The Russian engineer Dajir Semiónov, indicated that the flying cars, complex networks of tunnels, monorails, cable cars or systems of viaducts on highways could seem an effective solution to forget about congestions once all, if not because it is too expensive and complicated systems, or that do not allow speeds or absorb the volume of passengers needed for that purpose.
Originally from the Russian republic of Karachay-Cherkessia, Semionov moved to Istanbul, where he established his Dahir Insaat company and developed a means of transportation that could completely change the way we move in big cities and travel.
The engineer is sure that "there is not a technical issue that does not have a clear and understandable engineering solution". Your own proposal to end the traffic jams is the use of gyroscopic vehicles.
¿How do they work?
To travel on congested roads, cars and gyroscopic trains only require a standard rail rail two centimeters high.
"A railway line only two centimeters high would not hinder traffic and could cross in any direction. As a result, we would get a very powerful means of transport able to move over existing roads today by just using a narrow line between lanes, "explained the Russian engineer on his Facebook account.
According to Semiónov's project, these innovative vehicles operate on the basis of diesel generators, and after 15 or 20 minutes of the start-up of their inertia wheels, the gyroscopes can already circulate partly using solar energy through panels installed in their ceiling.
Ecological and safe
In addition to ecological, gyroscopic vehicles would be a means of transport "totally safe". A trip in a train or gyroscopic car would be less dangerous than a bus trip, says the creator of the project.
"In the event of a collision, the airbags would be activated and the gyroscopic train would descend on them gently. We are sure that in a car of a gyroscopic train there would be fewer victims than in a common transport, since the blow would impact against the supporting structure and not against the body of the vehicle, where the people are, "Semiónov told RT.
The gyroscopic vehicles could not run over pedestrians or cause serious injuries: the most that could happen is that they push the person who gets in their way when they step on their lane, the engineer explains in his Facebook publication.
Semiónov maintains that, to become a means of public transport, the gyroscopic vehicles would be a spacious, comfortable and silent alternative that would help to considerably reduce the number of private cars on the roads and in the future would replace buses, trams and trolleybuses.
Luxury transportation
Inside the gyroscopic trains there would be space for cafeterias and various services. "Taking a cup of coffee or a glass of fresh juice with a sandwich on the way to work would be a daily occurrence for most passengers of this type of transport," says Semiónov on Facebook.
At the same time, traveling in gyroscopic transport could come to be compared to doing it in a luxury yacht and surpassing in prestige vehicles from brands such as Rolls Royce, Bentley, Bugatti, Ferrari or Lamborghini, the engineer says. You could install in them 'high standing' bedrooms, living rooms and kitchen, turn them into an office or a residence.
"There can be many variants of use for these spacious rooms on wheels: houses, offices, laboratories, intensive care units, dental clinics, restaurants, conference rooms, cinemas, children's play area, libraries," Semionov wrote last 9. of August.
Business that could generate a new economic sector
At the moment, Dajir Semiónov does not have contracts for the manufacture and supply of his invention, so the project remains for now in the papers and digital models. The engineer has told RT that his company is looking for different forms of collaboration, although it has not yet found sources of funding and has not yet signed any agreement for its production.
"To make a first functional prototype of small size and a real pilot project, with the preparation of the construction documentation, it would take about a year and between 1.5 and 2 million dollars," the engineer detailed.
Semiónov does not rule out that the investment in his project "could be the beginning of a multi-million dollar business that could reach billions of dollars" or even "generate a new economic sector".
He argues that the absence of orders is due to the fact that his company has not yet shown his innovative vehicle in operation. "As soon as people see that it is a stable and safe transport, the words 'futuristic', 'transport of the distant future' would disappear from the descriptions," he says.
"Workers in the transport sector would begin to meditate on the fact that it may actually be the only possible solution to the problem of traffic jams in the next 30-50 years, until no flying cars appear. Then, everything would change in an instant and everyone would want it in all those parts where there are traffic jams, "concludes Semiónov.
