Abstract: In a hybrid transportation apparatus, a gas supply provides high-pressure hydrogen, which drives a turbine to generate first mechanical power and becomes medium-pressure hydrogen, which drives an air engine to generate second mechanical power and becomes low-pressure hydrogen. A fuel cell generates first electric power according to the low-pressure hydrogen. A heat recycling module recycles heat, which is generated by the fuel cell, to warm up the high-pressure hydrogen or the medium-pressure hydrogen. A generator receives the first mechanical power and generates second electric power. A motor generates third mechanical power according to the first and second electric power. A power output device causes movement of the transportation apparatus according to the second and third mechanical power. Thus, potential energy and chemical energy of the high-pressure hydrogen can be effectively utilized to generate the mechanical power and the electric power to move the transportation apparatus.
