Improve Current Collection in the Transport System of the Type "HYPERLOOP"

Background: The vehicle moved in the pipe with rarefied air with the high speed provides high labour productivity, safety, ecological cleanness, comfort and independence from the atmospheric phenomena. Aim: improving the current collection in the speed range of 500-700 km/h. Method: We develop the method of decreasing the wear of the contact insert by using disulfide solid lubricant. Results: of the solution of magnetohydrodynamics equations for the lubricant layer allowed to define the optimal value of the lubricant layer thickness. Conclusion: The use of this lubricant is advisable on an alternating current. In this case the wear of the contact insert, the degree of sparking and the electromagnetic noise are decreased.
