<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power device that can inspect the latent risk caused by an outflow of a compressed gas before it occurs, and is operated by the compressed gas to provide a driving force, to provide a vehicle that uses the power device, and to provide a method of driving the vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: The power device includes: a gas tank 2 for storing the compressed gas; a tank main valve 5 provided in an opening of the gas tank 2; a gas machine 3 driven by the compressed gas that is provided through the tank main valve 5; a control valve unit 6 for controlling the output of the gas machine; and an operation selection device 101 for switching the states between a stopped state in which the tank main valve is closed, a driving state in which the control valve unit is operated while opening the tank main valve, and an inspection state in which a compressed gas leakage inspection is performed by operating the tank main valve while the output of the gas machine is substantially minimum level. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
