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

automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine. In 1885‚ Gottlieb Daimler took the internal combustion engine a step further and patented what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine and later built the world’s first four-wheeled motor vehicle. The Steam Engine Thomas Savery was an English military engineer and inventor who in 1698‚ patented the first crude steam engine. Thomas Newcomen invented the atmospheric steam engine in 1712. James Watt improved Newcomen’s

A hybrid car definition: The word hybrid is usually applied to plants and animals which have been cross-bred between species to produce something new. A hybrid car is a passenger vehicle that is driven by a hybrid engine‚ which can run on two or more fuel sources. In other word‚ Hybrid cars are primarily gas powered cars with electrical motor assist Why hybrid car? : Here are the reasons why you should choose a hybrid car instead of normal car: 1. Hybrid cars are environment friendly

environment impact As Johnson Matthey is primarily in the research and development field of products the technological environment impacts them and visa versa. However if the technological field should change so much as to rule out the internal combustion engine altogether then catalytic converters will be outdated and rendered redundant. In response to this Johnson Matthey has researched and continues to research alternative technologies to further improve on current ideas (Johnson Matthey case
