Abstract:

The objective of a power collection system is to deliver uninterrupted power from the wayside to a vehicle. In order to apply the third rail concept, used for subway power collection, to the tracked air cushion vehicle, considerable improvement must be made in the design to accomodate higher speed, higher power, and larger lateral motions. This report classifies sliding contact collectors for solid rail, discusses merits and problems with each, and surveys several existing and planned sliding contact collectors
