Kinetically Strengthened Transportation Structures

摘要

Just as a limp rope becomes a semi-rigid hoop structure when spun into a centrifugally strengthened lasso, so potentially could spatially extensive structures assume strong rigid shapes with the ability to resist deformation by applied loads, due to electromechanically coupled armature segment kinetic energies circulating on evacuated maglev tracks at supra-orbital velocities within them, creating transportation structures of unique qualities and otherwise unattainable earth-circling spans. Combining the dynamics of electric servo controlled motor-generator stored energy functions with transportation bridging structure functions has the potential of a new class of near-future transportation structures of extraordinary potential applications, particularly interesting bridging between the Earth's equator and GEO.
