Prototype Hydride Powered Underground Mining Vehicle.

PB88118864

Publication Date	1985
Personal Author	Baker, N.; Lynch, F.
Page Count	42
Abstract	The report describes the development, construction and testing of a hydrogen-fueled underground mining vehicle. A hydrogen burning engine and a hydride fuel system, both previously developed, were installed on a modified utility vehicle, together with the necessary controls. In tests and in actual use, the vehicle performance in terms of speed, acceleration, and gradeability exceeded that of the standard, unmodified vehicle.
