Moving body
A moving body, such as a vehicle, having one or more fuel cells mounted thereon. The fuel cells, which power the moving body, generate electricity and release water as a by-product. Accordingly, the moving body includes a water discharge module that releases water produced by the fuel cells to the atmosphere using a water outlet. The water outlet may be located in a front section of the moving body. The moving body may further include a water tank that temporarily stores water before releasing the water to the atmosphere.
1. A moving body with fuel cells that are mounted thereon as a power source and generate electric power with production of water as a by-product, said moving body comprising:
a water discharge module that releases water produced by the fuel cells from a water outlet to the atmosphere, wherein the water outlet is located behind a front wheel on a driver's lateral side of said moving body; and
an air flow regulation module that extends from a front side of the moving body substantially parallel to a front-rear direction and bends toward the driver's lateral side near a rear end of the front wheel to a neighborhood of the water outlet and regulates an air flow caused by motion of said moving body in the neighborhood of the water outlet of said water discharge module,
wherein the water outlet is arranged to release the water from the bottom side of said moving body substantially downward in a vertical direction, and
said air flow regulation module makes the air flow obliquely backward to the driver's lateral side of said moving body, where the water outlet is located, thereby making the released water from the water outlet flow away from a longitudinal center of the moving body and away from the driver's lateral side of the moving body.
2. The moving body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said air flow regulation module makes the air flow backward at an angle in a range of 15 to 75 degrees relative to the lateral side of said moving body.
3. The moving body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said air flow regulation module regulates the air flow introduced from the front of said moving body.
