Each shire has a minimum of three power plants and everything is run off of 12v, 24v and 48v DC power.  There are shires that specialize in the generation of power and will use a Tesla Wireless Broadcast Systems to send power to other shires.  This is an AC transmision that is converted to DC power inside the shire.

Between shires are a lattes of rails.  The rails are triangle shaped tubes tied together on all three sides to hold the heavy rails in place.  These are for shire to shire shuttles.  The rail is loosely tethered with chain to the shire, the shuttle extends out the end of the tube to make the physical connection with the shire airlock, but never leave the rail tube.  These shuttles are the main form of transport between shires for people and physical cargo.

Actually made of a compound similar to pyrex, these structures are predominate on the open surface of the shires and are used to produce steam.  Clear globes with a diameter of 12" with a mirrored bottom.  Within the globe is a cluster of clear capillaries that are there thinest at the focal point of the parabolic mirror at the bottom of the globe.  Water is pumped through channels  on the trunk, branched and is divided into the capillaries where it is turned to steam.  The steam is aggregated and drawn back through the branches and trunk to below the surface where it is used ro run motors and generators.

There are two floating cities on opposite sides of the earth that hold the base of the two great space elevators.  One off the coast from Perth, Australia and the other off the coast of Hamilton, Bermuta, both are owned and governed as commonwealth of the British Empire.  At the other end of the massive cable are the two great cities on the tripshires of Overland and Underland.

The cabin, built like a zepplin or cruise ship cabin is a contained town under the rule of the Elevator Captains, loyal to the crown.  The wealthy travelers are one the outside and top of the cabin while common passengers are on the interior.  It takes the cabin about 30 days at a little better than 15 meters per second to go one way.
