time in world wide commerce carrying people during rush hours, then going inter city or to other continents through floating ocean tubes during the 90% of the times of lower human movement demand.

Vehicles with internal delivery manipulators pick up and deliver mail and packages even full self mobile electric goods containers.  These new containers replace pallets and lift trucks in most warehouse and stock rooms.  Pallet box like self mobile containers migh collapse for empty lower volume return stacking.  Many all new designs are proposed.  This new system creates new service possibilities.

Every vehicle is devided into two to five seperate compartments separated by roll up inflated deviders with Velcro edges that engage the wall and floor basalt carpeting.  Passengers could be seated behind inner seperate gull wing doors that only open with the main outside door when that compartment is needed to be accessed.  Mixed passenger and goods or mail loads could occupy seperate compartments in each vehicle for shared group services.  Or open up the patricians for single users.

interior robotic monitoring of occupant or cargo activities such as noise, heat, vapor releases is nessasary to provide emergency service.  Making these detectors and analyzers action systems non invasive is a large set of criteria trying to roboticly mimic effective human choice intervention stages.

The running gear proposeded is the only slip free propulsion and movement high speed support system ever described, meaning low wear and lower rolling friction.  Low air resistance is mandatory along with two to hundreds of vehicles sharing their frontal areas in trains.

Air friction and wake drag in boats, aircraft and road vehicles consumes 80% of the transportation fuel we burn today in transporting ourselves and goods.  Once we solve this problem lowered friction can be turned into greater speed.  Lowering rolling friction and wear becomes the default next big problem.

Proposed is rolling element bearings that are maglev unloaded to reduce friction farther and increase wear life.  Seals lift from their wavy or eccentric seats after about 15 MPH as the lubrication is held in and dust rejected centripitally as speed increases.

From my early 1900s Literary Digest collection I found a yearly series of articles on the hazards of transportation.  In the earliest ones horse and train accidents at about 6,000 and 8,000 as I remember the figures were killed each year.  Soon auto accidents and street railway accidents predominated.

Another aside is that looking poverty by urban data sets by area the poorest properties occupants died 26 to 31 years sooner than the wealthiest statistical block areas.

This brings up the problem of the moral efficacy of all forms of govornments and large scale for profit businesses.  The charity and personal growth of people assisted by common rules and sharing of gains has been around for all of human history.  Animal herds, groups and families even develope self help strategies for better survival.  Intelligent beings are more responsible to perfect these systems and identify and regulate problem members that detract from mutual best improvements.

War preparations are criminal activities that can harm and enslave the citizens of involved countries.  The guideways can never legitimately be used to assist in any way in war making preparations.  A single global to all of space set of common law and economic and environmental responsibilities should govern guideway activities just as all personal and business collective activities.  After 8,000 years of creating rules for actions that affect others there should be no arguments about universal common law and responsibilities.  This is beyond further discussion but is complex in that a improper regulation or tax itself becomes a violation and crime when levied against a non offending or low income individual.

Reducing the size and cost of defensive administrative govornments is different from preventing limited assistive transfers of wealth that elevated impoverished lower classes to be able to maintain themselves with out such assistance.  There is no obligation to allow wealthy people to gain unlimited wealth and power where they cease to contribute to the fastest sustainable economic product an services efficient flow in an economy.

Free enterprise ceases to es to be free when most or even a small part of an economy are treated as virtual slaves.

The universal guideway user democracy should have no age, social or economic class or property location limits.  A human user votes while passing through an area for operating choices for that areas guideway decisions.  This can become global nontraditional govornment that is far cheaper in overhead and less likely to develope oppressed and oppressor classes than by the known forms of traditional govornment.

Rule one has to be you can not vote out any universally listed right or vote the tax beyond an ability to pay in good health.

Guideway acceptance requires a best standard.r

To permanatly sustain advanced economies all of us need higher cost to benefit ratio, efficient, faster transportation powered by very deep, bore anywhere geothermal electricity.  Central power plant and wire distribution networks, natural gas and oil pipelines will likely be uncompetitive against the guideways, over a few decades falling into zero use.  Guideway electricity is cheaper to hook up to and cost less per KWH or BTU equivalency.  Local geothermal power wells offer almost free energy building and process heating districts, making life in the far north and Antarctica tolerable and affordable.   This replaces the multimodal road way predominate and fuel burning economies.

In today’s northern economies millions of square miles of road vehicle surface access areas require snow removal and ice salting several times a year.  The guideways would keep going even if buried under thirty feet of snow by operating in self made snow tunnels through the deepest drifts.  The proposed stake base pier guideways can be pulled up and moved to different alignments over less mobile ice caps and glaciers and accumulating ice.

Road, rail, river barge, ocean ships, commercial aviation all fail complete environmental certification which the guideways would pass forever.  None of the present systems are sustainable or completely safe.

The guideway options remain untested but not unknowable.  Finding a superior system should be a global priority but gets zero interest only adding to and improving the existing systems.Attracts most researcher, institution and developer attention.

