htcendpoint GLASS-HOUSE FINANCE - Public Interest Project Note: We DO NOT solicit funds from the public, only from large venture capital firms, and well known individual investors, which we list in the fraud prevention page. If you have been contacted for money on behalf of this project, or (worse) have actually given funds, contact your local DistrictAttorney's office at once, because we did not get anything ! This year alone California, financial fraud exceeded 300 million dollars. What are Hallitubes?

Engineers: Have doubts on queueing issues or congestion in single lane systems ? How we are rapidly decongesting the endpoint of the tube, where Hallicarts would normally build up... Check out an image of switching tracks in a rail system without a switch ! Press Release upcoming . For freelancers and journalists, 55 critical answers ..The two inventors who started it all. Early cartoons mildly hostile to the system! Look at some thin structures carrying passenger vehicles. Patent portions showing difference in our approach. Yes, electric cars can go VERY fast... Are you tired of these daily subway events ? Here are urban transit alternatives compared.  

Everybody's first question: complaint
A typical morning commute. How many tubes exactly can you squeeze under a modern overpass - see image. The only factor that could halt the initiative (!). Do you live in a large metropolitan area ? Are you tired of these daily subway events ? Biolungs attached: Horizontal greenery gives Halllitubes an eco edge. How will you get to your Hallitube endpoint ? Venture capital firms - please contact us for a presentation with animations we cannot show here. 

Other Provision of the California Hallitube Initiative.

Combined referendum image gallery as quick overview . Check here what yielding lights for cars are all about. No more delays because of rubbernecking (slowing at accident sites) on passage of the Hallitube Initiative. Will you soon be able to see past SUVs? Have you ever been behind a bus that first stopped to disembark passenger and then a few feet later, stopped separately at a stop light ? Are you aware that there is a multi- billion dollar plan for a high-speed rail initiative which will not improve your commute ? Join us in the fight to allocate some of this money to increase your leisure time. Station based live annunciator boards for buses as part of the initiative.Want to zip with your car through congested cities ? Support the referendum with its novel MOPs ! (Minimalist overpasses). Why Hallitubes reunite the blue and red states ? Totally new: Modification of traffic rules based on driver-age.  Review  and shortening of handling of street-proximal suicides and police chases, with funds for novel car-stopping techniques. Ever gotten stuck in a shopping mall parking lot at lunchtime with cars unable to exit ? Vote for us and you will get cheap microflyovers for sedans, allowing you to exit quickly. 

It gets more exciting:  With simplified buses and cheap driver surveillance equipment, can select passengers become dhighwaytube rivers (for vast savings to the transit system) ? How can t he handicapped be made more mobile individually without depending on complex customized buses ? - take a look at the stair-cane.TM . How do the physics of the pinning force (in stabilizing repelling magnets) promise elegant enhancements to Hallitubes ? Gas prices quadrupling ? "Peak oil" phase ? Empty highways as people pool into impromptu "cabs" and cease single driver-travel ? No more need for tubes ? Halleycarts provide  tubeless individual transportation on dedicated highway lanes as automobiles remain undriven. Tired of cruising for parking spots inside large shopping malls on Saturdays. Check out the "Spot-a-lot" system, a part of the initiative. Also, we need to create INOVETA, Institute for Non-Vehicular Transit Alternatives. (Yes, it may be possible to move people via tubes in a cooled lubricant  environment (images)over distances up to 5 miles w.o. vehicles, w.o. new technology..)  And finally a complete summary of the referendum. It is all happening here in California - novelty-spring for the globe.

More on Hallitubes...fr

Tubes end directly in office buildings, and in dedicated homes in suburbs with a low cost, widely distributed  endpoint structure. Where there was previously only one suburban lightrail station to which users needed to commute, Hallitubes wind their way into each individual neighborhood. Carts are stored in stacking towers and on lawns, and you take off to work close to your own home, exiting at your own employer or a nearby firm. An apartment or condominium complex may store as few as 40 carts, so space is not a great issue. We also are actively looking at a non-rail design, where the cart is stablized by sidewheels. Non rail designs rise in value as the oil price rises, because the conversion of the cart to street use becomes cheaper. (Highway lanes get embedded powerlines (image) as traffic clears due to quadrupling prices.

munderground Historical images - originally it was a pullwiredesign...like the SF cablecar by Hallidie.

Competing/Augmenting Approaches

Flexcars. Good idea, should work off used vehicle fleet though,as
Enterprise will rent for 9.95 for a single day.

Inner city driving charges: In London, driving in the city carries a hefty charge. A good idea if safe, fast and comfortable alternate commuting systems are available. 

leftshadow Automated Highways: Interesting, but mechanical modifications to
vehicles too expensive for existing cars, and they use existing gridspace. 

If you are in San Francisco, visit the Hallidie Museum, on Mason Street.

 Useful, but system cannot fit under overpasses, thereby loses highway as
real estate.

Gondola-suspended cabin-PRT. Works, but does not fit under overpasses, and  therefore is not highway compatible. Hanging  gondolas are large and require true station construction, heavy wind resistance and dropping of cable at lowest point between poles mean they could run only at about half the speed of Hallicarts, and design assumes heavy automation.

Regular cabin-based PRT: Many installed systems, we analyze the differences between us and them in some detail here. 

New hybrids and power cells driven cars are all well and good, but the real issue is creating new roadspace. We are running out of grid.L

Links covering competing systems. Notice what they all have in common: Multi-passenger vehicles combined with expensive heavy support structures, waiting for vehicles, complex customized electronics , huge pricetags, and construction timeframe. Even if funds were infinite, these systems would not be thin and cheap enough to create a second-level tube structure winding into every neighborhood.
