How Some Say Hovercraft May Make Inland Ports
..
Author Arthur C Clark hoped to forsee how hovercraft may go from land to water without stopping. Because of this he envisioned how a city like Kansas City would one day be a major port city. The idea of spray on magnetic bands that a magnetic levitation automobile would then be able to climb hills without sliding off the side of the road have been devised, and the idea of wheels for hovercraft to solve the problem has been via i.e. "hovercraft motorcycles". Wheeled hovercraft may not be that much better than just a truck on the roads because although it would go on both water and land and would be able to climb hills it would still have to have special roads on the other side of the slope down on the other side so it wouldn't crash in the wind. The idea of the bands sprayed on the road for the hovercraft to have magnetic attraction to the road may be a solution. Wheels with magnetic bands would be on the leading and following bumper of the machine, these would add stability on hills, and spray on bands on the side of the road would be good so sideways motion would be reduced, and the land and water are finally smoother!
Popular Science and others published a plan to dig tunnels below the ground or the city that would hold tubes like intermodal freight containers that would go at high speed by compressed air in the tubes. This would reduce a lot of the traffic on roads, roads are for the royal rich. It's almost where it would be about as cheap to dig and go below the roads and rooms than build more roads. Some say a better way would be to use the same land by the side of the road already owned by You and Us and put pylons on the side of the superhighways for the tubes. No more land would have to be bought and no digging so it would be much cheaper. The tube units and pylons would be simple to mass produce. Because it would be in the tube it would be at much lower decibels than trains. And it would go at much higher speeds with no collision because of the air seal that would slow a fast intermodal freight container so the air would cushion the space between the tubes.
Why is a cheap toupee also called a broadloom? It takes a rug to cover all the huge room where my roof left!
