In Section 1 you'll find a detailed discussion of the different forms of motive power for cars - from turbines to hybrids, from human powered to fuel cell. Which is best now - and which is likely to be best in the near future? In Section 2 lots of different electric and hybrid cars are tested - from the mega-dollar Lexus LS600hL to a home-converted electric Hyundai, from driving a Prius across half of Australia to sampling one of the most innovative of hybrid cars ever made, the original Honda Insight. Finally, Section 3 covers a bunch of modifications that the author has carried out on hybrid cars. From the very easy - adding a pressurised cool-air intake for the engine, to the complex - turbocharging a Toyota Prius.... and lots in between. Along the way you'll find a host of interesting breakout boxes, covering material as diverse as the best way of calculating vehicle fuel efficiency, design questions for human powered vehicles, aerodynamic modification of vehicles - and even, what it was like to drive an electric car on the moon! Truly something for every electric and hybrid car enthusiast...

Download or read book Hybrid cars written by Owen Jones and published by Tektime. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid cars, and indeed, all electric vehicles are playing a rôle in the salvation of the planet’s eco-system. At least, in respect to the world supporting human life. However, hybrid cars will one day be replaced by vehicles that use no irreplaceable energy at at all, once the technology is there. It is likely that there will be at least two such power sources in the near future: electricity and hydrogen – but who knows what else will be available? Hybrid and electric cars are revolutionizing the automotive landscape, offering a myriad of advantages that extend beyond the traditional internal combustion engine. One of the primary benefits is environmental sustainability. Electric cars produce zero tailpipe emissions, significantly reducing air pollution and carbon footprint. As the world grapples with climate change, the shift towards electric vehicles is a crucial step in mitigating environmental impact. Furthermore, these vehicles contribute to energy efficiency. Hybrid cars combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, optimizing fuel consumption and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Electric cars, relying solely on electric power, boast high energy efficiency and cost savings over time. With advancements in battery technology, electric cars now offer extended ranges and faster charging times, addressing concerns about range anxiety. Beyond environmental and economic advantages, hybrid and electric cars provide a smoother and quieter driving experience. The instant torque delivery in electric motors enhances acceleration, making these vehicles not only eco-friendly but also performance-oriented. As governments worldwide incentivise the adoption of cleaner technologies, the advantages of hybrid and electric cars position them as the driving force in the future of sustainable and efficient transportation.
