Bloodhound SSC: Will Cars Be Fast Than Other Vehicles

It has been estimated that there will be approximately 1200 million motor vehicles by the year 2020. That is almost twice the number of cars that are already traveling on our busy roads. Due to this ever increasing vehicle population, the demand for fuel will continue to increase as well. With the depleting supply of oil already an issue for the U.S. especially, there is a growing interest in alternative energy fuels that can be used to power motor vehicles.

The electronic car can not be called as the fastest remote control car and also need constant recharging and also are slower than the nitro engines.

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

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.

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

This essay will talk about automotives and how they changed the human society significantly. Cars are getting faster and faster. Cars are getting more energy efficient. Also cars are getting more durable and safer.

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.

The steady increase in electric vehicles over the past 10 years is a result of gasoline scarcity. Many believe this reason plus environmental factors are what forced scientist to develop an alternative. The idea of a vehicle running off of electricity without a combustion engine sounds very extreme and futuristic. The majority of people fail to realize the electric car was originally introduced in the late 1800’s, but was eventually put to rest with the conveniences of gasoline power. The two currently competing sources of automobile energy have already duked it out about a century ago, and the once defeated electric car is off the mat for round 2. As described in Technologies Tortoise and Hare (2000DATE?) “It is a dynamic process of competing strategies and, for the automotive industry, a very traumatic even in a vital historical drama.”

These hybrid cars have been tested and matched up against conventional cars in almost every category possible. One of the main, and important, categories is the gas mileage, and this is one of the best reasons why people decide to go for these hybrid models. For a regular, conventional engine, vehicle, there is only one source of energy powering the engine, and therefore the car, and we all know that is gasoline. But with the hybrids, there is that second energy

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.

Chapter 1 will be on history hybrid vehicle Chapter 2 the Definition and introduction of hybrid vehicles the simple layout of what is hybrid vehicles why is the hybrid vehicles selected and how the hybrid vehicles work. Chapter 3 then describes Characterised off hybridization in chapter 4, Components of hybrid vehicle chapter 5 advance technologies in hybrid vehicle, chapter 6 types off hybrid vehicle and chapter7 describes advantages and disadvantages of hybrid vehicles. And at last the conclusion from the work and the areas of further work is discussed

Moreover, ghe electric motor is not the only aspect that contributes to hybrids’ fuel efficiency. The feature “Idle-off” is often found in Hybrid vehicles. Idle-off works much like a refrigerator’s light bulb when the door is closed. When stopped, hybrid vehicles will go into idle-off, turning off the combustion engine while still powering the interior technology with the vehicle’s battery, saving fuel.

The functioning of the cars greatly depends on the quality of the battery used in the car. The poor battery may result into long hours of recharging and poor speed with poor acceleration. These cars are not practically suitable for long journey but can be a good transportation vehicle for everyday use and can be

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
