LEVITATION VEHICLE USING COMPRESSED AIR

摘要

PURPOSE: A levitation vehicle is provided to minimize friction, to reduce energy consumption, and to realize a high speed travel by levitating a vehicle using compressed air. CONSTITUTION: A levitation vehicle driving device comprises a compressor(1) compressing air, an air tank(3) storing the compressed air, a manostat(2) supplying the compressed air in a uniform pressure, and a solenoid valve(4) helping control function via supplying and cutting off the compressed air. By jetting the compressed air stored in the air tank in a static pressure, a vehicle is levitate from the bottom. By opening or closing the solenoid valve, the compressed air is jetted to the bottom. Then, driving force and control force is obtained. Like a magnetic levitation vehicle, low energy consumption rate and high speed travel are realized by minimizing friction. By using air as an operating fluid, environmental pollution is restrained.
