Could Yellowstone and Other Magma Sites Power Cheap, Speedy Transportation?

HIGH SPEED TRAVEL WITH MAGLEV IN EVACUATED MAGMA TUBES

Molten magma exists all over the world. It has never been used for anything. 3p corp holds the patents for its use and high-speed tunnel pipe (one of its best uses).

Objects move through outer space with no resistance. Objects move in evacuated inner space with little resistance. Magma pipe sections, 16-feet diameter by 50-feet long with pressurized O-ring lap connections and Maglev track on ledges carry the independent electric cars. No need to make up or break down trains of cars.

A car can go from San Diego to Bangor or or Seattle to Tampa by itself. The cargo transfers itself at the appropriate junctions to go the most economic route. Stationary windmills supply the electric power to move the electric cars on the flat and uphill. The motors become generators on the downhill sections. Of course the wind doesn’t blow all the time, but when it is strong, water could be pumped into high lakes to run electric generators when there is no wind. In other words: Put big wind mills on the peaks and saddles, dig lakes in the peaks and let the wind pump the water into the reservoirs for future electric generation.

The Yellowstone area has immeasurable magma. It has been thought for some time that the magma might erupt. Vertical steel pipe forms will be erected in lines or clusters, utilizing the natural pressure to fill the molds with possible pump assist. Hardened magma pipe will be laid over onto skeleton rail cars for transport to the assembly sites. Continuous magma ledges 90 degrees apart support the rails and may be automatically adjusted to keep the cars running smoothly in line. The big plus, of course, is being able to use a very strong material in both compression and tension that is so widely available. There is no point in using expensive metals when magma in compression is available. Plenty of testing will be done to obtain the best designed uses. It might be called the Magma Age as the earth is full of it even as it has never been used.

  1. Magma is World wide avaiable forever to inject into molds without heating to form subway pipe and road slabs and many other products without reheating the magma. Super straight evacuated pipe allows individual freight and passenger cars to travel cheaply in safety at 1,000 mph. Airplanes could not compete. The freight and passenger cars would be electrically driven by windmill power and supported by maglev with backup energy stored as water in mountain lakes.
    Airplane type accidents and multiple waiting times and taxiing would be eliminated as well as the air fields and the space they require.!!. Stations would all be underground near downtown accessed by bus or taxi. Patents Pending. Yours in innovation forever, Lou Watson


  2. Yellowstone could be an extremely dangerous place. When it blows, it will be a super volcano. Wyoming and adjoining states will be wiped out.
    Look through the back issues of National Geographic.
