Outline of Final Research Achievements

The final purpose of the present research project is to make an actual prototype of the Stirling-engine-and-motor hybrid vehicle. As its first step, a test simulator of the driving torque transmission system and its control system was made, where the Stirling engine was replaced with an AC motor and the planetary gear mechanism was utilized. The distributing control of driving torques was realized with the most simple clutch mechanism, thus actually proving a smooth change of the driving torque between the Stirling engine and the DC motor.
