Ladies and Gentlemen,
In order to relieve air traffic of the future underwater train tunnels were planned crossing oceans and connecting continents - however they are not an attractive solution at all... My idea was to build mega-ferries - however they were too slow, even at a travelling speed of 200 Km/h...
The new possible solution is the ferry-train Sea Monster which combines the advantages of high-speed trains (we should reach a travelling speed of about 800 Km/h) and of ferries (transport of many passangers and of some cars at sea)... It is called a ferry-train because the ship should consist of several sections with an own nuclear or thermonuclear propulsion - this is all because of security reasons: one section is damaged the passangers can be evacuated into the remaining sections (and then no life boats are needed)...
However the main feature of the ferry-train is the so called "dynamic keel..." This means you have got large turbines instead of a solid keel so that water can flow through the keel which means the lowest possible resistance... A dynamic keel can still manage its original stabilizing function because it is flooded with water and heavy - it has only got a little resistance in the forward direction... And then you can install many propellers into the long dynamic keel which provide with the necessary water-jet...
Such a ferry-train could transport about 10,000 passangers in each section: approx. 200 meters long, 40 meters broad (a catamaran hull for further stability at very high speeds), 3 passanger levels and an aircraft seating of 3 classes... So many passangers and the cheap yet very safe nuclear or thermonuclear propulsion would secure very affordable prices...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
