A new life for the pneumatic tube system

The Italian company Pipe§net want to revitalize the pneumatic tube system which was used for the transportation of money and change in department stores. They want to use a magnetic field to let capsules with a diameter of sixty centimeters float and move in a tube system.

Het Inteli-Tube Pneumatisch Transport Systeem

In de 19-eeuw werd de roltrap en een raketschip naar de maan enkel gezien als dwaze wetenschapsfictie, echter het vervoer van mensen via buispost werd niet alleen gezien als echte mogelijkheid, maar als onvermijdelijkheid. Eerst was de technologie om de noodzakelijke druk te produceren niet beschikbaar, maar uiteindelijk had de technische wetenschap deze dromen ingehaald. 12-07-2010 23-12-2019

The Inteli-Tube Pneumatic Transportation System

Pneumatic tubes used for transporting physical objects have a long history. The basic principles of pneumatics were stated by the Greek Hero of Alexandria before 100 BC. However, it wasn't until the industrial age that real work was being done on applying pneumatics to transportation. The first pneumatic tube systems were originally proposed in the early Nineteenth century by George Medhurst, a London businessman. 12-07-2010 23-12-2019