Full finite task automation, often mistakenly called AI or artifical  intelligence robotic machine control replaces the bulky containment, limited endurence and high operating cost of human controllers.  In this global guideway this is all built in from the start as dispersed self managing finite element electronic management of all the proposed systems.

The problem with the conventional view of decision making robots, that self learn, is they are seen as evolving to where they can trouble shoot and repair themselves, even eventually design and build themselves without assistance.  In a world made for robots this might be practical.  In a world made for humans and not to destroy the animal and plant life we need a complex staged finite automation is needed  This is not pure AI management but full direct human user control.  Self aware automation will see us as irrelivent biology cluttering up a vacuume environment survivable pure mechanical space has no limits economy.

Humans are the constant creative, tactilely emotional, enjoying , artistically appreciating, benefiting observers,  mthecreasion existance makes any sense.  Without appreciator modifiers or ourselves, evolving or programmed plant, animal and emerging in our perspective AI machine ecologies are a waste of good experiences.

Humans as benefiting users have to remain in charge of the workings of the systems they use not just passive headonistic benificeraries.

Several Ted Talks and studies cover human learning verses machine program learning.  Humans learn faster with better retention on the job doing things than we do from pure class room data presentations.  Humans are integrated body mind assemblies.  Machine learning may be similar at some level but basicly only needs a direct and finite path between data and connected actionable tasks that are always so far designed in.

Proposed here is that the guideway vehicles come complete with on board screen, page subject indexable full explanations of all the in depth layers of guideway design and operation to make desiring users more informed about how everything works, so they can become educated democratic decision makers and policy influencers.  This internet based on board entertainment like education should be presented for everything in known life on peoples cell phones.  Presently all of this information is mostly available but never presented as options ahead of irrelevant social interests, products for profit and entertainment excitement.  Hands on learning expieriences creates retention tens of times better that repetition of information.

Proposed is self guided tours of vehicles and their parts and operations in real time for rider entertainment where riders can see and when desired participate in activities around vehicle services or maintainence and economics.  Every vehicle is a traveling guideway economy school, tour guide of 40 million miles of local history you can travel through and a social emissary to resolve user problems.  The guideway bank and currency idea is based on the guideway becoming the single most important institution extending out to guideway launch and catch rings for off earth economies.  It is not know by me if a mass decoupled vehicle can be tether launch and recovered from a ring.

This could create some people who might develop guideway systems and service improvement as a challenge to help themselves towards global economic efficiency improvement.  This is much as some people build apps for cell phones with little compensation other than the challenge and accomplishment.

Understanding the workings of the guideways is no different than a basic understanding of car ownership and maintaining as economic decision making in keeping a car running well.

The vehicles themselves with simple limited or finite response automation can maintain and trouble shoot themselves without people.  More observer eyes on problems with shared democratic user controlled creative input administration should mean better performance.

People need encouragement to apply themselves to challenges through personal assistant smart phones.

Possibly other systems might prove to be better designs than the self lowering in air miniatue guideways in replacing the use of paved street access.  ET3 could eventually be such a system that might have a bi-end whole interior drawer slide out loading ET3 vehicle, with vacuume entrapping tripoint seal air locks in every basement.  This might be done at a little more than double to triple the present cost of the self lowering system.

ET3 access can also use fully automated self managing installation equipment.  The problem is access and egress requires at least a $5,000 cost air lock connected to another $10,000 or more cost in a turnout to PRT bay loading, to clear the tube behind.  This is no more than the cost involved for typical American family home driveways with a garage and curb cut access.  But that is not a common global standard residential investment level as yet.

The overhead guideway over streets beside sidewalks and over yard and field areas even through deep forests is accessable any where safe lowering is possible.  Roof top connection require a small compilation or awning covered platform be built at every residence with a stairs down to the living quarters.  Apartments might have spiral guideways assending to any height supported by the buildings exterior framing.  Ramp and safety surrounding access systems can keep the rain once and snow off the loading spot at every apartment exterior wall.  This might cost $1,000 to $5,000 per apartment for the from the guideway self installation plus the cost of a walk door open grate ramp penetration.  Installation from the outside is possible using guideway support relying on building wall support.  Stud finding improvement is required possibly using thermal imaging or sound detection as well as mad or nail finding.  Wire and plumbing detection and rerouting is also a problem to be worked out.  Multi inspector codes inforcement needs up dating for simplification to each owner as well as batch filing fees and permits.

The global guideway would usually reach seperate homes directly using a stop on line through guideway.  Most of the time on most streets and rural roads everywhere traffic is highly intermittent.  A vehicle might take between 20 to 30 seconds occasionally upwards of a minute to slow to a stop, rapidly lower to ground level, open the full gull wing door, rapidly watching for interferences every where around, swing out the seat or drop off the package or ramp down unload a small to full sized self mobile container or personal vehicle or dump water or pick up sewage concentrate, trash or other items to be delivered and close the door while ascending back up to the guideway to rapidly accelerate back up to speed.  Rarely a following vehicle might have to route around on the access grid or slow a little or stop to wait.  This access would be on grids that would usually have speed limits of under 100 MPH.  This is on most side streets with speeds of 15 to 25 MPH.  With no obstacle collision possibilities speed is limited only by curvature and these vehicles can bank to over 45 degrees to keep passengers and loads level in high speed corners and curves.

