Abstract
A transportation system for moving a transportation module comprises a thrust tube and a pod assembly disposed inside the thrust tube to be thrusted along the thrust tube. An inner magnetic coupler is disposed inside the thrust tube and connected with the pod assembly to be moved by the pod assembly. An outer magnetic coupler is disposed outside the thrust tube and configured to connect with a transportation module. The outer magnetic coupler is spaced from the inner magnetic coupler by the thrust tube and is magnetically coupled with the inner magnetic coupler to be moved by the inner magnetic coupler. An inner spacing member is disposed inside the thrust tube and spaces the inner magnetic coupler from the inner surface of the thrust tube by a preset distance. An outer spacing member is disposed outside the thrust tube and spaces the outer magnetic coupler from the outer surface of the thrust tube by a preset distance.
