VEHICLE

摘要

A vehicle having a rotating electric machine small-sized and whose power generating characteristics and torque output characteristics are adjustable. The vehicle includes a rotating shaft (11, 51, 111, 161, 211, 240, 290), a rotor (22, 62, 122, 172, 222, 260, 310) attached to the rotating shaft to rotate with it, and a stator (21, 61, 121, 171, 221, 250, 300) provided opposite the rotor with a predetermined gap in between. The rotor and the stator are provided with a rotating electric machine (20, 60, 120, 170, 220, 230, 280) constructed such that an air gap length functioning as magnetic resistance is adjustable and with an engine (10, 50, 110, 160, 210) connected to the rotor of the rotating electric machine.
