The innovative Magway system would ease road congestion by ferrying cargo through underground pipes.
According to Magway’s co-founder and technical director Rupert Cruise, the system was inspired by the Hyperloop. Rather than transporting people at supersonic speeds through a vacuum, the Magway system relies on linear magnetic motors that generate a wave of electrical current that propels standard-sized crates along a track. The crates can travel at speeds up to 31 miles per hour via a network that can run underground as well as along overhead pipes. The system was designed with automated warehouses like Ocado and Amazon in mind, with the Magway crates measuring about the same as those used by the retailers.
Mobility Vision (Jan-15-17) and Magway (Nov-20-19) together would transfer both people and parcels inside and between city buildings, even gastight. In some premises it could replace both elevators and escalators. Posted by Uolevi Kattun on November 23, 2019
