Hybrid Electric Cars and Alternative Energy
In an effort to reduce environmental pollution or global warming, car manufacturers have succeeded in creating cars that can use a variety of alternative energy. Among others, hydrogen, fuel gas (CNG) and the last is also popular electric car.
However, among the vehicle, the hybrid option is still a major producer. Terrible, not hybrid concept, but is marketed in bulk. One example is the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight.
Problem
Alternative energy sources, such as hydrogen, fuel gas really interesting. The problem for the fuel type of infrastructure that is needed is quite expensive. This is due to the nature of gas; be compressed, which causes very high pressure. As a result, the required weight of the tank and also a special handling.
In other cases, electric cars are very interesting. The problem, mileage for one time charging is very limited. Infrastructure to recharge is not available, especially in public places. In addition, the time needed to recharge the battery is still relatively long. Consequently, the most fitting solution is hybrid.
Source
Not like the hybrid. They have Two Source activator motor fuels (conventional engine) and electric motor. The lack of two sources is cost or price that more expensive compared with only one engine. In addition, the technology also add complex.
Conversely, the benefits hybrid car, the fuel consumption is very economical. Plus the other value of friendly to the environment. Hybrid car owner is a person who participated reduces global warming, is now increasingly worrisome condition.
Hybrid car owners will not face problems such as a car on electricity, hydrogen or fuel gas. Condition is the same with cars that are now used as the fuel or diesel fuel that can be obtained in almost every fuel station
Main source of hybrid cars are still burning in the engine (internal combustion). Oil is a source of energy (gasoline or diesel). Both types of fuel is easily obtained.
So, as the additional energy and is used in certain conditions, used electric motor. Move the last to obtain electricity from a battery. In other cases, obtain energy from the battery engine, electricity from the house, and the brake is used during recovery.
Economize
In fact; the energy produced by machine can not be used for all to activate the vehicle. Some energy wasted for example, to casually system, muffler, engine parts, transmission parts and rub against each other plus.
Even when the car is braking, casually energy wastes. Components of the brake wheels are so hot. Precisely, the energy of the machine movement was changed to heat energy. Well, at the present time hybrid car, energy is recycling again.
When braking the car, the kinetics energy converted into electricity. How, as the wheel or in the transmission been generator. Electricity generated by the generator, when the main rotary engine, and when braking the car, converted into electricity. Furthermore, electrical energy is stored in the battery
Electric motor
On certain conditions, when the car would push gas (acceleration), the car no longer control the machine to raise the lap. Computers will control the power the car’s electric motor to obtain a source of energy from the battery.
Even, if necessary, during heavy traffic jammed, cars and roads spread, simply by using electricity. Main engines do not need to live. Conditions have created a hybrid car is far more economical.
In other cases, when the energy decreases starting at the battery, the main engine will work like a car now. Besides can be used to cover travel, of course, the rate is used in battery. Even hybrid cars are the current-use lithium-ion battery, can be filled quickly. Simply chop the electric to home electric slot!
