Abstract

The vehicle in hover mode is controlled so that its wheels contact the under surface with a constant optimum light pressure. The motive power, provided by an IC engine or an electric motor (11), is transmitted across its wheels to the roadway or the railway track. A spring suspension (7) is provided for the wheels. The hover vehicle is equipped with lateral and elevation control surfaces (3,4). These, by electronic counter control, compensate for the deviations from the optimum pressure on the wheels or using an alternative for a rail connected application. Auxiliary wheels are provided which engage under the rail bulge and hold the vehicle on the rails. ADVANTAGE - Optimum pressure of wheels on bearing surface is maintained to reduce fuel consumption. Hover power is aeronautically obtained.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schwebekraftfahrzeug für Straßen und Schiene.The invention relates to a levitation vehicle for roads and rail.

Kraftfahrzeuge verbrauchen mit abnehmendem Gewicht weniger Kraftstoff, dadurch daß der Reibungs­ widerstand der Räder mit abnehmendem Druck auf die Räder geringer wird.Motor vehicles consume with decreasing weight less fuel because of the friction resistance of the wheels with decreasing pressure on the Wheels gets lower.

Wenn das Gewicht des Kraftfahrzeugs jedoch zu gering ist, könnte das Gefährt bei Seitenwind, Kurven­ fahrt oder Unebenheiten der Straße von der Fahrt­ richtung abkommen.If the weight of the vehicle is too low the vehicle could be in cross winds, corners driving or bumps in the road from driving towards the direction.

Ein optimaler Druck des Fahrzeugs auf den Unter­ boden ist aus den genannten Gründen sehr wünschens­ wert.An optimal pressure of the vehicle on the sub Soil is very desirable for the reasons mentioned value.

Technisches Problem der Erfindung ist also das Erreichen eines optimalen Drucks der Räder auf den Untergrund, so daß das Fahrzeug zwar sehr leicht, aber immer noch manövrierfähig und, über die Räder, antriebsfähig bleibt.So the technical problem of the invention is that Achieving an optimal pressure of the wheels on the Underground, so that the vehicle is very light, but still maneuverable and, over the wheels, remains drivable.

Schwebefahrzeuge, wie Magnet-Schwebebahn oder Luft­ kissenfahrzeuge (Hoover-Craft) haben das o.g. technische Problem durch die Herstellung eines Schwebezustands durch bekannte Antriebe gelöst. Der Nachteil dieser Lösungen ist, daß sie Energie für die Herstellung des Schwebezustandes benötigen. Das o.g. technische Problem wird erfindungsmäßig dadurch gelöst, daß auf dem Dach des Schwebekraft­ fahrzeugs ein rel. großer Flügel angebracht ist, oder das gesamte Fahrzeug zu einem Flügel geformt ist. Die Auftriebskraft des Flügels hebt das Ge­ fährt hoch und es erlangt einen rel. Schwebezustand, allerdings nur soweit, daß die Räder noch mit optimalem Druck den Unterboden berühren. Das wird dadurch erreicht, daß das Schwebekraftfahrzeug mit Höhen- und Seitenruder ausgestattet ist, die die Abweichungen vom Optimaldruck auf die Räder per elektronischer und mechanischer Gegen­ steuerung ausgleichen, bzw. bei schienengebundener Alternative, mit Zusatzrädern versehen ist, die unter den Schienenwulst greifen und die Bahn zusätzlich festhalten.Hover vehicles, such as magnetic levitation or air cushion vehicles (Hoover-Craft) have the above technical problem by making a Suspended state solved by known drives. The disadvantage of these solutions is that they are energy for the establishment of the state of limbo. The above technical problem becomes inventive solved by the fact that on the roof of the levitation vehicle a rel. large wing is attached, or formed the entire vehicle into a wing is. The buoyancy of the wing lifts the ge starts up and it gets a rel. Pending state, however only to the extent that the wheels are still with optimal Pressure touch the underbody. This is achieved that the hovercraft with elevator and rudder  which is the deviations from the optimal pressure on the wheels by electronic and mechanical counter Compensate control, or with rail-bound Alternative, is provided with additional wheels that under grip the rail bead and the web additionally hold tight.

Die Motorkraft des Schwebekraftfahrzeugs wird über dessen Räder auf die Straße/Schiene übertragen. Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile liegen ins­ besondere darin, daß keine Zusatzenergie für die Herstellung eines rel. Schwebezustands verbraucht wird.The engine power of the hovercraft is about whose wheels are transferred to the road / rail. The advantages achieved with the invention are ins special in that no additional energy for the Production of a rel. Levitation consumed becomes.

Weiterhin ist die Energieübertragung durch das Rad auf die Straße/Schiene energieübertragungsmäßig optimaler als Propeller oder Strahltriebwerk und m.E. annähend gleichwertig zum Antrieb der Magnet- Schwebebahn, so daß vorliegende Erfindung den gering­ sten Energieverbrauch im Vergleich zu allen Kraftfahr­ zeugen hat, bei gleichwertiger Motorausstattung. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung (Anlage 1) dargestellt und wird im fol­ gendem näher beschrieben:Furthermore, the energy transfer through the wheel to the road / rail for energy transmission more optimal than propeller or jet engine and in my opinion almost equivalent to driving the magnetic Suspension railway, so that the present invention is low most energy consumption compared to all motor vehicles has witness, with equivalent engine equipment. An embodiment of the invention is in the Drawing (Appendix 1) and is shown in fol described in more detail:

(1) bezeichnet das gesamte Schwebefahrzeug, das in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel oberhalb der Personen­ beförderungskabine (5) einen rel. großen Flügel (2) besitzt. Die Kabine ist etwa halb so breit wie der Flügel in Längsrichtung. Am Flügel sind Seitenruder (3) und Höhenruder (4) angebracht, die durch elektronische Rückkoppelung (8) des Drucks auf die Räder (12) die optimale Schwebe­ position des Fahrzeugs steuern. Dieses Ausführungsbeispiel fährt auf einer Schiene (10) und wird zusätzlich von einem Spezialrad (9) vor dem Abheben bewahrt, dadurch daß es unter den Schienenwulst (13) greift. (14) zeigt die Aufhängevorrichtung hierzu. (11) zeigt den Motor (Elektro-bzw. Verbrennungs­ motor), mit Antrieb auf die Vorderräder (15).( 1 ) denotes the entire levitation vehicle, which in this embodiment above the passenger transport cabin ( 5 ) has a rel. large wing ( 2 ). The cabin is about half the width of the wing in the longitudinal direction. On the wing rudder ( 3 ) and elevator ( 4 ) are attached, which control the optimal hover position of the vehicle by electronic feedback ( 8 ) of the pressure on the wheels ( 12 ). This exemplary embodiment runs on a rail ( 10 ) and is additionally prevented from lifting off by a special wheel ( 9 ) in that it engages under the rail bead ( 13 ). ( 14 ) shows the suspension device for this. ( 11 ) shows the engine (electric or combustion engine) with drive on the front wheels ( 15 ).
