Hybrid Cars - podcast

Hi Everyone! Lets speak about Hybrid Cars. First of all lets speak about some facts.

Facts About Hybrid Cars

Hybrid car is a machine , which is driven by a gasoline engine paired with an electric motor or batteries, because the goal of the buyer of such a vehicle is to drive a car that has less consumption and more productivity. This combination of units makes it more effective in their work.

Combustion chamber in hybrid cars , slightly smaller than the cylinders of conventional engines in vehicles , which implies a more lightweight parts , fewer cylinders and a more efficient method of controlling the engine load . So the car consumes less fuel and releases less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere , which contributes to the reduction of pollution .

Typically, hybrid cars use gasoline engine for constant speeds and motor for speeds , which requires more power, for example, if the car is accelerating in mountainous areas. This technology helps to reduce gasoline consumption and emissions, and the effective values ​​of the aerodynamic characteristics mean lower energy requirement for the effective operation of the vehicle .

If , back in 1901 , to look at the first car with a gasoline engine , which is created by Ferdinand Porsche . You will notice that these specifications are still used in the technology of hybrid cars and their further modification.

In 1915 the company «Woods Motor Vehicle» developed a hybrid propulsion system called «Dual power Hybrid», the main aim of which was to unite the two motors with one direction of transmission capacity. But the production of this kind of hybrids was stopped in 1918.

In the era of 1960-1970 Victor Wouk , which , because of its creative projects, called the " Godfather of hybrids ," suggested difficult and innovative projects to develop hybrid electric vehicles . He also changed the model Buick Skylark with a hybrid gasoline version . But , because of problems with the " Office for Environmental Protection" his work has also been stopped.

In 1978 regenerative braking system was presented by David Artersom , which aims to enable the motor to slow the car , collect power and recharge the batteries , this technology helps to make the hybrid car more efficient to use. He used a standard automotive components and changed the Opel GT, which could offer a cruising range of 120 miles per gallon using this system .

Some obvious facts about hybrid cars available today :
• Petrol used as the main power source that can be switched directly to the motor.
• Hybrid cars do not need charging , they charge themselves when they work.
• Because of the lower energy consumption they are quite economical, and the only complaint from a potential buyer may be the high cost of the hybrid battery , but the battery pack on the market comes with 38 modules , so the user only needs to replace the one module that does not work, and not the whole package.
• And finally, it is worth noting once again the advantage of hybrid cars , such as low pollution, due to the low amount of exhaust gases.
