  1. 3S Aerial Tramway

    The 3S Aerial Tramway US or 3S Cable Car Europe is an cabin aerial tramway which was developed by the Swiss company Roll transport systems in Thun to unite the advantages of a pendulum aerial tramway with their one normal, coupleable single rope cabin aerial tramway. Technical description of first systems The first plant of this type, called Alpine express I , was built in 1991 in Saas Fee . In 1994, a further section the Alpine express II became operational, however, a continuous service of both sections is not possible. The cabs of these plants have space for 30 persons and travel with a speed of 6 m s pulled by an endless hauling cable, and suspended from two carrying cables. A lane thus consists of three cables from which the system takes its name . As with most rotating cabin railways, gondolas are detachable from the cables in order to allow easy disembarkation without disrupting the transit of other cars on the system. The system offers the following advantages over less sophisticated aerial cable driven transportation systems lower energy consumption compared with to and from system aerial ropeways of similar capacity increased wind stability larger grund distances possible high driving speed in relation to unity express orbits Speeds over 7 m s are possible high passenger capacity Development and building of the Alpine express I cost 70 million Swiss franc SFr . The company of Roll built no more further 3S Aerial Tramway after the two systems in Saas Fee.

  1. Feldmoos-Chli-Titlis Aerial Tramway

    Feldmoos Chli Titlis Aerial Tramway was an aerial tramway in Switzerland . It was built in 1979 by the Swiss company Habegger between Feldmoos and Chli Titlis for the erection of a communication facility on Chli Titlis. The aerial tramway was used for transporting goods with a weight up to 3.8 tons also for transporting up to 20 people. It used only a single vehicle. After completion of the facility the aerial tramway, which remained property of Habegger, was dismantled in 1986. The aerial tramway had five towers and a total diagonal length of 4675 metres. The support rope was installed on four towers, the upmost tower was only used for the return rope, in order to avoid its collision with the suspension ropes. The most important feature of this aerial tramway was that it used the longest span of all aerial tramways ever built with a length of 3467.1 metres. For this span field special markings were required every 100 metres, there was a red coil and every 500 metres an aircraft warning lights aircraft warning light . For their power supply a wind generator buffered by accumulators was used, which made technical problems at the beginning. The diametres of the both suspension ropes was 46 mm, that of the push rope was 38 mm. The drive was done by a DC engine with 301 kW in the valley station. The maximum speed of the gondola was 6 m s to 10 m s.

    Citations missing article date May 2009 A T aerial is an antenna radio used for VLF, LF, MF and shortwave transmission or reception. It consists of a horizontal wire suspended between and insulated from two radio masts and towers radio masts or towers . A vertical wire is connected to the middle of the horizontal wire and hangs down close to the ground, where it is connected to the transmitter or receiver. The two wires form a T shape, hence the name. Sometimes a group of parallel wires, known as a cage, is used instead of a single wire. This reduces the Q factor of the antenna and broadens the bandwidth over which it will provide good impedance matching . T aerials are frequently used as transmitting aerial for long and medium wave broadcasting.

  1. Ungerer Tramway

    unreferenced date November 2007 The Ungerer Tramway was the first electrical tramway in Munich . It was built by engineer and owner of the Ungerer Bath, August Ungerer to connect the bath with the 750m distant stop of the horse powered tramway. The 1.2 km long Ungerer Tramway existed from 1 July 1886 to June 1895, when it was adjusted because of the extension of the horse tramway until to the north cemetery. The current supply was made with x volt as at the Gross Lichterfelde Tramway by the rails, which began only some meters after the last stops, which were increased. Thus for a start of the trip the brakes were loosened, whereby the train loose rolled by the force of gravity, before it began to drive electrically. The vehicle shed with the clock tower for the two green motor coaches with gold ornament and two summer cars still stood in the year 1944. coord 48.171 N 11.596 E display title source dewiki Category Rail transport in Munich Category Tram transport in Germany Category History of rail transport in Germany Category Railway companies established in 1886 Category Railway companies disestablished in 1895 de Ungererbahn ...   more details
