Electric Vehicle Electric vehicles use electric motors to drive their wheels. They derive some or all of their power from large‚ rechargeable batteries. All-electric EVs‚ where the battery is the only power source. Most current (non-luxury) models have a quoted range of 80-120 miles (130-190 km). In practice‚ range varies according to driving style‚ terrain and the use of auxiliary equipment such as heating/air conditioning. Electric Vehicle Component Type of Electric Vehicle Battery electric

Hybrid cars: Corrected Abstract: A hybrid car‚ also known as an HEV or hybrid electric vehicle‚ is an automobile that is powered by two sources; an internal combustion engine‚ and an electric motor. HEV’s need plugs‚ as they are amply charged by the movement of the wheels and storing the kinetic energy that is generated through a process called regenerative braking. cars have been accepted as a solution to the current pollution problems that we face‚ as they offer lower emissions than gasoline

Repulsorlifts were used in the study to find out if they can be used to replace the wheels of a conventional car. It was hypothesized that it will be able to lift a car using magnetic repulsion forces. The different magnets were tested individually with the usual tests for magnetic strength‚ size‚ and temperature increase‚ which were done in the preliminary testing. The prototype road and car were then constructed based on the specifications that had been identified after the preliminary testing. The

This year in science‚ we were paired up in groups to build a car powered only by a rubber band. There was a lot of physics and thought put behind the planning of our car. The rubber band moved the car by storing up elastic potential energy which then turned into kinetic energy when released. Newton’s Laws of Motion also come in handy when thinking about how to keep the car moving. “An object in motion stays in motion.” There was also a lot of thought put into the wheels. We had to be aware of the
