The Veltron System
Veltron is a modular transit system designed for mass movement between distant settlements. Unlike conventional trains, Veltron is a suspended monorail that relies on external propulsion. It travels through hexagonal Booster Portals — energy rings that provide instantaneous acceleration via plasma bursts, eliminating the need for heavy onboard engines or limited fuel cells.
The Challenge
The primary challenge was to rethink the concept of "public transport" for a species that doesn't share human biological needs. Voltaris do not require seats, windows, or climate control. The design had to prioritize pure functional efficiency, maximum capacity, and a seamless integration with the planet's energy grid.
The Solution & Impact
I developed a "Parasitic Power" infrastructure where Extraction Cores pull plasma from deep underground rivers to fuel the Booster Portals. For the interior, I designed the Exo-Clamp Restraints — an automated suspension system that locks passengers in vertical rows, preventing movement during high-velocity acceleration. Using Houdini, I created a modular carriage design that can be easily reconfigured for cargo or passengers. The resulting system is an infrastructure-dependent transit network where the route can extend as far as the portals are installed, proving that mobility in the Voltaris world is an extension of the planet's own energy pulse.