A one G common stop from this speed is about 5 seconds taking about 500 feet.  We are use to slow vehicle use so all of the guideway is as unfamiliar to us today as driving our cars would be to someone in the horse and buggy era.

Self lowering anywhere access combined with the much less than the limited suspended guideway speed of about 650 MPH, is more utilitarian, sacrificing the higher ET3 speed, operating efficiency and hugely greater simplicity of not being able to run vehicles as ET3 does as pure PRT style, not needing to join a train.

ET3 can also use wheels at speeds up to about 2,000 MPH but cooling the onboard motors becomes the limitation.  Even with maglev super conducting coils and permanent magnets get warm and need to be cooled at higher speeds.  Safe ET3 requires full length regenerative coils or for emergency high G stopping a hysteresis rail brake.  The elongated rod armature spreads the magnet convective heat tube radiated dissipation of thermal gains in magnets over more surface area to dissipate into the coil cooling jacket.  The armature could retract away from the air lock door side pushing the capsule against the door seal till the latches grab the vehicle to keep it from blasting back into the vacuume with 20 tons of pressure differential. on door opening.

The only reason the guideway vehicles need to join in trains is that at 100 MPH it takes a less than 100 KWs per vehicle to maintain single in train speed but at 650 MPH this goes up to around 3500 to 4000 KWs for a single vehicle to maintain speed by itself.  This not only uses a lot of electric power but in warmer weather most of these standard length vehicles would not be able to sustain that just subsonic speed running alone for very long, just a few minutes.  In trains this frontal area drag is shared by all the vehicle motors with very little skin friction and motor windage armature drag remaining per vehicle.

while the wheel motors might, near the speed of sound spin at about 10,000 RPM the upper guidewheels that are lightly loaded be small enough to spin at 40,000 RPM while the lower guidewheels will have to spin slower due to carry all non gravity cornering loads.

In longer trains the vehicle plus  a single occupant to a ton or 180 cubic feet of cargo can be carried at about 50 KW at 650 MPH.  Not only does people and goods arrive faster but fewer vehicles or volume and weight capacity are required.

The small fast vehicles cost  no more than railway freight cars, about the cost of semi trucks but a fraction the cost of aircraft per ton miles per day carried unit.  Keeping energy and service costs low is the goal.

Pre-preg composite for wide and long panel sheeting, that could be inflated, cured, back filled with foam or evacuated after blown in reflector fibers. Migh become the vehicle and habitat material best choice.

What ever the ideal general service form the guideway should not be forced on people.  If it is the cheapest fastest most convienient system then people will have to see it in action against road access, drone taxis and ET3 and see which might work best.  Possibly wealthier areas might opt for ET3 while pooer areas might opt for the slower self lowering guideway at five times the average speed of high speed rail and ten times the average speed of expressway road vehicles but not orbital velocity capable like ET3.  Nobody will likely opt for long for drone mobility cities for any practical reasons.

Every activity on the planet needs to be connected together by a unified world wide to everywhere on imediate demand door to door nonstop fast safer system.

Eventually you could get into a ET3 capsule or pod and go directly non stop to Earth orbit and recieve a capsule full of moon gravel mined hours earlier by regenerative return ET3 non stop in the same vehicle at about $2 to $8 a pound shipping fees.  This is mostly paying off the balanced regenerative loss and IGBT wear out costs.

Molecular particle traps on every vehicle end maintains and even forms the tube vacuum, no pumps are even needed.

 The moon and earth could become connected by a variable length ET3 space tether with a transition gap between.  This could carry huge tourist, commodities and goods traffic as the moon gravity provides a good place to tour and short term recover from injuries at In fixed heavy radiation resistant shelter.

At this point the electric flow from the Earth to the moon is uncertain, but might be a power source.  Never forget the possibilities of dipole charge imbalances causing disasters.

This best mobility system needs to eliminate any requirement for propulsion or energy averaging batteries as needed in autonomus PV powered road vehicles and solar powered PRT Highway and monorail train proposals.  Solar power outside of planetary shadows is practical if you want to travel slowly towards the edge of the solar system.  But it is not practical in orbit or on the surface of rotating planets with out a power grid reaching around the planet.  Better batteries are still a cost, maintenance, critical materials waste and pollution problem not an advantage in any Earth based system ever proposed.

Heavy slow ships and overseas airlines can be replaced by fast under 2 foot draft mile long under 200 square foot frontal area SES turbo electric prop fast sea trains carrying most over ocean aircraft passengers and speeding up global goods commerce.  These would have access to hundreds of thousands of miles of smaller rivers not reachable by deep draft barges.  This is a connection with mobile sea steading communities, until the PRT guideway ocean tubes are built to make cross water transportation single mode trip every direction seamless.  Sail and solar longer sea trains can operate at 20 to 200 MPH speeds without fuel but thorium reactor electric fans remains the best propulsion system.

