摘要： A fuel cell power generating apparatus (1) using a fuel cell (10) having a cathode (11) and an anode (13) disposed on opposite sides of an electrolyte membrane (12) has an air supply passage (31) through which atmospheric air is supplied to the cathode. A fuel gas supply passage (22) supplies a fuel gas such as hydrogen gas is supplied to the anode. A water spray nozzle (41) ejects liquid water onto the surface of the cathode and the sprayed water takes heat from the air around the cathode as latent heat of evaporation, which is effective to prevent dehydration of the electrolyte membrane, as well as to cool the cathode which would otherwise become overheated when the fuel cell operates continuously over a long period of time. When starting operation of the apparatus, the nozzle is made operative to eject water onto the cathode before the fuel gas is first supplied to the anode to prevent the supplied fuel gas from reacting with oxygen in air which might remain around the cathode.

A fuel gas supply system supplies fuel gas to the anode, an air supply system supplies air to the cathode and a water supply system supplies liquid water to the cathode. A control unit ensures that, when the apparatus starts up, the cathode is first supplied with air, followed by supply of the liquid water.

摘要： By bending and stretching a link mechanism, both left and right wheels of a vehicle can be inclined toward inside of cornering to generate a camber thrust as a lateral force, i.e. an increase in cornering force. Further, by bending and stretching the link mechanism, the passenger compartment can be inclined in accordance with inclination of a connecting link, and thus the center of gravity of the vehicle can be moved toward its inner wheel during cornering. By preventing lifting of the inner wheel during cornering, cornering performance is improved. Because the passenger compartment is inclined toward the inner wheel during cornering, centrifugal force is less likely to be felt by the occupant.

摘要翻译： 通过弯曲和拉伸连杆机构，车辆的左右两轮可以向转弯内侧倾斜，以产生作为侧向力的外倾力，即转弯力的增加。 此外，通过弯曲和拉伸连杆机构，乘客室可以根据连接链节的倾斜而倾斜，因此在转弯期间车辆的重心可以朝着内轮移动。 通过防止转弯期间的内轮升降，转弯性能提高。 由于乘客车厢在转弯期间向内轮倾斜，所以离心力不太可能被乘员感觉到。

摘要： To provide a vehicle which can move independently as an own independent vehicle and can run integrally in linkage with another vehicle. A plurality of single-seat vehicles which can move independently are combined and they move integrally while a predetermined formation is maintained through linkage among respective vehicles. One of all the vehicles moving in linkage serves as a host vehicle and an occupant in the host vehicle becomes a driver in the linkage moving. A host vehicle 1 runs with speed/direction according to running operation conducted by an occupant. Simultaneously therewith, the host vehicle 1 instructs following vehicles 2 to 4 to synchronize (follow) the host vehicle. The host vehicle 1 transmits a speed, a direction, and a relative position to the host vehicle to the following vehicles 2 to 4 as moving information in order to synchronize the following vehicles with the host vehicle (maintain linkage relationship). The following vehicles 2 to 4 move based upon a follow-up instruction and feed status information including speeds and directions of the following vehicles, and their own positions back to the host vehicle 1 as own vehicle information.

摘要： A separator of a fuel cell, which is inserted between single cells, each single cell having an electrolyte sandwiched between electrodes, in order to stack the single cells together, includes gas diffusion portions which are arranged so as to cover a surface of the electrodes and in which are formed multiple air holes for gas diffusion, and spacer portions which form parallel divided gas passages on the back side of portions of the gas diffusion portions which cover the surface of the electrodes. The gas diffusion portions and the spacer portions are integrally formed by bending a wire mesh member to have a rectangular corrugated plate shaped cross-section. As a result, the air holes are formed evenly between the electrodes and the separator and high contact pressure is ensured by the contact of the fine wire mesh, thereby making it possible to both have the gas diffuse evenly and reduce the power collection resistance.

摘要： A vehicle has a drive wheel, a seat, an attitude sensor, a balancer movable relative to the seat, a drive control, an attitude control for controlling the attitude of the seat by moving the balancer and a main controller. The main controller calculates a torque T1 for tilting the seat and a torque T2 for moving the balancer forward, compares T1 with T2max (the maximum torque which can be generated by the balancer), and outputs commands to the drive control and the attitude control. When the calculated torque T1 exceeds T2max, responsive to a command for T2max, the attitude control moves the balancer to generate a reaction torque corresponding to T2max, and the main controller supplies an adjustment torque value T3 for the drive wheel. The drive control controls the drive wheel in accordance with the drive command and the adjustment torque value T3.

摘要： A fuel cell includes a separator (10B) interposed between adjacent unit cells (10A). A mixed fluid of air and water is supplied to an air electrode (12) of each unit cell. The separator includes a mesh conductor (14) on at least a surface facing the air electrode of the unit cells, and the mixed fluid passes through the mesh conductor. Water is retained on the mesh portion of the conductor. With this configuration, it is possible for the unit cell to be cooled by the release of latent heat when the water is evaporated by the heat of unit cell, without any clogging which inhibits contact between the electrode and the air.
