Hybrid car
The Zero emission Vehicle
Introduction
A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move the vehicle.
OTHER fuels used:-
Rechargeable energy storage system
EM Field Waves
Hydrogen
Compressed air
Paddling or Rowing
Why Hybrid Vehicles?
Emissions from recent CVs causes Global Warming and Human Sickness.
Advances in battery, power electronics technologies have made commercialization possible
Performance is generally as good as or better than CVs
Reduction in NOISE pollution.
HEVs have demonstrated significant potential to reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Hybrids Can have Multiple Configuration
Key Features of Hybrid and How they do it
Hybrids achieve improved efficiencies using several approaches:
Employ regenerative braking to recover energy that is normally wasted as HEAT.
Downsize or “right-size” the engine or primary power source
Control the engine or primary power source to operate more efficiently and/or work more often in a more efficient range
Key Characteristics
Hybrid Vehicles Are Here To Stay
FedEx/Eaton HEV Demonstrator a Good Example of What Can Be Done
Disadvantages
Mechanical Design Complexity
Extra complexity adds significant cost
Rocket like Effect(in case of Compressed air)
