Provided is a gas pressure feed device capable of appropriately suppressing an increase in gas pressure in a system without inducing complications of control and system or increase in size. The gas pressure feed device (1) comprises a compression device (2) for compressing gas supplied from the upstream process and sending the gas to the downstream process; a shut off device (4) provided in the downstream further than the compression device for shutting off the gas heading toward the downstream process; and a recirculation device (6) for recirculate the gas shut off by the shut off device to the upstream of the compression device, and the shut off device includes a first port (11) on a primary side for introducing the gas from the compression device, a second port (12) on a secondary side for sending the gas to the downstream process, a third port (13) on the secondary side for sending the gas to the recirculation device, and a switching device (14) for switching the gas heading toward the secondary side to either the second port or the third port.

Implementations are described for maintaining helium/air mixture within a tube in an evacuated tube transportation system. A first implementation includes a set of helium tanks uniformly fitted along the tube length, where helium is injected with controlled valves that open or close to maintain the desired level of helium. An operations control center (OCC) receives helium concentration levels in the tube and instructs a controller in the tube to release helium into the tube when detected levels of helium is lower than the desired level of helium. Another implementation is described where a capsule traversing the tube may have a source of helium gas that can be released into the tube. A hybrid approach is also described where helium can be released from a source within the tube and from another source within the capsule.
