600 Miles an Hour.



AN AMERICAN PROFESSOR

BAYS IT IS POSSIBLE

Dr Adolpha Brodbeok, Professor of Qreek ita the University of Nashville, Tennessee, believes that he has solved the problem of rapid locomotion. He has been at work on his invention for several years, and now that it is per fected he thinks it will likely revolu tionise the present system of transit; The result of his labour ia not the ordinary flying machine, nor te it an improved air ship. Hia ideas are be tween those of an aerial machine and a locomotive, and he parposes to avoid all the drawbacks of both, Instead* of the regulation 60 miles an hour, which is the average speed of a fast train, Mr Brodbeck intends to give to the world a means of going 600 miles an hour. The car is to ride upon

THE VSEt WINGS OF THE WIND,

being bald to ita coarse by retaining tipper rails, on whioh its wheels, when inWltpeed, are running lightly, and piweafe th© car from flying ofi into -pace, It ia driven by propellers, the luotive power of whioh is electricity, While exhibiting his remarkable car recently Professor Rrodbeck explained its construction act! pointed oafe its advantages mm existing methods of locomotion, The car will be cigar shaped when viewfld as a whole,' be ex plained, «It will be mad« of hard wood, aluminium, and glass. The carriages will be Btirroonded by a horizontal plane or shield, corresponding to some extent to the wings of a bird« This »«rop!ane is designed to maintain the equilibrium of th® machine. The manner in whioh the oar gains its start and is guided differs greatly from any of the present systems, and is, to my way of thinking, a great improvement over the old methods used in the flying machines. There are first

TWO BEM OF BAILS,

an outer rail and a little lower an inner let of rails, both on a light struc tar© like an elevated road for an eiec trio car, but ns the weight is not so great the structure can be much lighter aad simpler. Then there ia an *e*Qplan© with ventilators to regulate the upward tendency of the vehicle, a trolley in the middle of the aeroplane, or shield to guide tbe oar. The pas senger portion of the car is boat shaped, entirely olosed, and can comfortably accommodate about 25 or 80 persons; also mail, packages, and other baggage. One or two can aimilarly constructed may be attached to the leader. There are two air screws; eventually the propellers can be doubled and placed at the sides, so as not to interfere with the lifting air Bcrew. Lastly, there is the system of rollers for inner track and for outer track, Jt is clear that hundreds of debated problems will come up aa time for improvement, »s with all inventions, e.g, taking op goods and passengers with out stopping. I claim that the In vention is ready for commercial work, and already superior to ail other met hods, but we require the best engineering talent to make the success complete, and require great sums of money for developing the invention. There is practically

$0 LIMIT TO SPEED,

Wo cm easily travel ten times faster than the fastest trains of today, namely, 600 miles an hour—that is, ten miles a minute, and even more than that. There is no friction along the rajle, or scarcely any. It can be adjusted so as to bo practically equal to fc pro. With in creised speed there is no less energy required to propel, as the number of gupporting air exits is increased ; there fore the fister the cheaper. Since the first waggon wheel was made down to the present day, all transportation on Und has been on the principle of solid friction, or adhesion to the rails j now begins the epoch of the airscrew. All transportation has been by means of a wheel running from above, Thia was wrong in principle—at least if most rapid epecd was desired—because, as we now see.'it admits only of limited speed. How begins the epoch of the wheel Sightly pressing from below. Instead of fighting the air, we

MADE THE AIR ODB FRIEND,

Mr strong helpmate. And, therefore, Instead of making our vehicles clumsier we made them lighter and more ele gant every year. Instead of making Our locomotives more complicated, we make our air cars simpler every day, so that a child can understand and run them. Popularly described, the air car Is an artificial bird flying along rail propelled by electricity. Instead of imitating the clumsy elephant we now compstJ in eieganQ© with the swallows, and in ewjiteess we outdo the eagle and even, the storm. Obedi ent to the. elements and the laws of nature we make them our strong fxieods, For the first time lightning and storm are coupled together for drawing the chariots of peace. I have learned that air is a supporting me dium, it has a great power of uphold ing and propelling even, heavy objects. _^y its help, then, what cannot be ac complished with a light, evenly ba lanced machine?

JDEAL LOCOMOTION

aaid Profe»3or Rrodbeck, Ms the combination of locomotion on terra firm* with locomotJon in the air with all the advantage of both, but without the drawbacks of either—that is, safe, last, unlimitedly fast, economical ; in a straight line, and thus by shortest roate, t without necessity of carrying along machinery, without jerks, with out friction, without loss of energy,, without jumping from the rails, witlt-' out any ruination of the mschi&ev^, without resistance of the air, with<_nit resistance of the air, without incasing the weight of the track and locomotive for the sake of increased B§©®d, but th© faster, the safer, th& smoother, <&c more economical aa to energy and. as to using up of Bacteria).'
