How Does a Hybrid Engines Work?

HOW DOES A HYBRID ENGINE WORK? We've all heard of how great hybrid The price of gas is a major reason 75% of those who say 4X cars are at conserving gas, and with why sales of green cars - including they would consider fuel prices on the rise, many consumers hybrids - are expected to increase a hybrid cite lower fuel are considering making the switch. 4X by 2016. costs as the main reason. THE HYBRID REVEALED The 2010 Toyota Prius is the world's most popular hybrid car. Here is how it works: A Hybrid vehicle uses a combination of a internal combustion engine and a battery electric drive system to increase fuel economy and reduce emissions. Electric motor: 6.5 amperes & 258 Ib-ft torque Power split transmission (2 Speed) Electric generator Fuel Tank Battery Pack - 25 kW (34 hp) Small gasoline engine: 70 HP 4 cylinder & 82 Ib-ft torque HOW THE ENGINES WORK TOGETHER WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP DURING NORMAL CRUISING The electric motor powers the car, drawing on the battery for power. Up Only the gasoline engine is used because this is when it is most efficient. to 15 MPH, the vehicle uses only the electrical motor for power. This is During cruising, the gasoline engine can also power the generator, which one of the reasons why hybrids are more efficient during city driving produces electricity and stores it in the batteries for later use. than on the highway. DURING HEAVY ACCELERATION DURING BRAKING AND CRUISING Both the gasoline engine and the electric engine work together to increase When the brakes are applied or the pressure is released from the gas pedal, power to the wheels. The two motors working together is only possible the hybrid uses a clever system known as 'regenerative braking! Since the because of the power split transmission, which combines the output of the vehicle is already slowing down, it doesn't need to keep the gasoline engine two motors. At this time, the gasoline engine also powers the generator. or the electrical motor running. The hybrid stops feeding power to both and The electric motor uses electricity from the battery and the generator allows the spinning wheels to power the vehicles generator. The generator as needed. then produces electricity and stores it in the battery for later use. WHEN REACHING A COMPLETE STOP THIS IS HOW THE PRIUS REACHES: 51 MPG / CITY 48 MPG / CITY The car emits 71% less CO2 than a Hummer H3, and 20% less methane Both the gasoline engine and the electric motor turn off. The vehicle uses gas than an adult sheep. the battery power to run all the auxiliary vehicle systems, such as air conditioning, radio, lights, etc. THE FUTURE OF THE HYBRID The most fuel-efficient hybrid is the Volkswagen diesel Hybrid L1 concept. $ 15.5 3,82 (100 KM The L1 is due to hit the market in It can travel 100 kilometers on a The VW L1 could make it from New York City to 2013, but with regular gas priced single liter of fuel. That's 170 MPG. Los Angeles, California on just 15.5 gallons of fuel. around $3.82/gallon, the technology is needed now more than ever.
