Hybrid Car
The Hybrid Cars are type of cars that uses distinct power sources to
move them, the most common used term for the hybrid cars are the Electric
hybrids cars which mainly uses an engine and electrical motors. There are two
types of the electrical hybrid cars which are the parallel hybrid cars which
use either the electric motor or gasoline engine to turn the transmission, and
the series hybrid car which only has the electric motor which is directly connected
to the transmission, The gasoline engine is used for charging the batteries
that are used to charge the electrical motor.
In the early days of the 17th
century a Jesuit priest named by Ferdinand Vebiest started working on the
hybrid vehicle, this was the first type in the world of hybrid cars. At first
he started his plans to begin working on a simple 4-wheel vehicle that could
run on steam. Although he spent around 15 years there were no evidence that
hybrid cars ever came to exist. Later on by the 18th century came a
person named by Nicholas Cugnot came out with a steamed carriage, he did all
the needed drawings and came up with a vehicle that could move at a speed of 6
miles per hour. Personally I consider this to be a big step in hybrid car
inventions, but the big problem was that it was really hard to maintain enough
steam to travel any real distance, so people considered this to be not very
successful project. In the 19th century the efforts started in Scotland
by Robert Anderson where the first electrical powered car was created. This
vehicle had limited range and the battery power was very difficult to recharge.
And by 1870 a lighter motor was invented by Sir David Solomon, and the battery
was a problem too.
The
developments came in the 20th century and basically in 1900 when an employee at
the Lonher Coach factory named by Ferdinand Porsche developed 4 wheel hybrid
vehicle named by the (MIXTE), it included a pair of generators driven by an
engine and it could travel for 65km on batteries. This MIXTE broke several
records and won several awards. The MIXTE used a gasoline engine which was
powering a generator. It had a top speed of 50km/hr. later on 1902 came George
Fischer from England producing a Racing Hybrid. More and more trails came in
the 20th century to develop the hybrid car.
Modern
developments accrue in the 21st century where several companies such
as: Toyota, Honda and Ford and more over started to develop their own designs
of hybrid cars and the release them to the markets. More than 4.5 million
hybrid electric vehicles have been sold worldwide by the end of December 2011.The
latest hybrid car was released in 2012 by Volkswagen is working by diesel
–electric hybrid and gasoline-electric hybrid car. There are also new hybrids
cars are scheduled to be released within 2012 from the following companies
(Audi – BMW – Ford and Volkswagen).
In
conclusion I would like to write that people are becoming more and more
interested in the new hybrid cars that are coming out every year. People love
them because they are more environmental friendly and can offer longer rides;
also they have excellent performance capabilities and can operate like the
gasoline powered cars. Maybe in the future people will stop using the normal
cars because on the environment pollution issue and the hybrid cars will be
used widely.
"If you think
hybrid-electric vehicles are a 21st Century exclusive, think again. General
Motors showed off (working!) hybrid prototypes in the 1960s and the technology
was already more than 60 years old! Take a trip with me, into the forgotten
history of hybrid cars" (Borras, J. (2010,
