Post 4: Own drawing with relevant explanation


Here are two of my most recent sketches for the guideways. The requirements are to show that the bogie can stay perpendicular to the ground as the rails change in slope. To demonstrate this on the intermediate scale, I sketched an idea of how we can do this. (NOTE: The drawings are of the tracks and bogie only, I did not include post, support or cross section of the track. It is assumed that we will be using the current design of the track.) The top sketch shows a track that can demonstrate both turns and upward and downward movement. The figure 8 design allows it to come back to its initial position. The second drawing is a sketch of a one way track that goes upward on one side and then downward on the opposite side. This does not demonstrate both turning directions. Neither of the sketches include a off track that leads to a station. It is assumed that the full scale guideway already demonstrates its capability and does not need to be performed.
