Abstract
In this paper, the newly produced rail vehicle that has Hybrid Power System consist of a Flywheel, hydraulic switching transmissions and a thermal engine on board is descrived. The Flywheel wears multi layer of Floating Shrouds which reduce aerodynamic drag force drastically, and the Flywheel is applied to super sonic velocity under the atmospheric environment like as in vacuum container. The Hydraulic Switching Transmission is made of our original technology that is newly developed by us. The vehicle has 3 pair of 2 independent wheels mounted on a load equalizer type of bogie with steering mechanism, and each wheel is driven by a hydraulic motor. The gauge is set as 1,067mm.
