Joint Project Marketing, Testing and Engineering of patented (October 24, 2006) Sky Trains OSLR that was awarded 63 claims for 3 unique energy saving systems even over rail vehicles saving some 40% to 70% when stopping every 1Km, having acceleration of 1.0m/sec/sec up to 80KPH: Funded in part by a Florida TRDA Grant see: www.trda.org they initiated a SATOP joint design by NASA partners. Presently being Sponsored as a Budget Item for Vendor selection, Design and Costing to build on the grounds of Tampa's Museum Of Science and Industry: (Statistics) web page; www.MOSI.org picture; (Master Plan) and News video clips; Fox 13 movie clip and Bay News 9 movie clip Support by Florida Representatives Senator Fasano and Representative Homan. See http://www.flsenate.gov/data//Publications/2006/senate/reports/budget_issues/SENReq3041FY0506.htm Tracking # 3041 and http://www.flsenate.gov/data//Publications/2007/senate/reports/budget_issues/SENReq1247FY0607.htm for the second year. Recently displayed as a portable operating system at the venue "Great Explorations" all about the trains (OUTSTANDING FEATURES) talks about Environmental issues evading natures fury while enhancing security. Participation in a University of South Florida presentation on smart growth http://www.stpt.usf.edu/brownbag/09-08-06-growth.asp contains a PowerPoint and input on Communities and the Environment A (Movie of Operation) shown here is ALSO available by request as is a PowerPoint which features and explains, with a voiceover a short "History and Technology of Monorails". Joint Project Partners: One of our premier partners, steeped in high technology, ARC International Associates Inc., information is at http://home.att.net/~arc-djt/ . They are world-class technology implementers and would handle integration of accessory needs. We have a Joint Venture in the United Kingdom since 2000, shown at www.SkyRailGB.com they are coordinating European efforts! Sky Train is also being represented by http://www.asianwildlife.com/products/skytrain/mission.asp as a solution for the theme park area where fences and other constraints limit transportation routes. They have presented the above PowerPoint on their web site. Sky Train is further Pre-Qualified under Category 13.5 with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). This governs the Assessment of corridors proposed for installation of various modes of transit. We participated in FDOT's First Annual Transportation Summit in 2003 http://www.transplexfl.com/pdfs/2005-photos.pdf is their photo contest see slides 32 - 35. We are testing our concepts at this location with the aid of the Largo Central Rail Road in Florida, US . They, especially George Taylor have helped us build and test our 1/6 scale operating Sky Train model. It features regenerative braking (restoring the energy of braking to the battery power supply) with an airbrake safety circuit. It includes computerized interlocks for safety! It was first displayed in Florida Department of Transportation's "Transplex 2003 planning conference. The local Designer-builder of the Greater Florida LEGO® Train Club has built an Automated People Mover with programmable controller showing the Sky Train concept. Allied companies in Manufacturing, Design, Consulting, Engineering, including résumé's change generally as to location and are given on request:
Sky train is further connected to the University of Washington a major Transportation resource. This accesses the different "Innovative Transportation Technologies (ITT). This listing can be seen by clicking on "Suspended Vehicles" on the site http://faculty.washington.edu/~jbs/itrans or mail Professor Jerry Schneider using e-mail at jbs@peak.org A very fine group of dedicated supporters of monorails is located at http://www.monorails.org the site of Founder and President Kim Pedersen. They have over 4,800 members. We have received many requests due to the above two links, we thank them for their dedication! "Sustainable Communities", a hot topic and necessary endeavor for the continuing "Quality of Life" is found at USF http://www.ficus.usf.edu/ Further links in Germany are http://www.wupperinst.org Federal Highway administration: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/State DOT's http://www.dot.state.fl.us/ An essay on "transit trends" with 24 additional site specific links for data. |
