ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic pipeline transportation system for solid, containerized cargo. Cargo carrying vehicles are propelled within a hollow guideway adapted to hold movable vehicles of substantially similar cross-section. Kinetic energy is applied to the vehicle intermittently, causing the vehicle to set a trapped column of air in the guideway in motion. The air column acts on adjacent vehicles, and in combination with the applied force, propels the vehicles through the guideway.
