Abstract

The invention relates to a circumferential movement field, including all circumferential movement devices such as transport vehicle, toy vehicle, space vehicle, blender etc, especially for energy-saving vehicles utilizing force of gravity. The energy-saving vehicle utilizes force of gravity as driving force, the vehicle body connects with the wheel by swing structure method or eccentric swing structure to utilize force of gravity more efficiently. The invention also provides solutions about two-wheel gravitational vehicle and multi-wheel vehicle and train connected by integrated vehicles or two-wheel vehicles.

Claims

1. A vehicle comprising:

a vehicle body;

an engine installed on the vehicle body, the vehicle body having a passenger seat;

two or two group coaxial wheels as main wheels, the main wheels being located at the middle bottom of the vehicle body;

at least one supplementary wheel carried on the vehicle body, the least one supplementary wheel being installed at the front or rear part of the vehicle body, the main wheels playing the roles of loading, driving, braking and turning, in running, main wheels touching the ground while the least one supplementary wheel not touching the ground or slightly touching the ground or touching the ground in discontinuity, or, main wheels touching the ground while only one supplementary wheel touching the ground or slightly touching the ground or touching the ground in discontinuity;

at least one compressed air tank installed on the wheel, wherein the compressed air tank is shaped as circle pipe or round cake for fitting the shape of tire; and

a plurality of huff nozzles disposed around compressed air tank to puff the air forward the rear of the vehicle body and drive the vehicle running.

2. The vehicle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a transmission device disposed on the vehicle body, wherein a driving force of the engine is transmitted to the top position of the main wheels of the vehicle body for driving the wheel.

3. The vehicle as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one valve fixed at the least one huff nozzle.