Thorium reactor powered sea trains can operate without stopping for service or refueling for years at 200 to 400 MPH speeds based on existing fan electric propulsion using combined figures from GE90 engines using electric rim drive out runner motors and submarine power plant working examples with thorium breeder shells and hot cores.

On board Thorium reprocessing remains an uncertainty But some centrifuge concentration and moving slow transfer to ever more centralized enriched concentric core tubes with only the inner layers might be used for heat extraction Not mixing with the yet to become fully reactive outer layers.

New safety systems are proposed that might make such nuclear life time cheap fueled systems safer than internal combustion systems.  Seperate from multipule shared turbo generator two or three reactors might be mounted with self driven coolant cuirculation pumps so as to be individually droped through the seat train trailing power car or barge bottom if a hazard should separately develope in one reactor that could not be shut down contained.  The sea train continues on while the sunk reactor self cools untill it can be salvaged.

This future low overhead global economy requires direct local geothermal electricity connected global transportation.  It becomes difficult to stop transportation and electric supplies due to regional disasters or war efforts.  Millions of geothermal local generators would localize the worlds energy supply.

Light weight equipment using a twin gear rail shaft climber can drill large diameter shafts ten miles deep or more in about three months with no person in attendance.  Similarly the side turret drills and down hole plumbing might all be carried out by automated machinery more cheaply than by crewed systems using today massively huge drill string or cable access mine tools.  Shaft climbers or ascenders are fast all angle mobility requiring new rock thin kerf slotting, core shaping and segmental not rubble or muck removal.  Energy and tool wear costs are less and thousand mile long or as deep as you can go shafts become cheaper per mile than a two lane or even one lane paved road on land.  $500,000 a mile or less.

A universal service fully automated entrainable PRT guideway and electricity utility is to users a everywhere transportation and energy global vending machine.

You could use your bank cards on the compact Proposed designs for compact seat arm rest payment machine in every guideway vehicle.  This is a full banking and investment service ATM on guideway bank to get what ever you needed in cash or check transactions that your account allowed you to pay for.

You could use the internet to communicate with the guideway treating it like a fully automated local to global transportation world access utility machine.

Not having any humans to profit, the guideway bank can operate at a smaller overhead cost and eventually become the global monetary system because it has a high asset and utility value to everybody and the global financial customers are all collectively the banks board of directors, operating officers, armature examiners and advisors.

This leads to global guideway real democracy government and financial management replacing national currencies with a international currency, call it what every body agrees on Banquer or global dollar or pound.

the problem of enticing people to increase their intellectual grasp and information range beyond personal learned attachment all the way to statistical consideration will take time and unrelenting efforts.  Beliefs die even in the sciences requiring constant reviewing and refreshing of understanding.

  While manufacturers would contribute to make and improve on the products needed by people the cost per unit of seat mile ton mile or delivery action would drop to about 5% to 15%, soon less,  of the current mixed mode system costs that relies on external financial management.  This is the difference between having to maintain ground supported transportation that requires a high human labor, management and constantly deteriorating brittle high mass and land consumptive infrastructure overhead cost and the ultra light jet speed all overhead guideway.

This guideway is ultra light weight in total systems mass.  It depends on transportation and energy being a fully automatically managed and self placed universal utility serving all user benefits goals that is user immediately on demand controlled.  Transportation has to be immediately available with any request and as fast as the speed of sound safely locked into the right left or straight ahead guideway path.

every guideway vehicle can collect comparative operational data looking at different manufactured systems cost to benifits ratios.  A mature user groups can take on tracking and research tasks eliminating govornment and industry studies that always seek profit and power.  Constant improvement should be the goal for the global standard networked in air and ET3 systems.

ET3 space orbital and toss and regenerative recovery is room temperature non thermal all electric even on Earth space travel.  Eventually more and more homes will have ET3 end loading tri seal air locks in their basements where they can directly go to the single equatorial orbital ring  an travel from there too the Moon without leaving their capsule seat.  The trip might take about 6 to 20 hours depending on whether you took the most efficient or the fastest path.  There are a lot of detail variables described in part further on.

This should be a global self owned or user trust that is user local to global direct democracy controlled as a ever more charitable universal public utility.  Governments and private operating corporations are all potentially corruptible so can not get involved in operations lest they again warp the services to create avenues for profit and power infighting.

The users know what they want and should have all oversight in decision making.  If the users ask what seems like impossible demands, more than the impossible already being delivered, the next ET3 stage is already being developed and should be developed as a parallel inter city, inter continental, inter planetary system for 2,000 to 60,000 MPH higher speeds.  The faster ET3 speeds would be for interplanetary and orbital transfer space launch, toss and recovery ring systems.

