Abstract
The article discusses active wheel systems used in motor vehicles and aviation. The use of chassis with active wheels, i.e. wheels equipped with integral electric drive, significantly facilitates maneuvering of helicopters during taxiing. This allows you to reduce fuel costs and increase the safety of both helicopter crews and ground personnel.
Highlights
Rising fuel prices and the search for the greatest possible savings resulting in new vehicles riding, sailing and flying the use of new structural solutions that can significantly affect fuel consumption, reduced weight, increased motor efficiency
The Michelin consists of two mechanisms inside the wheel, one of which is responsible for driving and braking, and the other is responsible for active energy control of the suspension
Michelin did not find in the market any power source for Active Wheels, which correspond to the assumptions of the design, which is why he undertook the develop an advanced technology fuel cell
Summary
Rising fuel prices and the search for the greatest possible savings resulting in new vehicles riding, sailing and flying the use of new structural solutions that can significantly affect fuel consumption, reduced weight, increased motor efficiency. The electric motor can be a generator and charge the battery or capacitor as a result of driving an internal combustion engine or as a result of engine braking Such systems mounted engine has enough power to run at optimum operating parameters at the expected travel speed. With an engine of 50kW, which directly drives the wheels of the aircraft It is a very simple idea, but the same execution is more complicated. EGTS provides an effective solution to achieve lower cost of ownership of aircraft, and reduce emissions into the atmosphere will burn. This innovative system allows airlines to save several hundred thousand dollars a year, and at the same time improve profits. A further advantage is to increase the service life of aircraft engines and reduce noise at the airport
