Russian monorails〔(Oleg Izmerov. The Unknown Russian Monorail )〕〔(Oleg Izmerov. The death of sensations or strange episodes in domestic monorail history. )〕 date back to the 19th century. Russia was a pioneer in the design and construction of monorails, from early horse-drawn models to later electrical and magnetic levitation systems. ==Early designs== The first Russian monorail was built by Ivan Elmanov in Myachkovo village, near Moscow in 1820. In this "road on pillars", horses pulled railroad carriages placed on a horizontal beam. The wheels were mounted on the beam, not on the carriages. Elmanov could not find investors to fund for his project, and stopped working on the monorail. In 1821, Henry Palmer patented his monorail design in the UK. In 1836, Prince Beloselsky-Belozersky proposed another monorail design which contained two rows of wheels on mounted on a pillar structure. In 1872, a monorail designed by Lyarsky was shown at a polytechnic exhibition in Moscow. In 1874, Alexei Khludov constructed a monorail for transporting wood. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monorails in Russia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