Proposed is mediating soft ware to allow property owners to get the type of service that suits them and their neighbors, to cooperatively as mush as possible at any given time make the mutually best decisions.  The problem is working out differences in alignment opinions and preferences of access style.

The guideways are portable, being easily installed using stake driven piers that can be pulled up and moved as needed.  The span parts and assemblies can be reused and shape adapted for the first time in history similar to railway rails and ties to what ever alignment is required.  Only this control is three dimensional including the world’s first structural limit automatic expansion and span arch control joints  suspension long spans arch twist and alignment control.

Internet communications might shortly follow this PRT model because the guideway is a cheaper way to deliver high capacity guideway carried instead of buried fiber optics and more frequent finely divided cell tower sites on occasional piers everywhere.  Data centers devolve into all on device storage and decentralized on guideway switches.  The system works a little like the interconnections in every brain.

Dark fiber would follow the guideways as well as geothermal power plant electric capacity levels carried by the grid span structures being connectable any where the guideways arrive at.  Farmers could use electricity for field work.  Farm fields migh soon resemble checkerboard strip orchard forests with open clearings and rugged animals grazing under the trees.  The system might be multiply self regenerating.  Guideway grid access might be through out leaving little distance for electric vehicle automated services to travel.

The guideways become a cheap way to move millions of tons of water to any place on the 40 million eventual miles of the basic access global grid.

 For profit companies will as they always have figuring out ways to make profits off of essentially nonprofit fully automated self managed or user managed utility services.  Investors take advantage of a higher velocity of money in a permanatly sustainable marketplace and ecology that is more robust than the current global economy that will shortly reach transactional supply cost peaks or ecological limits until we eliminate the fuel and user owned vehicle and equipment market place.

Everything hinges on a permanatly sustainable ecology and critical materials supplies in which the human economy has to presently exist.  This ecology predominated before humans arrived and is unlikely to be replaced by us for thousands of years to come with a global sustainable substitute theme park like ecology of our design.

First year vehicles can debt retire in about one year at 2 to 3 cents a user mile, the guideway access grid debt retires at about 5 to 15 cents a user mile, the bore anywhere power plants and additional 3 cents or more to debt retire in about three to five years.  Maintenance and energy on going electricity and wear and replacement costs might be between about 2 cents to 7 cents a vehicle mile occasionally being both cheaper and higher in certain user circumstances and short trip higher cost charges.

After about the third to fifth years this possible capital costs are incrementally paid off buy the user charges and those debts would progressively lower to a fairly flat user cost at about 1/20th to

 1/60th the average cost of current transportation.

First developmental companies will require more insight than they showed on the Hyperloop projects that push aside rational detractors working towards irrational conformist formatting.

 Proposed here is a new example that may transcend all the problems with past wheel born systems being lower in rolling resistance at speeds as high as jet aircraft with frontal area drag coeficients lower than recumbant streamlined bicycles at only about double their common frontal areas.

Proposed is a new form of I beam shaped running gear wheel motor chains with variable permanatly magnet unloaded needle bearings.  Micro gear narrow width dual gear rim wheel support eliminates slippage wear in exchange for a microscopic verticle vibratory rolling movement.  Whether this would translate into audible sound is uncertain as the frequency is above human and most animal hearing frequency levels most of the time.  Traction limits no longer exist so emergency regenerative stops of up to 3 to 4 Gs become practical when required and climbing almost verticle slopes if needed is practical.

Longer distance entrainment with separately routed PRT vehicles joining in and leaving from in motion drag reduction trains of opportunity at sea level.  The single vehicle share of trained drag drops to where faster than commercial jet speeds become economically common and practical.

The guideways on which the vehicles run are alignment adjustable in a new way to provide smooth rides at very high speeds yet be cheap enough to directly be placed by or connect together nearly every home and business and popularly road accessed site on the planet.  If a place can be reached by a mechadamized road sewers and power lines Then a all new guideway is lower in cost to build that also provides cheaper electric energy access than natural gas or the lowest cost PV system.

Most primitive villages getting a guideway spur would not only get cell service, unlimited water, power and a on demand delivery of everything they could pay for as well as remote recycle removal of all wastes and the whole globe to directly sell their products in with same day delivery to the far side of the planet but the equivalent to a village center international airport and container ship port combined with a grade separated local highway network.

This access might cost as little as $300,000 to $2,000,000 a mile depending on one way or two way single vehicle or train occupancy per span between piers. Commerce could come to all people never before participating in the global economy.

Left is the problem of maintaining a desirable universal good tasting high protein diet without trashing the oceans ecolological sustainability.  This to might be solved by the global guideway’s connection to lower cost ocean agriculture systems that require lower input mobility costs and sea food farms instead of decimating base ocean food chain feed stocks.  Fully automated massive guideway factory based insect farms can produce the improved animal feed protien.  New forms of middle ocean depth base netted farms along the guideway ocean network paths are proposed in verticle descending ecology layers of concentrated production.

We can no longer simply extract without circularly replacing consumed resources.  This requires very flexible low cost return mobility that does not itself create pollution and flood run off problems created by large area pavements and road and railroad embankment restriction of natural drainage.

