Abstract: An off-shore port system includes a land-based port infrastructure area, an off-shore cargo ship docking area located in a body of water, and a transportation system having at least one tube connecting the land-based port infrastructure area and the off-shore cargo ship docking area.
Abstract: A method for manufacturing at least one transportation tube having a plurality of transportation tube sections for a high-speed transportation system. The method includes manufacturing the tube sections in-situ adjacent to an approximate path of the transportation system where the tube sections are to be positioned.
Abstract: An axial compressor includes a housing and a plurality of stages arranged within the housing and along an airflow direction, each stage of the plurality of stages including a first blade assembly and a second blade assembly, wherein the first blade assembly is a rotor, each rotor being drivable independently from the rotors in the other first blade assemblies.
Abstract: A magnetically continuous winding includes a first coil and at least one additional coil substantially fixed in place in at least one direction with respect to a position of the first coil. A core formed by a resin is applied to the first coil and the at least one additional coil to substantially bind the first coil and the at least one additional coil.
