The subway train that can climb a skyscraper: Radical new concept could see vertical stations in New York and London. Trains are able pivot like a Ferris wheel as they reach tower
Magnets will allow the train to rise up the tower
HOW IT WORKS:-
As the train travels close to the tower it transitions from its horizontal formation, and ascends up the facade vertically.
The individual compartments pivot similar to a ‘Ferris wheel’, allowing the passengers within the carriage to remain in an upright position and facing towards the cityscape.
The carriages will be supported by a magnetic structure located at either side.
This eliminates the need for rails beneath, and allowing the carriages and its passengers to connect to the tower.
Passengers will travel into the main lobby allowing travelers to ascend through the atrium and through the platforms and onto the carriages.