The guideways raise over coastal citie’s transportation to where elevated or floating buildings no longer need surface transportation or airports.  Flooded costal neighborhoods could live in guideway connected water separated issolation from nearby areas that would be abandoned like man made new forms of corral reef habitats made from the lowered rubble of flooded cities.  Sunken ship and oil platform reef habitats are examples as well as mangrove cultures.

Sea levels will continue to rise anyway to levels where guideway rebuilding of higher inland cities becomes unavoidable.   The guideways can cross oceans in small two way reverse cuirculation reduced pressure ocean tubes.  These Davis tube networks are cheapest with small frontal area PRT vehicles like the original Skytran designs.  Ocean automated fabrication and installation does not require the massive systems used today for suspended roadway tubes.

Across ocean tube costs are about $10,000,000 a mile in average three mile bottom depts at 100 foot to 200 foot under surface floating tube  suspension depths using a new anchorage placement and position adjustment system.  Lower costs could follow.

All of these issues require producing companies that are not afraid to operate where no one has gone before, using new production machinery they will probably have to develop themselves.  The creative talents are there but suppressed by the lack of applied physics guided leadership.

Beyond this, the question of how best to develope modern economies with the emergence of lower cost robotics needs addressing.  See all the Issac Aurthur videos for guidance In bound instead of outward bound.  If we do not improve the efficiency of the Earth’a economy there will be little outward bound economies.

Few people will make a living off of small cafes and gift shops or massage- beauty parlors.  When the guideways go direct retail and door to door specialty medical procedures even amazon and Walmart will become limited and go the way of Sears, Wards and Penny’s.  There too go the big box retail jobs following the automotive and trucking jobs.  Farmers with eyes and boots on the ground will still have a place if they sell products from fields to guideway global food at home sales, leave the vegetables in the cooled guideway delivery receiver box.

Scarcity might vanish but is of no value if you have no income source anyway.  WPA like new jobs might help a little to do clean up detailing or speculative remodeling.

In any catigory how many people can be sustained in jobs that work themselves out of work in the near future.  Individual personal assistants and self organizing groups might create new tasks but if demand or acceptance of taxing and transferring wealth to pay for the work is low then people will still be out in the cold.

Proposed is designs for automaticly manufacturing evac panel wall houses that have their own solar electric system and water and geothermal heat averaging well drilling system.   To save production and distribution costs the appliances might be built in delivered as counter top and cupboard packages made to be infinite workin core repairable.  Proposed is glue together panes that like LEGO’s create custom house plans of all sizes, finishes and floor plans.  in a day or tow one or two people or a robotic system can put a house together slid loving the parts the letting the glue strengthen the joint in an hour or so.  This might give billions of permanatly comfortabe low cost zero energy houses to people.  Only food cost remains as clothing can be found hand me down or cheap.  The guidewy brings everything to the property.

last is thecrant about safety.  Every year road vehicles kill about 1.3 million people.  Every four decades this conservative number is the total deaths in WW2,  this does not include the losses from pollution in life shortening years.  PRT will be about 200 to a 1,000 times safer than human controlled road vehicles, even when rushing 25 feet off the ground at 950 feet per second.

New design buildings will become the guideway destination.

Making buildings under a tenth the cost to live in.

The guideway geothermal system should be able to provide electricity cheaper than solar, fission, natural gas and coal in most situations.  The electricity and heat comes from ultra deep geothermal local wells.  Mass produced, runnin gear mounted package multiple small 1 to 5 megawatt generators packs producing 6,000 volt to 20,000 volt pure DC right out the generator coils.  The higher voltages are for building use coil stepped down at each property to 110 to 440 volt AC or eventually DC power services.

All new building would ideally no longer need any gas, water, sewer, electric, or broad band connections seperate from that provided at lower cost by the guideways.  The guideway grid is incrementally locally being off the grid everywhere on earth or independent from everything but food and product sources that come from usually more then ten to twenty mikes away.

The cost of all services, energy and products might become from a third to a twentieth that of current fuel burning investor capitalist or socialist economies.

The global economy becomes a at point of transaction user controlled decentralized robotic

economy trust or coop.  This should not be confused with socialism or communism as the robotic system to a degree is self maintaining with little human labor or investor cost.  Today investors have about a 1.4 times the GDP cost of the global economy that gives them about a 8% share of the cost of the economy through ownership and control of mostly everything.  Govornments provide what investors are unwilling or u competitive in providing at a similar cost in taxes and monopoly service govornment fees.  After all other costs are taken out common people who are not Investors have to distribute amongst them selves about another possibly 10% of the GDP between themselves to enjoy Life with as discretionary self serving spending beyond survival.  Thes figures are not right on as there are grey areas between and I would like to see a set of calculations that show a detailed distribution of costs to the global economy with benefactors and internal recirculating loops.

