Hybrid Cars and the Basics of How They Work Author: Anthony Chatfield The auto industry has been abuzz about the developments and introduction of new technologies for as long as it's been around. The big new of this decade is the introduction of the Hybrid car. It's not quite the electric machine everyone thought we'd be driving by now, but it's halfway there and it's a good solid step in that direction. But what exactly goes on under that slick new hood that makes these cars so special? The science is a bit stuffy, but the basics are simple enough. It's not even new technology necessarily. Buses and trains have been running with the help of electricity for years, but now it's a consumer product, something you and I can go out and pick up from the car lot and drive around town. Electric cars have a lot of drawbacks. They're hard to maintain, harder to charge up, and don't go nearly as far as you'd like, and we all know the drawbacks of the gasoline powered machines we drive around now. The mixture of the two is an attempt to cut back on emissions and gas mileage while not falling victim to the pitfalls of electric cars. Basically, with a hybrid you're bypassing the negatives of both sides. You still run your car on gasoline, but now it takes half as much and instead of the gasoline powering your car directly, it powers the batteries and generator that do most of the actual work. If you brake or release the accelerator, the generator takes and stores energy from the motion in the car's motor, putting it back in the batteries and recycling it into the all powerful energy that will propel your car forward. It sounds complicated but it's really a matter of inserting a middle man between gasoline and your car that doesn't pollute or deplete as you use it. The fact that you're still using gasoline is a necessity at this point as it would take a 1000 pound battery to emit as much energy as 1 gallon of gasoline. Gasoline is still an amazing formula capable of storing vast amounts of energy. Until a suitable alternative can be found and refined to the degree needed to operate a motor vehicle in our high powered, quick moving world, the hybrid is the scientific equivalent of a godsend. Our only other alternative is walking, or to start breaking the laws of physics. About the author: ***You may use this article on your website as long as the two URLs are hyperlinked.
