What is really a hybrid car? How it works. Some basics about Hybrid cars

09.30.04 (5:22 pm) [edit]

Let us first see how conventional and electric cars work. The conventional cars uses gasoline powered internal combustion engine which is and the car gets its all the power from this. An electric car gets its power from batteries. The [b]Hybrid cars [/b]is one which can run on electric motors or gasoline powered engines or combination of both which creates higher mileage possibility.

The basic features of [b]hybrid cars[/b] are:-

[b]Smaller engine[/b]:
The smaller engine provides enough power to car to run on free way but when the car needs to run uphill batteries comes to its rescue and the car runs on both batteries and gasoline engine. There is no effect in performance and driver could be unaware of the shift from battery to gasoline or vice versa.

[b]Engine shutoff[/b]:-
When car puts brakes or when the car reaches red light the engine shuts down and car is powered by gasoline without driver knowing it

[b]Efficiency[/b]:-
The efficiency of the hybrid cars is achieved by
# Using lightweight materials for making body of car.
# Recovering energy and storing it in the battery
# Using advanced aerodynamics to reduce drag
# Using low-rolling resistance tires
# Engine shut off at redlight and when car pauses for a while.

As a 2003 HCH owner purchased in May 2002 I have 73,000 miles on to date. I average 44 MPG (at the pump), commute 100 miles each workday.

There are other added features that most Hybrids have.
1. No conventional Mechanical starter to wear out. Uses the Electric Motor.
2. No Alternator. It converts the power from the IMA battery pack for the 12 volt accessory battery.
3. The Honda Civic Hybrid has a timing chain, instead of a belt.
4. No Mechanical Distributor.
5. No clutch or torque converter if using the constant variable transmission.
6. I still have 1/2 of my brakes at 73,000 because most braking energy is sent to the IMA battery.

The savings from lack of mechanical wear components should be factored in with the hybrid vehicles.
Most articles dont do this.

Parts houses would lobby if all of a sudden everyone purchased these hybrid vehicles.
