About Gasoline Electric Hybrid Car
:- :-
When most people are
perfectly happy with their gasoline-powered cars. The reason is twofold: to
reduce tailpipe emissions and to improve mileage. The current standards require
that the average mileage of all the new cars sold by an automaker should be
27.5 mpg (8.55 liters per 100 km). This means that if an automaker sells one
hybrid car that gets 60 mpg (3.92 liters per 100 km), it can then sell four
big, expensive luxury cars that only get 20 mpg (11.76 liters per 100 km)! when
a car pulled up to the gas pump lately and been shocked by the high price of
gasoline? As the pump clicked past $20 or $30, maybe you thought about trading
in car for something that gets better mileage. Or maybe worried that the car is
contributing to the greenhouse effect. The auto industry has the technology to
address these concerns. It's the hybrid car.
Hybrid Structure
Parallel System
It has a fuel tank,
which supplies gasoline to the Engine.
But it also has a set of batteries that supplies power to an electric motor.
Both the engine and the electric motor can turn the transmission at the same time,
and the transmission then turns the wheels. a typical parallel hybrid car
notice that the fuel tank and gas engine connect to the transmission. The
batteries and electric motor also connect to the transmission independently. As
a result, in a parallel hybrid, both the electric motor and the gas engine can
provide propulsion power.
Series System
By contrast, in a
series hybrid the gasoline engine turns a generator, and the generator can
either charge the Batteries
or power an electric motor that drives the transmission. Thus, the gasoline
engine never directly powers the vehicle.
Hybrid System Operates In Four
Phases
1. Start / Stop
When we turn the ignition key of the Hybrid car, the electric motor comes to life.
The electric motor, in turn, starts the gasoline engine. The car then performs
a series of checks to determine if it can switch to electric-only operation: It
checks to see if the batteries are charged, if the operating temperatures are
okay and if interior climate control settings are in the appropriate range (the
air conditioning's maximum setting requires the gasoline engine to run). If
everything checks out, the engine will then shut off, leaving the car running
under electric-only power. This process only takes a second or two.
When we come to a
stop in the Hybrid car, the gasoline engine actually shuts off. The car runs on
electric-only while you're at a stoplight or waiting in line at the drive-thru.
The hybrid put a lot of effort into making the gasoline engine on-off cycles as
smooth and seamless as possible, but testers reported a discernible shudder in
the vehicle when the engine went on or off. This is common to all hybrid cars.

Advanced Aerodynamics
To Reduce Drag
When we are driving
on the freeway, most of the work we’re engine does goes into pushing the car
through the air. This force is known as aerodynamic drag. This drag force can
be reduced in a variety of ways. One sure way is to reduce the frontal area of
the car. Think of how a big SUV has to push a much greater area through the air
than a tiny sports car.
Reducing disturbances
around objects that stick out from the car or eliminating them altogether can
also help to improve the aerodynamics. For example, covers over the wheel
housings smooth the airflow and reduce drag. And sometimes, mirrors are
replaced with small cameras.
Conclusion
Over the past four
years, more than 100,000 hybrids have been sold in the United States. Even though that's not a huge percentage of
the more than 17 million new cars and trucks that are sold in the U.S. each
year, it's enough of an incentive to get more manufacturers on the hybrid
bandwagon. Analysts suggest that the market this year, alone, could muster up
the sales of the past four combined.
