How Cool Manufacturing Producing a Hydrogen Hybridthe Result would be no Sweet no
A hybrid; a result of mixing elements is something made up of a mixture of different aspects or components or a thing composed of diverse elements. When we say the Hybrid, this is referring to the modern electrical vehicle that marries conventional propulsion/gas and fuel with a rechargeable energy storage system.
Electricity is a natural phenomenon known only by its effects, as electric charge, electric current, electric field and electro-magnetism. It is energy created by moving charged particles: a fundamental form of kinetic or potential energy created by the free or controlled movement of charged particles such as electrons, positrons, and ions.
It is not uncommon for vehicles to be electrically powered nor is it a new thing to our world. Electric vehicles have been around for ages. In fact there were vehicles such as streetcar, automobile, or railroad locomotive that operated by electricity and were called an electric. It was as early as 1901that Ferdinand Porsche while employed at Lohner Coach Factory, designed the "Mixte", a series-hybrid vehicle based on his earlier "System Lohner-Porsche" electric carriage. The Mixte broke several Austrian speed records, as well as winning the Exelberg Rally in 1901 with Porsche himself driving. The Mixte used a gasoline engine powering a generator, which in turn powered electric hub motors, with a small battery pack for reliability. It had a range of 50 km, a top speed of 50 km/h and a power of 5.22 kW during 20 minutes.
Although HEVs have a long history it was not until the late 1990s that she appeared on the market and became widely available to the public only with the introduction of the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, which are viewed by some automakers as a core segment of the future automotive market.[i] Today the hybrid is a hugely common type of vehicle. Futurist magazine recently included hybrid electric vehicles as cars of the near future.[ii] Worldwide sales of Toyota and Lexus hybrids reached 1.7 million vehicles by January 2009.[iii] Hybrid cars are now a top priority for every American automaker. [iv]
The advantage to owning such a vehicle is that it achieves better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle. The type of vehicle is manufactured with secondary propulsion systems as well as the electric motors so that it does not require regular visits to a charging unit the same as a battery electric vehicle (BEV) does. Additional to the fact that the modern mass produced hybrid does not need to be recharged very often because their batteries capture kinetic energy due to regenerative braking. He is also accredited as the creator of the voltage controller that links the batteries, motor (a jet-engine starter motor), and DC generator.
The modern HEV is designed in such a way to allow prolonged charge of batteries, it duos so by means of capturing kinetic energy through a process known as regenerative braking system, a core design concept of most production HEVs developed by electrical engineer David Arthurs around 1978 using off-the shelf components and an Opel GT. Some HEVs are able to use the m combustion engine (ICE) to generate energy by spinning the electric generator which is often a motor generator that either serves to recharge the battery or directly feed power to an electric motor that drives the vehicle. They are also not as hazardous as a conventional vehicle since it reduces idle emissions by shutting down the ICE at idle and restarting it when needed through a start stop system. Another brilliant feature is that a hybrid's engine is smaller than a non-hybrid petroleum fuel vehicle and may be run at various speeds which provide a greater efficiency.
The Bill Clinton administration on twenty-ninth of September nineteen ninety three initiated the PNGV, the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles, that involved the Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, USCAR, the DoE, and other various governmental agencies to engineer the next efficient and clean vehicle.[v] This program was replaced by the hydrogen-focused FreedomCAR initiative by the George W. Bush administration in 2001, with a long-term goal of developing effectively carbon emission- and petroleum-free vehicles, while lowering costs and reducing impacts on the environment.[vi]
Hybrids emit little or no pollution, with dramatic reduction in dependence on imported petroleum which is a cool enough reason for any establishment to invest in the manufactory of these types of vehicle plus it can be more cost effective. Think of all the times per week you top up on gas. You can fight against global warming and contamination and promote vehicle fuel efficiency, the pay-back period can be immediate and petroleum ICEVs can cost more than hybrids because they generate more pollution. One wonders that if the world is becoming more technologically advanced why not invest in these things when the hybrid is really just a vehicle which uses two or more power source? How cool would it be to start manufacturing then producing a hydrogen hybrid! Using of course water/hydrogen (in fuel-cell conversion, the hydrogen is reacted with oxygen to produce water and electricity, interestingly both has been historically utilized as power sources) instead of petroleum fuel coupled with electric rechargeable electric batteries. The result would be no fuel consumption, no noise, no pollution and an engine tank you could drink from- Sweet. No?
