Hybrid Electric Vehicles The Dark Side John Orttenburger Lake Superior State University April 10‚ 2011 Abstract In the past decade‚ hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) have been making a big commotion with the innovative‚ gas saving technologies that accompany them. The illusion that HEVs are 100 percent environmentally friendly in all aspects also follows the HEV wave. Sadly the illusion often wins over unsuspecting customers the instant better gas mileage is offered. This review on the environmental

Nowadays‚ increasingly more people go for hybrid cars‚ due to many reasons. They are a lot cheaper to maintain‚ and the most important thing of all is that they do not cause any sort of damage to the surrounding environment. Therefore‚ if you are planning to get one as well‚ then here are some of the most efficient hybrid cars. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SUV A car like this is not as expensive as many people might think it is. It is actually quite reasonable‚ and you will certainly love it. This

Hybrid threat adaptation is the ability to find a way to defeat or at a minimum negate the effectiveness of the hybrid threat. This adaptation process can occur in one of two ways‚ it can occur as a natural adaptation or as a directed adaptation. A natural adaptation occurs when the government or group of personnel facing the hybrid threat have the ability to adapt their equipment‚ personnel‚ or TTPs proactively to the threat using their political‚ economic‚ military or informational capabilities

Classifications of the Hybrid Electric Vehicles: The hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are the special types of vehicles that make use of two things together‚ i.e. conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric propulsion system‚ which together help in achieving fuel efficiency as compared to any other vehicle. The degree of efficiency and improvement provided by the HEVs depend on the degree and the type of propulsion systems they make use of. The engineers have succeeded in adding

such as hybrid cars. Even though hybrid cars use gas‚ it will be better for our environment and will be able to prevent a smaller amount of pollution in the air. Many people do not realize it or might not even care‚ but if it goes on like this‚ our world would be very polluted; the air we breathe in will be even more contaminated; so stop driving conventional cars and go buy a hybrid car. First of all‚ with regular cars that are run by gas only; they leave excess gas into the air. With hybrid cars

present work was to formulate‚ characterize and optimize the preparations of hybrid nanoparticles containing dapsone which is finally converted into gel for topical drug delivery. The formulations were characterized for particle size‚ zeta potential and entrapment efficiency and were optimized by applying factorial design of experiment (23). The results showed that the optimal formulation (HN 4) of dapsone loaded hybrid nanoparticles had average particle size of 277nm‚ zeta potential of 26.7 mV‚
