Magway carriage

Magway carriage. Magway is an e-commerce and freight delivery system that aims to transport goods in pods that fit in new and existing 90 cm-diameter pipes, underground and overground, reducing road congestion and air pollution. The system uses an electromagnetic wave, generated by highly efficient linear synchronous magnetic motors (like those used in roller coasters), to drive multiple carriages capable of carrying online goods along a track. Travelling at just over 30 mph, and milliseconds apart, the carriages are propelled through a network of pipes to local consolidation centres. The gifted objects are a section of track, a carriage and a linear motor - the fundamentals of the system.
