Pylon used in a sentence

Pylon in a sentence as a noun

Let's see, 1200kph, 30m, so you pass a pylon 11 times per second.

We made full scale models of those pylon held fuel tanks.

The Blackbird there is an M-21, which has a pylon on the top for launching drones.

Musk's pylons could handle the strain with smart structural engineering.

The pylon could be the target to disrupt the operation

So let's picture the pylon having a 4' x 4' base that sits on granite, requiring no foundation.

A 20 mile arc with a 20 mile radius will absorb a significant change in tube length with only modest pylon deflection.

They're the proverbial pylon that the industry can point to and say "there, we tried to innovate, piracy is bad, killing us!

What it says is that the tube is NOT constrained in the longitudinal direction on the pylons; it's free to slide back and forth in the direction of travel.

It doesn't take that much weight to get past what you could reasonably support on a pylon in a median... there's a reason inter-city rail isn't built this way.

Being mostly straight is a major item to overlook, as any pylon near any change in direction will have to deal with thermal expansion, not the end tubes.

It's a map design and racial balance issue, which tournaments usually solve systematically by placing a neutral supply depot to prevent placing a 3rd blocking pylon.

The major difference in Musk's design is that the tube would need to be periodically anchored in various dimensions to discourage the end-station movement and force the tubes to use the pylons' flex rather than snaking the whole length of tube.

His criticisms on the thermal expansion issue are founded on the mistaken assumption that the tube is fixed to the pylons; this is contradicted by the first paragraph in the pylon section, which indicates that the pipe is not fixed longitudinally to the pylons.
