“HyTube” stands for “Hydrogen Tube”, with association also with “High Tube” , and is a revolutionary AIRBORNE Transportation System, LIFTED up to the Air, by the assistance of Hydrogen or Helium gases.
HyTube is a part of the FlyRoad, Flying Highway and FlyTube group of hydrogen-based futuristic technologies, invented by Grainis ltd. - BG201749079 - https://flyroad.alle.bg , https://letiashta-magistrala.alle.bg (BG)
Filling the Tube with Hydrogen will balance the internal and external pressures and no need of thicker (and costly) walls being built. Hydrogen molecule is the smallest one, times smaller than the air ones, and the friction will be ignorably low. Which will allow extreme speeds, much higher than 700 mph.
Also, the Non-Tube, 3-Linear Rail (3LR) could be applied, where the Tube is removed and the Pod levitates between 3 magnetic rails. This kind of construction could probably allow higher than supersonic, even hypersonic speeds.
Each one of the HyTube’s Elements / Modules shown above, is made of the strongest and lightest possible material, existing on the Earth, as for example Graphene, Carbon-Composite (CC), or porous, “Bone Structure”, Basalt-Fiber Composite (BFC). https://basalt.alle.bg
Each Tube's Modules is hermetically sealed and filled with Hydrogen. The 100% hermetic isolation is a strong guarantee against hydrogen leaks and eventual gas explosions.
The 12,000 cubic meters of hydrogen in each Module offer a significant lifting force of about 10 metric tons (10,000 kilograms) per Module, enough to carry the Module itself, plus one or two Hyperloop Tubes with Ultrasonic Pods moving at 700 mph inside, ( having in mind, that all this structure is made of extremely strong and lightweight material ).
A structural sheet, made of 200 layers of Graphene for example, is micron-thick and weighs a few grams per sq. meter, but is so strong, that is actually bulletproof. Which gives the idea that our Tube could be made of 2-3cm thick material, stronger than 10 cm Steel and lighter than Polystyrene, f.e..
For additional rigidness, a Reinforcement Grid made of BFC, will be added.
HyTube’s Altitude, Vectorizing and Millimeter-Fixed Positioning will be controlled by computers and released by continuous control and adjustment of the Hydrogen gas pressure by pumps, with regard of the external atmospheric pressure at the specific moment. Pumping more Hydrogen into the Tube will decrease its Altitude, while pumping out and compressing H2 in tanks, will increase it / lift the Module up.
During the day, HyTube System will be supplied with power from PV and CSP Solar Panels on the roof, and with non-stop, 24/7 Power and Hydrogen gas, produced by a SOH Gas Power Plant ( https://powerplant.alle.bg ), at a cost, close to zero.
HyTube System will be an excellent solution for lifting the most of the urban street traffic and parkings up to the air, thus releasing large urban areas for pedestrian zones, parks, gardens. The System will have numerous applications, as for example building luxury homes, offices, hotels, entertainment objects, etc. on it.
Tube will be used also for fixing powerful flood lights below, for lighting all the city in the night, and for mounting solar panels on the top, for supplying the city with electricity.
Hytube could easily bridge over large water surfaces and rough terrains, including high mountains.
Made of such an amazing material, filled with the lightest possible lifting gas, each of the Tube’s Modular Elements will actually play the role of an Independent AIRSHIP, which will be able to hover and could be also moved in the air by a Drone temporarily attached, or by its own, all-time-fixed, small Propeller Engine.
One or more of these engines, when the Module is being jointed with the other Modules into a long Tube, will be used to produce Counter-Force against the Winds and Storms, and also will be able to produce Additional Lifting Force if needed in some moments with heavier than regular loads, alongside of independent move in the air.
The Tube’s Rhombic Cross Section contour shape, similar to an Airplane’s Wing, will assist in this job as well.
Each engine could be actually a combined wind-turbine engine-generator, which could produce power out of the winds in some cases.
Also, in case of emergency, this engine(s) could safely land a detached Module down on the ground.
After a precise calculation, the exact number of such propeller engines will be planned for the best performance.
There is enough room on the Tube for various numbers of such engines :
Each of these engines will be Computer-Controlled, 3D-Vectorized and able to Oscillate in all directions in order to eliminate the wind forces in the best way. Thus an exact and a perfectly fixed position will be defined in the air space for each Module, no matter how strong the winds are and which direction they come from.
These propellers will produce a significant additional lift power, which will allow a Road Tube to be attached, alongside with one or more Hyperloop Tubes. Road Tube will be sealed, glazed, climatized, lighted 24h, watched by cameras and controlled by remote devices, so accidents will be decreased down to zero. Driving in such a Tube Road will be a grand luxury and a great pleasure and people will flock for such an experience.
Road Tube will allow also Parking and Trade Zones to be attached, with Malls, Motels, Restaurants, various Entertainments. Assembly-Modular Luxury Homes and Offices made of lightweight BFC, will be allowed for building on the Tube too. This will be an additional lucrative business, generated by the HyTube Project.
Each Module’s Engine/s will be powered by Electricity, produced by PV or CSP Solar Panels, fixed on the Module’s Roof.
CSP will also cool down the Module’s Roof by all-day thermal fluid agent circulating.
The number of the Solar Panels will be enough to produce and store power also for usage in the nights, and even for SALE.
The extra power produced will be stored in a tanks, under the form of Liquefied MOH ( LMOH ) Clean Gas Fuel ( https://fuels.alle.bg ), produced out of water.
So in the nights the stored MOH gas will be used to produce power again, by a small power generator, equipped in each Module. There will be a significant extra-production of MOH Gas which could be sold as a clean fuel commodity on the market.
So the HyTube could become a real Clean Fuel Refinery Business, generating significant incomes.
HyTube will be serviced on-the-air, by MOHGAS-Fueled Drones and Flying Cars. https://flycar.alle.bg
