SkyTran is a proposal by
Doubglas Malewicki[?] for a 100mph
personal rapid transit system. Each car would be suspended from a magnetically-levitated bogie in an overhead track. The
magnetic levitation system[?] would be the passive "
Inductrac[?]" system using
Halbach arrays[?], as developed by Physicist
William Post[?] at
Lawrence Livermore Laboratories[?].
Other than the speed and suspension, the technology proposed is unremarkable. The system as a whole is engineered to give comfort, safety and convenience superior to an automobile or bus for transporting people. It is intentionally not designed to transport cargo.
