The Aeroslider is a conceptual high-speed ground transportation system that combines linear electromagnetic propulsion with elevated infrastructure. Conceived by Danish design consultancy Manyone[1], the project based on the Ringway Transportation System[2] developed by inventor Naveen Chaudhary in 2004 as its principal technological inspiration.[3][4]
Background
In 2004, Naveen Chaudhary proposed the Ringway Transportation System[5], a cantilever-supported mass-transit concept in which vehicles would "glide" through a sequence of ring-shaped frames using either chain-drive wheels or magnetic levitation.[3] Although no full-scale prototype was built, the patent circulated within futurist and design communities.[6]
Development
In 2019 the Copenhagen-based studio Manyone[7] [8]released visualisations for the Aeroslider, describing it as an "international flying bullet train" that would run at 800 km/h (500 mph) through a series of electromagnetic "portal loops".[4] [9]
Technology
Electromagnetic portal loops
Like the Ringway pillars, Aeroslider infrastructure is modular. Each 65-ft-tall portal loop contains sequential coils that accelerate a 250-m passenger capsule via synchronous linear induction, eliminating the need for onboard propulsion.[4]
Helium ballast
Borrowing from Chaudhary’s proposal to exploit buoyant forces, Aeroslider integrates helium reservoirs that lighten the capsule by roughly 10 percent, reducing the magnetic thrust required for levitation.[10]
Proposed network
Manyone’s designers outline an elevated single-track corridor linking major Eurasian and African cities—including Shanghai, Moscow, Istanbul and Lagos—while avoiding large bodies of water and mountain ranges.[4] A Shanghai–Moscow journey is projected to take 12 hours, compared with 8½ hours by air when layovers are included.[11]
