How does a hybrid vehicle?

Hybrid cars use an electric motor and internal combustion. Depending on the type of use for which they are designed, hybrid cars may be in series or in parallel.
Hybrid cars use an electric motor and internal combustion. Depending on the type of use for which they are designed, hybrid cars may be in series or in parallel.
In the former, the internal combustion engine drives a generator that supplies electricity to an electric motor, same being connected to the wheels, ie finally moves the vehicle with the power supplied by the electric motor, which uses the energy produces electric generator driven by the internal combustion engine.

The advantage of this type of car is that if you need performance or autonomy, the electric motor can get both battery power and generator.

In parallel hybrid vehicles, both the electric motor and the gas are connected to the vehicle wheels. They are more complex, but also more effective in order to reduce consumption and emissions without compromising performance. For city traffic, where you do not need a lot of power and looking for a zero emissions, the vehicle operates only with the electric motor that draws current from the batteries installed in the car.

These batteries can be recharged through a power outlet when the car is stationary, or by the generator coupled to the internal combustion engine when it is running. When working in this way, the force which reaches the wheels also comes solely from the electric motor are fed to produce electricity generator and the combustion engine.

To get more features and autonomy road vehicle uses the power of the electric motor and the gasoline at once.

The "flying car" is already a reality and will be on sale.

This is the "Terrafugia Transition" and has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States. It will cost about $ 200,000.

It uses the same gasoline that cars and has two wings to fly down. This vehicle, like something out of a science fiction story, and wheel and fly by the state of Massachusetts, where it was developed, and would be available in the market from next year.

A group of engineers trained at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, by name) and Terrafugia, located in the same state, were the ones who gave life to this futuristic transportation.

The flying car, known as "Transition", can carry two crew, is handled with a bow similar to a conventional car and can be stored in a standard size garage.

LAND: 184 KPH IN AIR: 740 KPH

The 'aircraft wheels', as called Terrafugia, can fly at speeds of up to 184 kilometers per hour and average flight is 740 miles. To take off, the car needs a runway of 500 meters.

Thanks to using unleaded gasoline, fuel instead of airplanes or aircraft, the aircraft flying car is more 'green' that is in the world, as it consumes just 7.85 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers of flight . To man the "Transition", which is listed as a sport aircraft, it is not necessary to be a pilot, because it requires a license only in the United States comes with 20 hours of flight.
