American scientists have created a unique “space tram”. Video

SpaceTram system uses the technology of vacuum Hyperloop transport and trains on magnetic levitation.

Engineer James Powell of the United States, which is one of the inventors of magnetic levitation technology, has developed a special electro-magnetic cannon to launch spacecraft into space without using the usual rockets.

“The system SpaceTram that enterprising inventor has patented, uses the technology of vacuum Hyperloop transport and trains on magnetic levitation. The spaceport will provide a big vacuum tube pointing up. Since the friction is absent, the embedded object will be able to accelerate to a speed close to the second space,” — noted in the material.

As highlighted in the publication, thus the “space tram” will overcome the gravity of the planet, or, if necessary, will remain in orbit. With this new system Bezruchenko the launch of the first generation will be able to work with devices weighing up to 100 kilograms, and the second generation will operate a reusable capsule with passengers onboard.

Powell believes that the congestion in the vacuum tube will be relatively low, around 2−3g, so allegedly does not require travelers training provided to astronauts.

It is planned that with the help of SpaceTram spacecraft will be able to run even those countries which could not afford the immense cost of the missiles.
