combination of gasoline and electric powered car. Hybrid cars consist of a internal combustion engine that is small and fuel efficient. The hybrid cars internal combustion engine is assisted by the electric motor when the car is accelerating. The electric motor is generated by rechargeable batteries that automatically recharges when the car is being driven. The Toyota and Honda hybrids work and operate in a similar manner. The engine for gasoline is smaller then the regular conventional cars. Essentially

Moreover‚ it should be noted that propulsion systems were enriched drastically from simple rubber band propellers to liquid fuel internal combustion engines and electrical motors powered by batteries and fuel cells. However‚ in order to comprehend the various types propulsion systems employed on board the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)‚ certain parameters and configurations of Nano and Micro

biofuel additive for gasoline. 2. What potential is there to use ethanol as an alternative car fuel? * Ethanol can be used in internal combustion engines if it can be economically produced from renewable resources or subsidized as a fuel to reduce air pollution. * The advantages of using ethanol include its complete combustion with minimal pollution. It can also be made in a number of ways. See the diagram below. 3. What are three advantages and there disadvantages

propulsion that means combining a normal petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor (Webster‚ 2014). Second perspective from expert is the hybrid vehicle utilizes two different power train “varieties” or energy sources and merges them to form one hybrid power train (Cobb‚ 2014). The third idea about hybrid car is it utilize more than one form of onboard energy to achieve propulsion which means a hybrid will have a traditional internal combustion engine and a fuel tank as well

about INGNITION SYSTEM An ignition system is a system for igniting a fuel-air mixture. Ignition systems are well known in the field of internal combustion engines such as those used in petrol (gasoline) engines used to power the majority of motor vehicles‚ but they are also used in many other applications such as in oil-fired and gas-fired boilers‚ rocket engines and so on. BREAK POINT TYPE This type of ignition system has the most basic construction. With this type‚ the primary current and ignition

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Cars Introduction to Electric Cars An electric car is a vehicle which is driven by electric engines. The engines use electrical energy which is usually stored in batteries. Electric car is a variation of electric vehicle (EV). EV speaks of any vehicles which are propelled by electric engines. “Electric car” is a general term for high-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity. In the United States‚ low-speed vehicles which are powered by electricity
