Disclosed herein is a universal rotating hub that can facilitate movement of an automobile or other vehicle that has been rendered immobile by a condition that prevents rotation of one or more of the vehicle's wheels. The universal rotating hub can comprise a wheel flange comprising an axle bore adapted to receive an axle and a plurality of apertures adapted to receive a plurality of different lug bolt patterns of a plurality of respective wheel hubs. The universal rotating hub can further comprise a rotating flange adapted to be coupled to a wheel. The rotating flange can comprise a plurality of lug holes adapted to receive a plurality of lug bolts of the wheel. The universal rotating hub can further comprise a bearing coupled at a first end to the wheel flange and at a second end to the rotating flange. The bearing can be adapted to enable a rotation of the rotating flange.

Provided is a dual wheel assembly for engagement with an associated vehicle having an associated chassis, the assembly having an output support and a transmission. The output support has a bell housing adapted to operationally mount to the associated chassis, and a tail shaft. The tail shaft is rotatably mounted within the bell housing, defines and is rotatable about a drive axis, and is adapted to transmit operational drive work by rotation about the drive axis. The tail shaft is further adapted to transmit and support an operational support load transverse to the drive axis. The transmission is operationally engaged to the output support and has a transmission shaft. The transmission shaft defines a transmission shaft axis, is operationally engaged with the tail shaft, and is adapted to transmit the operational drive work to the tail shaft.

The present disclosure provides a composite powered wheel set, a train, a wheel-rail system and a train control method. The composite powered wheel set comprises two booster wheels and two support wheels mounted on a driving axle. The booster wheels are fixedly mounted on two ends of the driving axle, the support wheels are mounted on the driving axle via bearings, the moving axle is connected to a first transmission device, which is connected to a first power mechanism, and the driving axle is further connected to a train bogie via a connecting device. Booster wheels and booster rails are provided to improve anti-skid performance, so the train will not skid when running on a steep slope or under a heavy traction load. Restrictions on the railway slope, train traction load, and train speed are eliminated to a great extent, and the application scope of the wheel rails is expanded.
