Introduction: 

 

The Cable Car is a transportation system in which the wagons are propelled by a continuously moving cable that runs at a constant speed. Cable Cars work with electricity; individual cars stop at each stop and then continue to their destination. The Makes Finding Company team is working to reduce traffic in New York City. Work is underway to develop a device that shows how many volts each motor can generate. A motor that detects electricity. An important characteristic that must be taken into account when developing the cables in which the car cable will transit will be the material from which it is made. It will be proved which generator has more benefits and will be taken into account based on an experiment.

The team aims to find the best device that can collect electricity data. Where you will know how much energy it will occupy per day, per week, and month. It is important to ensure that everything runs smoothly, the electrical power device will be under surveillance to ensure that cargo is being transported effectively and properly. The cable car will be essential for the tickets, this transport system will be fast and efficient for each of the passengers and at a low price. The technical team focuses on electricity, height, speed, and stability.

 

Abstract

Passengers will have a chance to ride in the air having a nice view as it will ensure that the cable car has a beautiful structure. This transportation system is faster and customers will travel from one stop to another until reach their destination. A group of engineers has worked to give disabled people an opportunity and benefits; They have created a cable car route only for people with health problems such as pregnant women and people who cannot walk so as not to disable in general. The route of the cable car is quiet despite carrying passengers above the ground. However, the cable car has a disadvantage to other transport systems and that is that built cable cars have capacities of up to 2,000 persons/h for aerial tramways and up to 4,000 persons/h for gondolas.

 

Procedure:

The Cable Cars do not have motors in the wagons. The team uses powerful electric motors that will drive giant wheels that pull cables, these cables go from station to station. Each cable has its own set of winding wheels. The rearmost winding wheel in each set is adjustable. As the cable naturally stretches with use, shop workers gradually move the wheel back to maintain constant tension on the cable. The cables are over an inch in diameter, with six steel strands of 19 wires each wrapped around a core of sisal rope. The kit provides a mechanical grip on the cable car, it hooks onto the cable, like a huge pair of pliers. 

 

Results:

The graphs show the volts obtained by the equipment during two weeks of testing. 120 volts per day, 840 volts per month, 3720 volts per week, and 43800 volts per year; These were the final results of the results. This Data was collected with a Devise, with the aim of obtaining information on how many volts the car cable produces during the day, week, month, and year. It was a long procedure of 6 months to be sure of having the corresponding data.

 

Conclusion:

The graph shows that the team determined that the necessary electricity for each drawer was not being obtained. Week one got fewer volts than week two. The team decided to provide more electricity for the cable car to have its maximum efficiency, this caused the week 2 experiment to increase the returns. It was possible to obtain a prudent capacity to provide the best experience to passengers. Finally, the capacity that this cable car has will be efficiently good for the entire city of New York; since it will not only reduce traffic but it will be a unique experience for all citizens because the equipment provides a good structural beauty.
