After the submission of patents, "funded in part by The Technological Research Development Authority in Florida" (TRDA), Wilfred Sergeant and Karl Guenther agreed to identify the costliest item that best met system needs, the structure, and find the strongest, lowest cost alternative. | The selected structure shown below is called the triangular truss and is the darling of architects and professional engineers. This system has been labeled Suspended Overhead Automated Runway (SOAR) and can use Hub-motor wheels of rubber or steel, and can use magnetic levitation (we favor the Halbach Array demonstrated in Germany). |
We are presently evaluating these designs in steel, aluminum alloy with several modifications for production,
and they use of a patented concrete span poured into a composite material box. It's internal steel design allows it to be used to span two new links of support and has been tested by the AAR railroad testing organization and used in building several bridges. Below is shown the 3 piece rail. |
