groups that have really been pushing their use. Tough these cars do not share the same performance qualities of some gas-powered cars; the current technology has been rapidly catching up. Hybrid vehicles have offered in some ways the best of both worlds. The cars are environmentally friendly yet offer the power and distance capabilities of other cars on the market. Furthermore‚ there have been many ways of supplying electricity to the cars including home-rechargeable batteries and hydrogen power. Electric

gasoline one. An electric car is a car that powered by an electric motor rather than a regular gasoline engine. There are several major differences between gasoline and electric cars. First of all‚ “the electric motor will replace the gasoline engine” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Secondly‚ “the electric motor is powered by a controller” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). Thirdly‚ “the controller gets power from the rechargeable batteries” (“How Electric”‚ 2004). In an electric car‚ according to Brain‚ the

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.

breakthrough in technology. Cugnot also has another title to his name: the first person ever to be involved in a motor vehicle accident in 1770. He crashed his second invention of the steam-powered tricycle‚ which could carry 4 passengers. In 1789‚ the American Oliver Evans was granted the first US patent for a steam-powered land vehicle thus introduced America to a new mode of transportation. In 1807‚ another breakthrough was brought about. A Swiss man named Francois Isaac de Rivaz invented the internal

Bikes vs. Cars Lots of people find it hard to differ a bike from a car. They normally choose the car and ignore the bike. Today in our country people are too lazy to see their similarities and just choose the one that’s easier to drive. Although they are similar by giving you transportation‚ they definitely have a large amount of differences too. Bikes are made and bought in a lot of different styles‚ sizes‚ and colors. Bikes have two wheels and are powered by physical labor from the driver

This year in science‚ we were paired up in groups to build a car powered only by a rubber band. There was a lot of physics and thought put behind the planning of our car. The rubber band moved the car by storing up elastic potential energy which then turned into kinetic energy when released. Newton’s Laws of Motion also come in handy when thinking about how to keep the car moving. “An object in motion stays in motion.” There was also a lot of thought put into the wheels. We had to be aware of the

Is the electric car the car the future? The main reason to buy an electrical car is the reduced CO2 emission. Reducing pollution coming from cars is a great way to fight global warming. It’s not only less pollution it also costs less. Each kilometer you drive in an electric car costs considerably less than with a comparable fuel car. The motor of an electric car also has a great advantage point with its speed. Electrical engines have a one gear box motor‚ it doesn’t have to shift gears. This
