Bloodhound SSC: Will Cars Be Fast Than Other Vehicles

Hybrid vehicles are continuously gaining popularity in the general public. With the growing societal concerns about green revolution and also achieving significant reduction in fuel consumption, hybrid vehicles are considered satisfactory in performance. They have become so popular that certain tax incentives have been offered by the government on hybrid vehicles. Due to their better performance compared with gas powered vehicles, we present the thesis of our paper as follows:

There are some benefits of electric it is 100% efficient, it does not let our any carbon into the atmosphere. Electric race cars are very fast because all of the power is instant you do not have to wait on the RPM’s to build up or the turbocharger to spool. The only down sides to electric is that the batteries are heavy and they only carry a limited amount of energy when the batteries are out of energy the car is done because they take hours to charge fully unlike a liquid fuel where it only takes seconds.”Electric vehicles are pretty much born for drag racing. Instant torque, the potential for massive power, no gears to worry about messing up, and no worries about range

Hydrogen fuel cells are an emerging technology that could be the next mass produced energy source of the future. The application of hydrogen as a fuel source can be used to power cars, homes, and even cell phones. Hydrogen is the most abundant molecule in the universe. The most profound

Furthermore the electric car is more efficient because it uses lithium-ion batteries which are charged with electricity. Lithium-ions for the car

Ferrari built one of their fastest yet most advance vehicle called LaFerrari, which runs on a hybrid system developed to reduce fuel consumption by 40% and enhance performance by 30%. The LaFerrari uses a HY-KERS hybrid system. The electric motor in the car produces 163 Brake horsepower and 147 pound feet of torque. Combine horsepower ,with the electric and V-12, is 949 brake horsepower. This helps the car go from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds. Unlike electric, Hybrid technology is about collecting the energy that would have been wasted and regenerate it into the car. The Hy-Kers sytem adds power on top of what the combustion engine produces, just like a turbocharger boosts acceleration.In common hybrids, for

The article “The Gas-Electric Hybrid Demystified” by Sara R. Howerth, gives the reader some insight on the new developed technology of hybrid cars. The author uses the difference between four engine models; Gas-Engine, Battery Powered Electric, Hybrid model #1 and Hybrid model #2 – to show just how far technology

Gasoline powered cars and electric cars are a topic that has been talked and debated about a lot. Each has their advantages and disadvantages. They have similarities, but even more differences.

2. Bullet points will be used to highlight the main points, N/A 4. N/A Executive Summary This report outlines the rank, make and model of Sporty Cars/Roadsters and their fuel efficiency. After the completion of necessary test, the following rating information in this PowerPoint presentation features cars with an overall mpg of 27 or higher. Any one interested in fast cars would definitely be interested in this report and the inclusion on the most fuel economic fast cars would be a plus to our customers.

Fuel availability is an everyday thing. You just go to the service station down the road and fill up for a decent price. However to produce fuels it is a bit more complicated. Fuel is made by the fossil fuels that are deep in the ground formed thousands and thousands

If you always believed that remote control cars were just for kids, you better give it a second thought. Now it has become a popular hobby among the grown ups as well. There are many cars available from which you can choose. One always wants to own the fastest RC

As we all know, with the economic development, more and more people have cars. However, it is a common phenomenon

Now, in a hybrid car, there is a battery assisting, so that the cylinders have to do less work, and consequently use less fuel. A Prius has only 84 horsepower without its electric battery, and wouldn’t even be able to start! (Regular Car Reviews, Youtube) But this battery isn’t all good, which brings us to the first problem with these hybrid cars.

Many other people continued the development and improvement of electric automobiles and for a time electric automobiles were the preferred type of Automobile because of their quiet ride, quick start-up, and lack of pollution. In fact electric automobiles held the land speed record well into the early 1900’s. However, they began to decline in the early 1900’s because of the increased prevalence and efficiency of the internal combustion engine.

Electric motor - The electric motor on a hybrid car is very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car down and return energy to the batteries.

In order to understand the why behind the need to change from fossil fuels to hydrogen power, it is necessary to understand what that power is and how it works. Hydrogen is the most abundant and simplest element on earth. It is most commonly found as part of water. In its pure gaseous form it is extremely light, but when ignited in this state releases a large amount of energy in an explosion. In this violent reaction the hydrogen combines with free oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and creates water vapor. This is similar to the way gasoline is combined with air and ignited in an internal combustion engine in the cars used today and like with gasoline, the combustion of hydrogen has risks. In addition to the risk, some of the energy released in the reaction is lost in the form of sound and heat. As an alternative to burning, these same gases can be combined with the use of catalysts to extract the free electrons produced as liquid water is formed(Popovici and Hoble Dorel). Using cables connected to a fuel cell such as this, those electrons go through a circuit, generating electricity. This is more efficient than combustion because less energy is wasted in the form of sound and heat. Going further, greater efficiency for this reaction can be had the lower the temperature it is allowed to take place at, with 83% power at 25◦C(77◦ F)(Popovici and Hoble Dorel). As fuel cells are created with better heat management and
