Re: deckplans of a Infinity Conveyor anyone?

Jack Chalker's G.O.D. Inc. has some excellent suggestions for running a parallel world campaign. One company has a projector, being powered by an alternate dimension that is pure energy. They've set up a 'railroad' between worlds with designated switching points and receving stations to market products among all the dimensions. But there can only be one projector... As for the Horses thing, I was thinking in regards to the Monty Python skit and the havoc a pair of mechanical horses might have on followers. I intended no harm to actual living horses.

The pulsed power system for a 3.1 ton (6200 lb) vehicle should weigh 3100 lbs (3.1 tons*200kJ*5 lbs). That's the part that hurts. (If you are Centrum, the unit weight drops to 1550 lbs) If 50.5% of the mass of any conveyor is used up in the generator (.5%) and the power source (50%) you have quite a challenge. If you only throw a generator in and power it externally, you have a whole lot more useful weight. I've even considered separating the power storage for the generator pulse and the fuel cell used to charge it into separate values. Or change the weight per kJ value to get more efficient power systems. Anything to make vehicles more practical as conveyors. As it is, they are horribly inefficient.

These aren't perfect for deck plans, but they give you some idea of the BV206 model and its interior cab and trailer. BV206 Cab BV206 Trailer A civilian emergency version. Detailed BvS10 Stats

Re: deckplans of a Infinity Conveyor anyone?
With extreme power requirements, you may want to look at getting a static conveyor, essentially a flatbed with a loading ramp and just carry a regular vehicle or vehicles, returning to the conveyor to return.
Or concider installing capacitor banks and have generators at each end ready to charge the conveyor. A secondary generator can provide power for other systems and act as an auxillary slow charger for the capacitor bank. Just a thought!
