Summary -
STC International
has developed an
Overhead Suspended Light Rail System
model which
is applauded by all who view the technology in operation. It is now
ready to advance to the specific design and construction of this system on
a 74 acre site at Florida's Museum Of Science and Industry Campus (MOSI). This
system will use an existing
Solar Array
which will charge capacitor banks
used to flash charge the vehicle's on board
battery capacitor system as it arrives at each station. Additionally,
motors on
board during
braking, become generators to feed energy back into the on board power
supply. In August 2008 STC began using funding from a
Department Of Energy Grant to start this design process on a
new Power Accumulator Transfer System.
Findings have encouraged a recent submission to the National Science
Foundation that will involve a
power grooming system design reducing
energy consumption and pollution
from existing ship cranes at seaports.
Recently received Testimonials on Sky Train from GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS on this page, from Academia on the Universities
page and from Captains of Industry on the Businesses page. See

testimonials.
December 2, 2008, Senator Mike Fasano wrote to the
National Science Foundation in support of Sky Train's
crane upgrade system, which "will surely lead to Green
Tech jobs, a reduction in air pollution, and aid in the
desire to become an energy independent country."

Senator Mike Fasano to the Honorable Stephanie Kopelousos of the Florida
Department of Transportation
"I would like to inform you of a breakthrough in
the energy savings and rail transportation. Sky Train is is a
National Climate Change solution fitting many Smart Growth/Transit
Oriented Projects. After being reviewed by
consultants of the National Science Foundation, Grand Canyon "Parks" and
Orlando Airport this technology was short listed as meeting their
criteria."
