The invention comprises a magnetic disk storage system and comprises method for configuring the magnetic disk storage system. The methods include inserting free ends of continuous strands of filaments into blind holes in a moldbar, at least some of the blind holes having different depths andor extending at different angles. The refraction elements include complementary Wollaston Prism elements or Rochon Prism elements. The system of the invention is applicable both to rail vehicle carriers and ships especially adapted for carrying vehicles as well as to over-the-road vehicle carriers. Each electric generator may be interconnected with a respective wheel via a belt, a chain or other mechanism.
