Regenerative brake

Electric cars are better than gasoline powered vehicles because there maintenance is low cost. Brad Berman explains that, “The common assumption is $0.12 a kilowatt-hour for electricity and about $4.00 a gallon of gasoline”(“Total Cost of Ownership of an Electric Car” par.4). In other words, there is 1,000 watts in a kilowatt for one hour. Gasoline is very expensive, but to charge the battery of an electric vehicle is far less inexpensive than gasoline. Charging the battery for an electric…

mIntroduction Do You think that electric cars are better or worse for the environment? Well I think that they are better because they are better for the air we breathe. With them you’ll get perks. Also you’ll need less maintenance. By the time you finish reading this you will hopefully agree that there should be more electric cars. Reason 1 EV’s are better for the air we breathe cleaner air when more electric cars are on the road. Cleaner air means not as much sickness in the world, which means…

being driven efficiently. Many hybrids like Toyota Prius, gives you a display that shows your current mileage along with the average miles per gallon. It also tells how much energy can be regained with the brakes. Every other car provides you with an improved mileage when you accelerate and brake smoothly. Yet with a hybrid, you can really feel it, particularly when you accelerate bit by bit, because that's when only the electric engine is utilized.…

Regenerative braking is also used by most electric trains where the train’s kinetic energy is turned back to electric power which is returned back to the supply system.The 25Kv AC is also different from other trains that use high voltage direct current (DC)…

¬¬ Hybrid is a term that is used to describe a combination of two or more exclusive things, aiming to complete an objective. A vehicle that is a hybrid has two motors in the engine bay; one is an electric motor and the other gasoline powered motor. The reason that the two motors are combined is because it uses reducing deficiencies and strengths. The electric motor is used when it’s driven at a low speed, while the gas motor performs better at high speeds. It generates extra power for…

Hybrid cars are vehicles that combines the benefits of having both a gasoline engine as well as an electric motor. Hybrids also have battery packs in them, which powers the electric motor, and the gas engine charges the battery while it is running (“Hybrid Cars”). The electric motor makes the car more fuel efficient, where on the other hand, the engine allows the vehicle to go as fast as normal cars. This gives these cars improved fuel economy, increased power, and additional auxiliary power for…

Phillip Andrew Hocking Professor Jim Roth English 102 12 June 2017 Hybrid Cars – Do They Really Help the Environment while Helping My Wallet? The first vehicle that really could be classified as a hybrid is a sailboat that also has an oar. It is typical in sailing to run out of wind, so savvy sailors carry oars or an outboard to ensure that they can propel the craft when there is no wind. The word 'hybrid' when used in relation to an automobile is defined loosely as utilizing two or more…

INTRODUCTION When we talk about electric car we often have in mind that electric vehicle work on battery and electric motor thereby one important component that we often forget is power electronics. Power electronics plays the major role in electric and hybrid cars. Power electronics form the control center and brain of the electric drive. POWER ELECTRONICS The power electronic technology is becoming popular over the last 20 year. The purpose of the power electronic technology is to control the…

A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine and electric motor. While there are many types of hybrid vehicles, this paper will mainly focus on hybrid electric vehicles. Hybrid cars are a combination of electric and gas powered engines, and combine the best of both to be much more practical than just a simple gas powered or fully electric car. In the world today there are hundreds of ways to travel, like trains, planes, boats and cars. The most…
