Hybrid cars How They Operate
- By: seoprofessional
There are two main types of hybrid cars: series hybrid
cars and parallel hybrid cars.
Parallel hybrid cars work by using a combination of a traditional gas engine and
a high output electric motor. The different elements of the engine start working
at higher or lower levels of output are required. If the car is being driven
carefully and accelerating at a reasonable level the electric motor will work on
its own until a greater output is needed at a higher speed. Then the small high
performances, in terms of fuel economy that is, gas engine takes over. This is a
seamless almost unnoticeable process with a smooth transition of control from
electric to gas power.
As the acceleration is powered by the electric motor the gas engine can be much
smaller and more economical. There is no need for a great deal of energy, merely
enough to keep the car at a steady speed, or to move the car from a mid range,
around 40 mph to a higher speed. This requires a lot less energy than the
initial movement from a standstill and consequently can be achieved with a lower
level of power.
The parallel system of using both the gas engine and electric motor for hybrid
cars means that there is less loss of power as when the car is traveling at
higher speeds. As the energy is not required to go through the batteries and
electric motor before providing power to the car. When traveling in this mode
there is no need for the electric motor to operate and this also allows it to be
recharged by the gas engine as the vehicle is traveling along. All ready for
when the hybrid car slows and switches back to the electric motor.
Series Hybrid Cars: a series design works by powering the vehicle through an
electric motor. The batteries supply the power to the motor. As the power
arrives at the motor through the battery, series hybrid cars need a
substantially larger reserve of power and consequentially a greater amount of
batteries need to be carried in the car.
The motor only uses the exact amount of power required for the task in hand. If
you spend hours in a traffic jam, you may get a little hot under the collar but
your car will not be overheating. An electric motor does not need to tick over
or idle when sitting in a jam; it will simply start turning when you start
moving. When driving hybrid cars there will be no power (although maybe a little
hair) lost even in the most extreme of gridlocks. As the motor will not be
working when the vehicle is still, there is no need for the batteries to be
recharged until power is again being lost when the car starts to move forward.
The large battery supply that is required for series hybrid cars is kept
supplied with energy by a generator that runs from the main gas power unit. This
only needs to operate when the batteries are in need of extra power so for much
of urban driving there is no need for the motor to operate as only low levels of
power are required. This allows the hybrid cars engine to run without emissions
for city driving, especially if some higher powered driving, as for highways or
main routes is done, and the consequent loss of power means that the hybrid cars
batteries are brought upon to their full power supply by the gas motor when out
of the urban environment.
There are advantages to both systems, but overall the parallel system is the
most flexible for hybrid cars as it allows for the option of either power source
to be transferred directly to drive the car without going through another
separate means of transmission to the wheels.

Why Buy A Hybrid Car?
By: Ron King
For anyone interested in saving
money at the gas pump and helping the environment, the new hybrid cars are an
excellent choice. Small and fuel-efficient, hybrids are now being made by more
manufacturers than ever.
Although hybrids cost more, and can be hard to find due to high demand, it still
pays to choose a hybrid. Consider the following reasons to buy a hybrid next
time you are in the market for a new car.
Smaller, More Efficient
Engines
The hybrid's fuel efficiency is increased by its small size and the use of
lightweight materials. Periodic engine shut-off is another fuel saving feature
of the hybrid. When it is stopped in traffic, the hybrid's engine temporarily
shuts off. The engine restarts automatically when the car is put back in gear.
Hybrids are powered by the combination of an efficient gasoline engine backed by
an electric motor for acceleration. The electric motor is powered by batteries
that are recharged automatically by recapturing the kinetic energy usually lost
during braking, known as regenerative braking. When the car is slowing down, the
electric motor runs backwards, acting as a generator to charge the battery.
With this collection of advanced fuel efficiency features, hybrids can
outperform conventional cars in several arenas.
Environmental Friendliness
Another reason hybrids are more environmentally friendly than conventional gas
engines is that they idle less and use fuel more efficiently. The hybrid not
only gets better gas mileage, it produces less pollution than other, non-hybrid
cars. Some hybrids are getting 10 to 20 miles per gallon more than a regular gas
engine. They are also capable of reducing harmful emissions by 90%.
Many hybrids use aerodynamic design to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency.
Low rolling tires made of special resistant rubber reduce friction on the road.
The high capacity, nickel-metal-hydride battery pack is reliable and available
to power the hybrid when needed. Hybrids also use the latest in power-train
technology, for integrated power management that contributes to fuel efficiency.
Popularity Enhances Styles
And Choices
More makes and models are now being offered as the popularity of hybrid cars
continues to escalate. Buyers can now purchase the Honda Civic and Accord, Ford
Escape, and Toyota Camry in hybrids. GMC and Chevrolet are currently making 2
hybrid pick-up trucks. In the near future, Saturn, Lexus, Honda, and Chevrolet
will make hybrid SUVs available to the public. Chevrolet has plans to offer its
Malibu in hybrid form in 2007.
You can get a hybrid that looks like a conventional car, such as the Ford Escape.
Or you can choose a hybrid that looks completely different from anything else on
the road, such as the Toyota Prius. With so many hybrid cars on the market,
there is a style to suit almost everyone.
Tax Incentives Available
People who buy hybrids can get significant tax breaks from the US Federal
government through 2006. The amount of your tax break is determined by your tax
bracket and when you file. Some states are also starting to offer hybrid car tax
breaks as well. Tax breaks backed up over the long run by lower fuel costs make
hybrid cars a good buy.
Fuel Efficiency Becomes A
Reality
Although most people have been aware of hybrids only in recent years, the
technology has actually been around for a long time. Ferdinand Porsche built the
first successful hybrid car in 1899. But hybrids first began to catch on in the
1990s when Honda introduced the Insight and Toyota introduced the Prius.
It's been a long wait, but fuel-efficient transportation is finally becoming a
reality with the hybrid. As more of these cars take to the road, our air will
become cleaner, and our country will be less dependent on foreign sources of oil.
