SkyWay transport took the second place in the contest of the most impressive scientific and technical news, conducted every week by the TV program "Wonder of technology" with Sergey Malozyomov. In the struggle for supremacy, the technology left behind fresh ideas by Elon Musk, recent discoveries in genetics and developments of a leading American University in the field of robotics.

"Yunitskiy is confident that one day humanity will abandon dangerous cars and switch over to his mode of transport. Moreover, cities will become linear, built near stations surrounded with environmentally friendly nature and seedbeds with healthy vegetables and fruits," says the report.

Translation of the video:

New modes of transport from California and Belarus, a robot-builder and a medical experiment on the verge of breaking the rules. This and something else is in the hot Top-5 of stunning discoveries and inventions from the whole world. "Wonder of technology" is on air, the program in which me, Sergey Malozyomov, and my team test everything on ourselves.

You are watching "Wonder of technology". My name is Sergey Malozyomov. Now I am going to tell about whom we decided to award with the silver in our traditional contest of the most impressive scientific and technical news of the week. The 2^nd place of the hot Top-5.

The former tank range, 1-hour drive from Minsk, became a test site for the transport of the future. That is how the Belarusian entrepreneur and inventor Anatoly Yunitskiy calls his pet project. He proposes to launch electric cabins or monorail carriages of various capacity along lightweight elevated rails laid between supports. Each rail has a pre-stretched steel cable inside - a string that provides strength without raising the weight of the structure. Anatoly Yunitskiy plans to produce both cargo and passenger versions. The maximum speed will be 500 km/h. Certainly, the first pods are not as fast. The rides made by our filming crew inspire optimism. And Yunitskiy is confident that one day humanity will abandon dangerous cars and switch over to his mode of transport. Moreover, cities will become linear, built near stations surrounded with eco-friendly nature and seedbeds with healthy vegetables and fruits.
