Hybrid Car Vs Electric Car And Alternative Technology
In an effort to reduce environmental pollution or global warming, car manufacturers have succeeded in creating cars that can use a variety of alternative energy. Among others, hydrogen, fuel gas (CNG) and the last is also popular electric car.
However, among the vehicle, the hybrid option is still a major choice for car producer. Terrible, hybrid is not just concept, but is marketed in bulk. One example is the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight.
Alternative energy sources, such as hydrogen, BBG, and elpiji really interesting. The problem for the fuel type of infrastructure that is needed is quite expensive. This is due to the nature of gas; be compressed, which causes very high pressure. As a result, it required weight of the tank and also a special handling.
In other cases, electric cars are very interesting. The problem, mileage for one time charging is very limited. Infrastructure to recharge is not available, especially in public places. In addition, the time needed to recharge the battery is still relatively long. Consequently, the most fitting solution is hybrid.
Power Train
Power train consists of two source engine (internal combustion engine) and electric motor. The lack of two sources, cost or price more expensive compared with only one engine. In addition, the technology also add complex.
Conversely, the benefits hybrid car, the fuel consumption is very economical. Plus the value of other, friendly to the environment. Hybrid car owner is a person who participated reduce global warming, is now increasingly worrisome condition.
Hybrid car owners will not face problems such as a car on electricity, hydrogen. Condition is the same with cars that are now used as the fuel or diesel fuel that can be obtained in almost every fuel filling station. Main source of hybrid cars are still in the engine (internal combustion chamber). Oil is a source of energy (gasoline or diesel). Both types of fuel is easily obtained.
So, as the additional energy and is used in certain conditions, used electric motor. Mover of the last to obtain electricity from a battery. In other cases, obtain energy from the battery engine, electricity from the house, and the brake is used during recovery.
Less fuel consume
In fact, the energy produced by machine can not be used for moving vehicle. Some energy waste for example, to cooling system, muffler, engine parts, transmission parts and rub against each other plus.
Even when the car is brake, energy from engine waste. Components of the brake wheels are so hot. Precisely, the energy of the machine movement was changed to heat energy. Well, at the present time hybrid car, energy is taken again.
When the car is brake, kinetic energy converted into electricity. How, as the wheel or in the transmission been generator. Electricity generated by the generator, when the main rotary engine, and when the car is brake, converted into electricity. Furthermore, electrical energy is stored in the battery.
Electric motor
On certain conditions, when the car would accelerate, the car no longer control the machine to raise the lap. Computers will control the power the car’s electric motor to obtain a source of energy from the battery.
Even, if necessary, during heavy traffic jammed, cars and roads spread, simply by using electricity. Main engines do not need to live. Conditions have created a hybrid car is far more economical.
In other cases, when the energy decreases starting at the battery, the main engine will work like a car now. Besides can be used to cover travel, of course, the rate is used in battery. Even hybrid cars are the current-use lithium-ion battery, can be filled quickly. Simply plug in the cord to electric source at home!
