Dog Ear Publishing author Randall Schwab, an industrial designer with 40 years of work experience in mechanical and structural design, offers a transportation concept to resolve commuter congestion in Wind Spirit. Imagine a system that uses 20-passenger cars that can change lanes on an elevated track, traveling at 80 miles per hour. The cars, constructed like the fuselage of small commercial planes, float just above the rail’s surface on permanent magnets. The system could transport up to 70,000 passengers per hour, per line and cost less to build than light rail systems.
The author, who holds patents related to his work with material handling, proposes several original concepts in Wind Spirit that could radically change public transportation throughout the country. The author describes how the cars could be built and how the system could be installed in Minneapolis. Detailed drawings of rail terminals and design schematics for the passenger cars add a compelling visual element to Schwab’s bold and ambitious vision for bringing the country’s transportation system into the 21st century.
