Take the train to your doorstep
In many big cities, the stations of the local railway network are often far away from passengers’ destinations. Sky Tran is a system with small two-person compartments moving along an elevated track 6 m above the ground. In each car’s suspension, you will find a series of powerful magnets that are pushed forward by electricity in the track. Moreover, a number of coils are embedded along the entire length of the track. As the powerful suspension magnets move, they produce a reverse magnetic field in the track coils, making the car float. This reduces friction and makes skyTran more energyefficient. The elevated tracks take up much less space than ordinary ones, and hence, it is cheaper to build more tracks and stations, so passengers can be carried all the way to their destinations. According to plan, the first skyTran will be built in Tel Aviv, Israel, within the next few years.
