Hello,
I came across your website. It seems like a very interesting idea.
One question I could not find answer for in the website, is how fast could such a system be?
Thank you & Goodluck.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I run a small blog/information resource where I am trying to bring
together information/news about eco-initiatives related to innovative
tourism projects and wider environmental issues. Please see
www.carbonneutraltourism.co.uk <http://www.carbonneutraltourism.co.uk> I would like to write a post on the blog about some of the concepts
which you are developing and I was wondering if you have any press
releases and images I could use.
I imagine this could be of interest to readers of the blog and I would
be happy to provide a link to your own website.
With kind regards Richard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: email list

Fantastic idea, I see a huge potential and it seems that the footprint both physical and energy wise would be small - fantastic. Please put me on your email list as I would like to learn more and follow this concept and potentially assist at some point.
Thanks,

To:info@thehighwayinthesky.us Ben, I work for a small company that makes small motor drivers and motion
control systems.
Our web site is testra.com About twenty years ago it became apparent automobile based transit was
dangerous,
more than forty thousand people die in auto accidents each year,
inefficient, noisy,
disruptive and consuming natural resources at an unsustainable rate. I
began working
on the problem and applied to the DOT for a grant to design a new
transit system.
The plan was to have engineering students at ASU draw up plans for the
system, and
build a demonstration model, but it was rejected, they were looking for
ways to
improve current technology, not come up with a new method. I was thinking it might be possible to fund the project using donations,
that would convert into stock options when the project became viable,
if the scheme didn't violate SEC regulations. I have a rough design for a 1/25 scale model and plan to build a small
system
in the future to prove the concept. The correct way to market the
project would be create
an animation using Solid Works or AutoCad and sell the idea directly to
the public.
The new system would be disruptive to all segments of transportation
but small electric
vehicles, so I wouldn't expect much support from current financial markets. I roughly estimate the system would cost about 1/3 of the auto based
system and reduce
transit time by a factor of two or three. (a 600 to 900 percent
improvement in efficiency) The track is elevated using the same technology as above ground power
distribution.
Vehicles are ultra light and always kept at least 180 feet apart to
minimize the load
and cost of the rails. The rails are passive, there are no switches,
cars change tracks by using
an alternate set of wheels. What is your field of expertise? John Hart ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Questions about Mass Tram

To:<info@thehighwayinthesky.us> How many de-commissioned Boeing 727’s, 737’s, and 757’s are available in the US? In the world?
Does your estimate of capital costs include an allowance for stations?
Are you familiar with Aerobus?
Aerobus is a very similar technical concept that has built several prototypes but doesn’t have a fully functioning system at this time.

I just want to say that's a nice site you have. But there's one thing you are lacking.
I'm a member of the Monorail Society, www.monorails.org, the world's largest online monorail resource. I think you should both join the society (it's free!) and link the site.
Thanks for your attention, and enjoy our site!

I was wondering when the next was scheduled? Likewise, if you have any more literature that you disseminate to the public. I would be interested in seeing that.

I read about it in the Willamette Week and then checked out your website. I hope it will sometime in the near future. I think it would be great to have a tram that connected Seattle to Portland, for starters project. Eventually connecting the entire west coast could be a smart extension of that, since the west coast is so coast. but of course, you'd have to be careful about disturbing the landscape. Following existing interstates would America, there's I-70, I-80, and I-90 that could easily be followed, as long as you made sure major cities were being I would definitely use this system, and I know many others would as well. I don't know that my experience would help project; I work mainly with buildings-energy and water efficiency. But if you want to stay in touch or if you think manner please let me know.
