A SELF-POWERED PERSON CARRIER

摘要

The person carrier has two hydraulically driven wheels at the front and two trailing castor wheels behind and is powered by a small gasoline engine through a pump inside a hydraulic module. Beside the forward-facing seat is a single hand control knob for causing proportional forward or backward motion and steering. Knob movement is translated into hydraulic module controls so that appropriate movements are made. The long range vehicle is adapted for off-road use and will proceed through snow, mud, dry sand, long grass, and over hills. An optional electric motor provides an alternative for silent motion indoors.
