The Hybrid Electric Engine Concept

The human species is always advancing in technologically, medically, electronically, and even transportation. Transportation methods are one of the many contributions to our climate change issues we are experiencing. As we progress technologically, we have come up with better and more climate-friendly vehicles to prevent and reduce climate changes. With these advances in transportation, the hybrid car was introduced to the market. The hybrid car is a vehicle that uses two or more distinctive types of power, such as an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The introduction of the hybrid car to the market changed the consumer’s views and thoughts on climate change. It became evident to most consumers that climate change is a major issue not only in the U.S but also around the world. This involves severe levels of various chemicals such as carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. The brilliant innovation of hybrids is an attempt to turn the issues of climate change around or even reduce its effects on our planet. Ultimately, the goal is to reduce and prevent further climate changes, but how can the consumer attitude affect purchases of hybrids vehicles to help aid the climate change issues?

As technology advances in society, so do the fields of study that utilize these updated forms of technology. Mechanical engineers have improved automobile engines based on these technologic advances. Currently, the areas where engineers are focused include enhancing the transmissions, improving batteries by changing their chemistries, decreasing the load of automobiles, and creating hybrids. With improvement to these areas, the automobile engines are able to function more efficiently while simultaneously decreasing their environmental impact.

In 1830 the first electric car was made. It impacted how cars could be made. First generation electric cars paved the way for modern EVs because they can be more efficient, are getting increasingly popular , and more safe. Electric cars are influencing our technology and our economy. Electric’s are helping the world and “Ultimately, all-electric cars will reduce America’s dependence on petroleum” (Bell,11). because our existing oil is running low. Also electric cars are getting noticed now. Unlike in the late 1900s where they are being produced but were too expensive to buy and weren't practical.

In Henry Fountain's article, “Rethinking the Airplane, for Climate’s Sake,” he discusses a NASA’s new project in aviation technology. The plan is to completely remodel the airplane so that thinner, lighter wings will be able to change shape during flight to limit drag, and instead of using heavy jet motors, these new planes will contain many smaller, lighter electric motors. Because of their lighter weight, these more efficient airplanes of the future will use less fuel. Although we do not have the battery technology to be able to hold enough energy to make it through an entire flight and make planes all electric, hybrid electric planes could be a reality with these electric motors.

Last I believe the biggest advantage of having (EVVT) is in the future it could possibly help make the engine run cleaner and get rid of the egr system, to me that would be the turning point in today’s diesel technology.

I strongly agree with the idea that electric car should cost less than gasoline cars to persuade buyer to try a new product. According to one of the study, out of more than one billion registered vehicles on the road today, only two million are using electric (with one million of those in China) (Leahy, 2017). The purpose of the electric cars is to provide a more environmental-friendly method of transportation, so for this to happen electric cars needs to be sold cheaper a bit.

The electric car is arguably the most controversial product released in the car industry. Why, because the energy used to power these cars come from non-renewable energy sources which actually use more energy than a gasoline burning automobile. The EV1 was a modern fully electric vehicle produced by General Motors (GM) from the years 1996-1999. In 1999 General Motors recalled and destroyed all but 40 of this revolutionary product, because it was an "economic failure". It was a failure because it was improperly advertised and marketed. They tried selling the EV1 to the masses even though it was only meant to appeal to those looking to commute short distances and unfortunately having only leasing as opposed to being able to purchase one. Car owners understand how unappealing that is, and seeing how the average electric car speed capped off at a measly 60 MPH. So its easy to see how marketing helped prevent the EV1 from financial success

Climate change occurs mainly because of human activities, such as harvesting resources, industrialization, and technological invention, among other factors. One of the main reasons climate change has occurred in the last a few decades is because conventional cars which made their first appearance in 1886, have become increasingly popular. Although, conventional cars are more efficient and less expensive than hybrid cars, hybrid cars help reduce the negative impact on the environment more than conventional cars. A Hybrid car has disadvantages due to the battery and power of the engine, which has to improve over time, which makes people less likely to buy hybrid cars over conventional cars in the present such as gas and diesel. Even though both conventional and electric cars have negative impact on the environment, they have different scale of impact on the environment. By looking at how each system of both types of cars work, what the effect on fuel consumption rate and greenhouse gas emissions are, and what the disadvantages of electric cars are compared to conventional cars, hybrid electric cars are less likely to negatively impact on the environment more than conventional cars.

The idea of an electrically powered automobile was first generated by a Scottish man named Robert Anderson. Anderson did not know at the time, but electric cars would go on to become a crucial part of American daily life. The development of the electric car is one of the most important inventions in history because of its ability to decrease air pollution, its potential to make America money, and its advancement in technology which paved a path for generations to come. Every year the US spends billions of dollars on the oil industry which is an immense contribution to our massive debt. The oil industry also contributes to many of the problems that the world has with global warming and drastic climate change. If the United States became a country that only used electric cars, the world would be a much more pure, safe, stable place to live in. As America continues to drown itself in an overwhelming amount of debt, the electric car is an invention that could decrease the debt and contribute to getting America out of its debt.

Geographic regions have had great influences on the determinants of innovative activities and technological changes. It is bound together by a network of shared advantages which has created regional innovation clusters as well systems of connection globally that brought about long-term economic prosperity, productivity, and growth. These geographic innovation has had profound effects on our society with the invention of the automobile undeniably a standout. However, there are over one billion vehicles in the world today (Plumer, 2011), releasing potentially catastrophic amount of greenhouse gas. Hence the interest in a cleaner alternative has continually increased with electric cars at the forefront of research and development. Federal

Hybrid vehicles are slowly gaining popularity despite American car company 's failure to utilize the hybrid engine. During rush hours and heavy traffic, when vehicles are gaining most of their use, the hybrid engine helps reduce cost and maintain environmental health. American automotive companies need to start utilizing hybrid engines rather than normal gasoline-fueled engines by making hybrid engines the automotive standard.

Functional hybrids have additionally been around for over a century. By 1900, a Belgian carmaker introduced a hybrid that had a small gasoline engine along with an electric motor. Like the history of electric cars, the production of hybrid vehicles was at a standstill between the 1930’s and 1960’s due to the development of the piston combustion engine, and the fact that oil consumption and air quality were not pressing issues. After this period of time, hybrid vehicles once again attracted interest and by the 1990’s more time and energy were going into the development of hybrid vehicles (Berman 1). Most manufacturers developed EV’s on an experimental basis in the 1990’s, often with research subsidies from the government. But since these initial breakthroughs, the manufacture of EV’s driven solely by an electric motor has been discontinued due to practical considerations. The key problem was their limited range, often less than 100 miles, and the recharging process took upwards of several

A number of hybrid vehicles have been built and tested since 1980. Some of these vehicles have impressed analysts with their performance and low levels of exhaust and petroleum consumption. Interest in hybrid vehicles jumped in late 1993 with the announcement of funding for

The electric hybrid car: development and future of battery by Michael Hereward Westbrook (2001) mainly it deals with the history, process of electric cars manufacture. This book carries on many of considerable information attaching to my research question: “: How does Hybrid electric car generate electricity?”

I have always been interested in cars. Since my childhood I had the wish to know the mechanism of how cars work; so that I can build my own cars and eventually create and design my own brand. Due to the new revolution in car industry my interest in cars has gone even higher than before because these new revolution cars are environment friendly. This new revolution has been brought to the car industry by the introduction of hybrid cars because of the high fuel consumption and the increasing pollution; this is the best alternative despite the low performance and high maintenance cost, hybrid cars will overtake the conventional cars soon.
