Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the transport efficiency and maintain the thrust even if the shape of the line of a transport pipe changes by installing a permanent magnet onto a capsule-shaped traveling body and arranging a continuous coil in the longitudinal direction in a flexible transport pipe and using the electromagnetic force as thrust. CONSTITUTION:When an electric current flows in the coil 2 of a flexible transport pipe 1, a permanent magnet 3, i.e., traveling body 4 advances. If the electric current which flows in the coil 2 is set reverse, the traveling body 4 advances furthermore. The traveling body 4 advances, and even if the relative position of the traveling body 4 for the coil 2 changes, an ac current flows in the coil 2 so that the traveling body 4 is always pulled from the front and pushed from the rear, and polarity is changed, and the traveling body 4 is continuously applied with a thrust. Therefore, in order to increase the transport efficiency, it is enough only to increase the electric current which flows in the coil 2, and the economic efficiency is improved. Further, even if the shape of the line of the flexible transport line 1 is changed, the thrust is not influenced, and the utilization for the ocean space is permitted.
