On the website of the journal «Popular Mechanics», there has been published an article «7 Technologies from Sci-Fi Movies that Have Become a Reality Today». The string transport was included in the list.
Rolling stock on suspended rails can be seen in the 2005 film «The Island». As the authors point out, the technology from the movie screen is very similar to the actual string transport. The difference is that the string transport is no longer fantasy and is being put into practice in Belarus and the UAE.
It begs the question: were the designers of the string transport inspired by the film? Probably not. It may even be the other way round. The string transport has been developed for more than 40 years by engineer Anatoli Unitsky and the Group of Companies he founded. Today, everyone is welcome to implement the technology in their city.
Along with the string transport, the list includes other technologies that have become a reality: flying cars, a jetpack, a hoverboard, smart sneakers and an exoskeleton.