mass producing sustainable buildings that use little energy for heating and cooling get interiors, that last for hundreds to thousands of years is what this global guideway section is about.  The described buildings have to survive earth quakes, floods of any depth, forest and grass land fires and tornados without immediate reuse.  Surviving nuclear wars and meteor strikes near by is a complex problem using these houses as mostly above ground shelters.  These houses can be buried as they are strong enough to take possibly about five to ten feet of earth cover in emergencies but then lose their ability to float over most tidal waves and floods.

single mode transportation and geothermal energy

Interested in a permant happy future for large populations of humans? It takes a car, a reasonably convienient comfortable sheltering home, electricity and a cell phone to raise a kid, hold jobs, shop, get to schools and do everything else in ever larger area, dispersed services modern communities. It takes a personal small truck or van and larger trucks to run many small business or handle larger items people use. It takes phones, computer internet and electricity to do everything before and between mobility. This is true every where in the world. For the last 150 plus years it also takes limited fuel supplies and some limited materials supplies to keep everything in industrial economies working. Either we change our energy sources to industrial large population unlimited supplies or we can no longer continue to raise large numbers of kids in healthy even self sustaining environments. Railroads and aircraft are not needed anywhere to make road based economies run. Planes add s

Recycle guideway market systems, reusable packaging.

Lowering the cost of products and their delivery.

This recycle everything project started separately at the same time the guideway ideas were emerging.  At that time my wife Colleen and I were setting up a complex household out of the then 63 year old massonary Lancaster County Home called Westview.  Everything had to be remodeled and refurbished.  We were broke most of the time but were salvagers.  Trash removal was on our own for a multi family household and over the years increasing.  We started to recycle.

About thirty years ago I came up with a set of ideas for 100% reusable standard containers for all products.  At the time we were using all kinds of disposable package food and household cleaning products.  We we’re constantly remodeling with paint, plaster, floor levelers, adhesives, bags of cement, solvents and varnish removers by the hundreds of gallons.  Possibly averaging a ton or two a year of materials for at least two decades.  The containers piled up and we reused them for mixing buckets and storing fasteners and parts.  Often of cardboard or light weight plastic reused containers often failed so we were also buying buckets, mixing pans, plastic totes and tool boxes.

This idea for a better type of bulk liquid to dry

product, totally hundreds of times reusable packaging could be made in six to eight standard sizes like pint, quart, half gallon, two gallon, five gallon, fifteen, thirty and forty gallon sizes in two wall thicknesses for heavier and lighter products.  I looked at poly ethylene buckets like Tupperware and fiberglass and even glass which broke too easily.

I finally decided on stainless steel as it is rugged, does not rust or shatter, survives flames and spot impacts and bounces back or is reparable and can be cleaned and abrasively scoured out in most situations.  Think of kitchen stainless steel bowls, pans, pots, dish sinks, washer tubs and commercial kitchen and labroratory counters.

These universal thin wall stainless steel containers would stack like squared off disposable drink cups with lids that similarly stack for return shipping.  A ten to twenty to one return trip volume advantage would be had with empty container nesting stacking.

The high cost of the stainless is off set by hundreds to thousands of reuses.

We were canning garden produce at the time and buying canning jars that occasionally get reused.  Thin wall aluminum pop cans had just entered service a decade before first being like tin cans you needed a can opener for.  I grew up with recycling by crushing tin food cans and taking them to the junk yard to be remelted over and over again.  Similarly bent up standard reusable containers can be remelted and reformed for thousands of years before the last of the contents is lost to erosion and misplacement.

A new form of as yet uncertain minimal consumable cost, reusable labeling is needed.  This might be like a dry erase board label between two durable sheets where the colored ink label is printed with a replaceable or reusable clear cover sheet.  A compressible silicone to Teflon tubular seal is required inside the lid rim.  A means for permeant seal bonding at high temperature is needed.  A set of bar locks require the lid to be depressed on each side while a locking bar is slid in place on each side.  Some kind of factory certified tamper proof seal or vacuume freshness system is needed.  Rounded corner square reusable cans would take up less room on shelves while high vacuume sealed or pressure sealed products would be in round cylinders cans.

Containers with vacuume insulation outer shells or panel walls could be their own refrigerator shipping containers as we keep liquid gasses cool for days and weeks in shops.  This would reduce out of refrigerator deterioration times for food ingredients in kitchens.  A time temperature use by  integrated electronic label that is also reusable could tell you of possible spoilage without lifting the lid.

A hopper bottom dispenser series of containers is also proposed that use up every last bit of stored materials that can be vibrated, heated to cause liquid flowing or slammed down to the bottom rubber valve bottom opening.  You could lift off the lid scrape to the bottom the represurize again to use the last product in the container.  These hopper bottom containers could become a new series of dispenser containers from a pint to a large 44 gallon or pallet sized self mobile drum full.  This eliminating a need for dirting tools in applying paints using a slotted squeggy that forced coatings into irregularities in a surface or applied a notched trowel coating or in kitchens spreading or measuring ingredients using a built in flow volumemetric indicator.

