Abstract:
1. A magnetic levitation transport system comprising: two tracks extending in a longitudinal direction; a generally U-shaped structure comprising a base and two generally T-shaped track supports having vertical bars which form vertical bars of the generally U-shaped structure joined by the base that has a length, a width and a thickness; a sequence of longitudinally spaced piers having cross beams supporting said generally U-shaped structure, said cross beams having a length substantially the same as the width of said base, and intermediate elements located on tops of both ends of the cross beams; and a magnetic levitation vehicle substantially centered on each of said T-shaped track supports, such that a vertical plane extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of one of said tracks would essentially pass through the longitudinal axis of said vehicle, the longitudinal axis of said vertical bars and through the intermediate elements.
