Super Bowl Commercials: The Longest Chase

The author first explains what a hybrid is, stating “A hybrid is a cross between two established varieties of plant, animal… or technology.” She introduces the hybrid vehicle, a new form of technology that stands as a possible answer for a vehicle that is both energy preserving and safer for the environment. Before she dives into details of how the vehicle works, she enlightens the reader on what the article is about and the objective of the hybrid vehicle. Students enrolling in an engineering course in a post-secondary institution will be more

The 2017 Superbowl commercials tried to persuade it's viewers to buy it's products. They did this by making their commercials funny, entertaining, and/or by messing with the viewer's emotions. However, some of these commercials or ads were more persuasive than the others. The ads can be more persuasive than another by it being more entertaining than others or by it messing with the viewer's emotions. One example of this, which isn't a Superbowl commercial, would be the animal rescue ads, which make it's viewers sad and wanting to help the homeless animals. Many Superbowl commercials use different ways of persuasion to convince it's audience to buy something.

The market for hybrid cars is changing. There are more providers but due to bad publicity and poor performance, demand is falling.

II. Most hybrids only use gasoline when needed. The electric motor, powered by a stack of rechargeable batteries, is the primary workhorse for propulsion under low-speed driving.

Expanding the Nighthawk Motors product line to include a plug-in hybrid vehicle is an exciting and innovation move for the company. As an organization, we will be aiming to provide our customers with a vehicle that is fuel efficient, reliable, cost affordable, and fun to drive. The new product line, the Ecostar, presents a unique and exhilarating vehicle to our customers. The new plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) offers a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine with a 500-mile range on a tank of gas with an 80mile range on batteries alone. The EPA rating for the Ecostar has been verified at 60 miles per gallon for city and 55 miles per gallon for highway driving. The Ecostar is not alone in the market, it will have direct competition from the Toyota Prius; however,

Hybrid electric cars are the wave of the future. At this point, the human race does not really have a choice anymore: we must act now to prevent further warming of our planet. With global warming graduating from theory to fact, and in the wake of some of the most devastating storms our civilized world has ever seen, I strode into a nearby Honda dealership to see what kind of advancements are being made in the Hybrid electric vehicle field. Keeping in mind what a typical college student might be looking for in a car: pleasing aesthetics, affordability and low maintenance cost, I present you my findings on the Honda Civic LX, compared with the Honda Civic Hybrid model.

However, the horsepower increases to 200 during hard acceleration, when the gasoline engine and the electric motor are working in tandem. Off-the-line acceleration is admirable, causing the front wheels to spin at times. On the highway, the Toyota Camry Hybrid has no loss of power, especially during those times when it is needed.

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.

The hybrid car was created not only to improve mileage, a benefit for consumers who dreaded the weekly trip to the pump, but also to reduce emissions from the tailpipe. Both these goals help the environment, as decreasing emissions should reduce the risk of eminent global warming, and improved mileage means less oil would be consumed by the cars. In normal automobile, 13% of the energy in the gasoline is actually used to move the vehicle2. The major losses in energy efficiency come from acceleration, aerodynamic drag, and rolling resistance. Making a high strength lightweight material reduces the overall mass of the material and hence reduces the energy needed for acceleration. Smoother shaped vehicles dramatically reduce drag and better tire designs cut the rolling distance of the vehicle2. But these are just basic improvements to be made to the generic automobile to increase efficiency.

The main component of a car would be the power that actually puts the car in motion. To be solely dependent on one power source is not a very good idea as it is not eco-friendly and at the same time not suitable. By 2040, half of all the new cars being sold will be hybrids, according to Exxon Mobile. Hybrid Cars are the cars that uses more than one power sources to run the car. It is usually referred to the Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) which has both the internal combustion engine and electric motors that generates power. One of the main problem with these hybrid cars is that their batteries are extremely heavy and takes up a large amount of space in the car. The concept of Hybrid cars can be a good thing to the environment, but definitely not for the car manufacturer or the customer. Hybrid cars have a convincing amount of weight due to their batteries, even with the existence of lithium-ion batteries. As a solution, Energy Storing Body Panels are used.

Makers of the hybrid cars need to evaluate the prices of other cars that are comparable and base its prices upon those results. Also, creating a bigger selection of hybrids to choose from would also be a plus. Therefore, if there is a big selection of these cars,

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.

The purpose for this research report is so that students can familiarize themselves with hybrid electric vehicles and their features that make them unique in contrast to other vehicles. This report will educate the reader on the “BMW i8’s” vital components such as the engine, battery, and other elements related to electric vehicles. To put into perspective the significant advantage hybrid electric vehicles have over vehicles

Figures of different hybrid models will also be included as well as a table comparing the costs of various hybrids to traditionally fuelled cars. This will help the audience get a sense of the price ranges for hybrid vehicles before they go out and decide to buy one. Finally, a table dealing with the performance specs of hybrids will be added to emphasize certain limitations with these models.

A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move. Conventional vehicles use gasoline (commonly called petrol) or diesel to power an internal combustion engine. Hybrid cars also use an internal combustion engine, and can be fuelled like normal cars, but also have one or more high voltage electric motors and battery, and can be partially or wholly powered by electricity. Hence are commonly referred to as hybrid electric