This could also use a multi proportional distribution system combining materials under pressure without pumps for multi part mixing.  Imagine a multi color variable width paint system that worked like a color printer head that used barrels of ink or paint of base colors.  Size for decoration becomes irrelevant as you could coat from the most inexpensive returnable container supplies.  3D fabrication materials would have a cheap PRT based global demand response supply chain with the reusable container systems.

A system for stacking the containers wet at the users end then separating them with air pressure from a small valve or weld resealed hole made in the bottom would reduce the users need for cleaning.

I looked at the cost of stainless of different alloys, fabrication costs as improvement on pressing out  aluminum cans( much higher tool wear and energy cost, the number range of reuses, the availability of alloys in future higher use rates and the cost of the oneway global land fill based container industry.  Some information from Rieks containers company and others helped learn about the cost of container, distribution and service cost shares of products.  A nickels worth of fountain pop syrup and carbonation is 50 to 70 cents in pull top cans 50 cents in two liter bottles and a buck and a half in a fountain non refilled drink cup or cans from a cooler or vending machine in user cost.

Maintaining our houses institutional water supply, sewage system, plumbing, electrical system as well as increasing and rearranging apartments in our 20,000 square feet of concrete structure floor area  house on six acres and decorating the property were educating tasks.  

Every year saw several remodeling and maintaining everything projects.  It was learn as we went about what was common practice and creatively trying out to us new ideas.  My errors in judgement were many and budget limitations caused debt accumulation, this wasting income on interest payments.   Inversely our house became an income producing property which paid for some of the debt beyond outside job earnings.

I feel still like a little child, every year learning what life is all about, still stumbling, learning to walk In a complex social and technical world.

Humanity is similarly learning collectively what works best and what does not.  Like smokers and alcohol and drug users the collective choices people make institutionally are killing our otherwise stable planetary environment.  Like smokers who think they can’t quit, we justify how we do things as the only choices we have, as the best ways because like smoking and drinking personal road vehicles and inefficient houses, products and services make us feel better even if they are bad for us all.

Every wet freeze thaw winter, every place north, we have tens of thousands of local springtime pot holes to fix.  These damage cars and trucks and cost Americans alone about ten billion dollars a year.  Every year the crews repair the same and new potholes without ever analyzing why this is happening other than to state the obvious and continue to use the same asphalt and tar repair systems used for a hundred years.

By drilling a hole several feet under each pothole with a 2 inch roto hammer to about two feet down, then filling it with gravel creating a Dutch drain then using a under cutter of new design, like a dentist does to hold a filling in place only to hold the patch in place, then filling with high strength fiber reinforced grout you can make permant pot hole repairs.  If you do few of them it costs a lot but if you make a new vacuume truck mounted machine you can repair them in the middle of winter using boiling hot water and cement dry mix.  You need to sand blast prep the hole under the vacuume hood the drill the drain hole then fill and apply the patch all with a single operator inside the truck using TV vision to guide alignment around the centering drain hole drill five tool systems under the hood at about $100,000 investment might patch a pothole every five minutes or so Even in cold and wet weather.  Winter setting concrete is a hot patch you can drive over as soon as the truck drives away.

In March 2019 I decided to read all that was readily available on the subject of pot hole and street repair.  I had already had five decades of concrete construction experience including studying materials chemistry and sub grade behavior.  I had seen many new materials introductions and read in engineering developmental journals about every right of way subject starting back in the 1870s.

Habits of assumed choices made were so universal that amongst the civil engineering technical papers on the subject of street design little useful  has been learned since I was a kid.  Asphalt repairs that last a few months to 13 years on average are still standard In pavement overlays that last about ten years and new streets that last 30 to 40 years.

No attempt ever existed that I could find to increase the tensil strength and section moments of railways or pavement slabs or systematicly improve sub base and inter layer or curb capture drainage, the usual cause of freeze thaw problems.

Like a smoker who eats healthy foods to compensate for a pack a day habit, in every country on the planet engineers and decision makers were trying the same things that with rare exceptions did not work well in past years.

It has long been possible to lay down at about double the cost pavements that last crack and failure free for a century or more.  The cost to benefit ratios are only practical when new traffic and vehicle systems reduce the requirement for so much pavement area.  The flexibility of surface running not air vehicles to go almost every where has to be limited to eliminate constant mobility systems maintainence.

If this rethinking how we use vehicles can not be done then we need to adopt single pass tracked or plate compactor asphalt firming over a mesh two layer base as a overlay system on concrete high section moment waffle grid lower basalt mesh one to two foot thick waffle underside high fiber mesh content top surface pavements.  A network under slabs of small inter connected drain tubes or dutch  well drainage holes has to assure no moisture concentration build up under the concrete slab or between the asphalt top layer.  This is vastly more complex that any pavement system at any know time on our planet.

Even a hundred years ago we could have developed pavement laying machinery to create these conditions but simply refused to do it.  Tests showed these ideas worked but they required making changes from common simple practices and introducing new ways of doing everything done everywhere.
