THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM.

This text is taken straight from the book "MY UFO" and is our start point for this excercise.

I like old methods of transport. Cars, motorcycles, bikes, trains, busses etc. These are all good for museums and Centres of Excellence. The transport system I have seen makes the following redundant. Cars : Great fun, dangerous, polluting but you can travel in private and go practically anywhere. Motorcycles : Even more fun and even more dangerous. Allow freedom and the ability to go anywhere. The tarmac takes up valuable space that should be returned to greenery. Trains : Take space, are dangerous, consume vast amounts of power but are great to ride on as you can read etc and do not have to control it. Busses : Used by Councils to save traffic space but spread germs and although you can do your own thing like read and listen to music, you are lumped in with everyone else.

The transport system almost solely used by the big 250 is in narrow tubes underground. Mostly, the control is from the beings personal device, the buggies are completely free of moving parts except the door, great speeds are achieved, collisions are impossible due to a build up of compressed air if a buggy comes too close to another or to a blockage. Some are driven by compressed air but the most advanced have coils around the tube powered by a power source charged by a solar or wind device. These are triggered by a buggy coming up the tube and the speed regulated depending on the type of tube you are in. For example, when you leave home in your car on Earth, you are travelling slowly and as you make your way to the motorway you get faster and faster. The tube system is the same. Slow when leaving the abode and fast when travelling around the planet. Air travel went as soon as these planets developed the tube system as the speeds achieved in a tube were far greater than in the air and 99.9% safe.

I did ask some questions and were shown diagrams. I asked if the buggies wore out or created friction or rubbed on the tube walls ? They have overcome this on the air powered systems by leaking air on the non-compressed side of the buggy around the seals so the seals ride on compressed air a bit like a hovercraft. Nothing wears out. Speeds are so great that the compressors are only on for seconds on each section of tube. I was shown a valve system and compressor tube where a valve opens to let a buggy through and closes behind it powering the compressor only in that section so there is always maximum compression and only that section of tube is on.

Only the owner and the immediate family are allowed to ride in an abodes buggy as all have one anyway and there is not normally enough time to talk anyway. This stops the spread of disease also. Behind the seat is storage space that doubles with an insert into a child carrying setup. So if Mum and Dad both have buggies then there is space for two kids. When the kid reaches a certain age it gets its own abode and buggy.

The air powered tubes have a power source at say one mile intervals where there is a valve and a compressor. The compressor sucks air from behind the valve and forces it down the tube in front of the valve. The mobile device has told the power source the buggy is coming and opens the valve and as the buggy passes it closes the valve. At 600 mph the compressor will have only been running for one second. The valves are designed so if there is a power failure the buggy will open the valve as it passes as it seems to be a long thin sheet pivoted at the entry end so it can be pushed open. If there is a buggy following then the compressor will be sucking it up the tube while it is blowing the front one away. The narrower these are the less power and air you need to blow them so they are generally one inhabitant wide with that being in a seated position. As there is no real time for a conversation or discomfort so it is deemed not to be a problem and any conversation can happen on the mobile devices anyway.

Underground tube system cuts out lots of problems like weather, walking to your car, driving, worrying about how your car looks, insurance, tax and MOT all gone, nothing to break or go wrong, no paint to scratch or cause pollution when it dries, no rusting, no deterioration, surface can be returned to landscaping, no road signs, no road lighting, no living being or animal can get run over, no oil, tyres, brake fluid, anti-freeze or fuel to worry about or cause us more problems in the future. Again, one can go on forever thinking of things. This goes for planes, trains and cars, busses etc.

Further more, your journey time will be nominal as serious speeds can be attained when in a straight line. The old air tube system for sending paperwork around a department store years ago worked on this principle. Shuttles took seconds to get from A to B. A study I heard about measured G force on a bend to be 28G when they tried to use this system for distribution of delicate objects. A human would be smashed if the buggy took a bend with this force acting on it. The "road" system comes in as explained above where the air pressure is set when in an "urban" setting to only subject you to 1g as in a car.

There was a machine shown to me that although there was no size reference points for me to know how big this was but if the guy standing in the picture was the same size as us this was making the machine about 10 feet wide and 50 feet long. It had two long shiny square metallic molds in parallel coming from the back which were the moving molds for two air tubes side by side. The machine moved forwards slowly digging its own trench, another moving vehicle would fill two hoppers I would guess the ingredients for cement and a liquid which was probably water but could have been different. The cement would mix and was extruded into the square trench dug by the machine which would set over the tunnel molds which were slowly being pulled from the cement as the machine went forwards. The machine then covered the new concrete tunnel tubes with earth from the front digging operation. My explaination of this machine was an extremely simple version of what was actually happening but to shorten it the tunnels were built behind it and the trenches dug in front. The machine also : Laid what was described to me as fibre optics, laid electricity cables, two different liquid tubes, sifted through the earth for anything useful and artifacts from a different era whereby only sifted earth went over the tunnels and these would be planted by an army of landscapers operating machinery from their own mobile devices whilst sitting at home. Also, contaminated earth from a past time would be picked up and taken away for processing. Another big space on the machine was taken with the equipment to make sure the tubes were in an absolutely straight line. This makes sure the future travellers were not subject to a rough ride. At 1000-2000 mph / kph you would feel every deviation even if it happened over 100 or so metres.

Once a planet has stabilised its population, built their abodes, linked them all up to the transport system and you have the majority of the tubes in place there is then relatively little to do. The compressors and valve need replacing occasionally and these seem to be done in one go by sliding the whole block sideways consisting of old and new systems whereas the new system is in play instantly and the maintenance is done on the old one in situ. This is then ready for another maintenance switchover or an emergency switchover. The whole thing can be slid even further sideways to reveal the tunnels in case of an emergency recovery. If a compressor fails before the other one has its maintenance done you just switch everything off leaving the valve open which renders the system just another piece of tunnel.

The examples I was shown seem to be on planets with a flat surface and one example that kept coming up was the huge planet where only the band around the middle was used as even when building underground, one side was too hot and one too cold. This planet had quite a few air tubes in parallel going right around the planet and some of the buggies the probe estimated to be doing three thousand miles per hour. Here you may have time to ring home and say "Put the kettle on!". Because of the flatness of the surface I asked what would be the use of this machine where we were in Otterburn? Another machine came into view where it was fed from the already made tubes and would dig its way right through any obstacle but appeared slower. Another strange device I saw already built was the tunnel joint crossing a fault line in solid rock. The tunnel would be opened to say double the width and height and metal tunnel tubes would take the buggy from one rock face to the other but was free floating so if the rock moved the tunnel would still be attached to the two tunnel entrances perfectly on both sides. Air pressure was dropped here to slow buggies down because of a possible change in course as even a centimetre would jolt you to one side and then back again at the other end of the metal section.
