The article presents the results of experiments with a microturbine for a microfluidic membrane control system for a wheeled vehicle (WV). In the first experiment, the traction characteristics of the drive were evaluated when the vehicle was moving along an inclined surface with an additional load. In the second experiment, data on the rotation speed of the drive wheel were obtained. A microturbine is a power drive of vehicles designed to operate in difficult environmental conditions (high and low temperatures, powerful electromagnetic fields, radiation).
