HYBRID AUTOMOBILE

INTRODUCTION

• A Hybrid Combines Two Methods For The Propulsion

Of A Vehicle.
• Possible Combinations Include Diesel/Electric,
Gasoline/Fly Wheel, And Fuel Cell/Battery.
•Typically One Energy Source Is Storage And The Other
Is Conversion Of A Fuel To Energy.

NEED FOR HYBRID VEHICLES

•Regenerative braking .
•Fuel efficiency is greatly increased (twice).
•Emissions are greatly decreased.
•Dependency on fossils fuels can be decreased.
•Hybrids can be run on alternative fuels as well.
•New materials can be implemented.
The first hybrid car
wasn't the Toyota
Prius nor was it
invented in the 1990s
or 2000s. In fact, it
dates back to the
early 20th century.
Still, the first hybrid
car was brought into
existence for reasons
that will be familiar to
those living in the
early 21st century: Porsche Chief Engineer, Wolfgang Duerheimer,
Internal combustion explains to California Governor Arnold
engines were Schwarzenegger that the Lohner-Porsche was the
first advanced electric car and the technological star
producing too much of the 1900 Paris Auto Show.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING

• A regenerative brake is an energy

recovery mechanism
• Converts Kinetic energy into Electrical form.
• While braking, it absorbs 80% of kinetic energy.

TYPES OF HYBRID VEHICLE
1)Series Hybrids:
Cars which has only the electric motor which is directly connected to
the transmission.
In a series hybrid, the gasoline engine is only used to charge the
batteries that are used to power the electric motor.
2)Parallel hybrids
To turn the transmission they use either its electric motor or
gasoline
engine. Because of this, both the electric motor and the gasoline
engines are
connected directly to the transmission of the car.
ADVANTAGES OF HYBRID VEHICLES
• Lower emissions and better mileage.
•Hybrid cars use no energy during idle state, they turn off and
use less than petrol engines at low speeds.
• At lower speeds i.e. in traffic no smog is emitted maintaining
its sustainable advantage.
• Hybrid cars offers greater mileage than other cars.
• Noise pollution and emission of CO2 are considerably
reduced.
• Hybrids are reliable and comfortable.
• Hybrids are much cleaner cars than normal vehicles
• Due to the Regenerative Braking technology, the batteries
need not be charged by an external source.
• Hybrids help reduce the dependency on fossil fuels which
directly affects fuel prices.
POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
• The two types of hybrids:
• Electric hybrids: Electric hybrids
use the electric motor as their
alternative energy source.
• Hydrogen hybrids: Hydrogen
hybrids extract the element from
water and add the hydrogen to the
fuel-air mixture of the vehicle.
DRAWBACKS OF HYBRID VEHICLES
• Hybrid cars are more expensive than normal cars.
• Hybrid cars are much more complex in construction and
working than the IC engine cars.
•Hybrid cars offer larger repair bills.
• Batteries are not yet much advanced so as the car could
run for a larger distance on batteries itself.
• More weight due to battery packs.
• In the event of an unfortunate accident, there is a risk of
exposure to high voltage wires.
• Complicated Architecture.
• Not suitable for long distance journey.
•Some batteries fail deliver in cold weather.
• Spare parts maybe hard to find and may be costly.
