Electric motors are more efficient than combustion engines because engines losses high amount of burned fuel as a heat‚ resulting high proportion of energy loss. This means electric cars are more efficient than hybrids. However‚ hybrid cars increase their efficiency when using the electric motor only and the engine is not too heavy which gives the car less weight. Jack Stewart reported that a research has proved hybrid cars are

early 19th century were portable engines – steam engines on wheels that could be used to drive mechanical farm machinery by way of a flexible belt. The first engine-powered farm tractors used steam and were introduced in 1868. These engines were built as small road locomotives and were operated by one man if the engine weighed less than 5 tons. They were used for general road haulage and in particular by the timber trade. Around 1850‚ the first traction engines were developed from these‚ and

no gummy deposits‚ thus keeps engine clean. Although a minimal 10% ethanol blend should be compatible with internal combustion engines‚ it can cause slight damage to unmodified cars‚ such as the deterioration of rubber/plastic components in fuel systems. Ethanol contains the hydroxyl (-OH) group‚ giving it an affinity for water. In vehicles‚ the absorption of water by ethanol-blended fuel will affect drivability and may damage engine The need to redesign car engines (to counter ethanol-fuel problems

combination of gasoline and electric powered car. Hybrid cars consist of a internal combustion engine that is small and fuel efficient. The hybrid cars internal combustion engine is assisted by the electric motor when the car is accelerating. The electric motor is generated by rechargeable batteries that automatically recharges when the car is being driven. The Toyota and Honda hybrids work and operate in a similar manner. The engine for gasoline is smaller then the regular conventional cars. Essentially

biofuel additive for gasoline. 2. What potential is there to use ethanol as an alternative car fuel? * Ethanol can be used in internal combustion engines if it can be economically produced from renewable resources or subsidized as a fuel to reduce air pollution. * The advantages of using ethanol include its complete combustion with minimal pollution. It can also be made in a number of ways. See the diagram below. 3. What are three advantages and there disadvantages

propulsion that means combining a normal petrol or diesel engine with an electric motor (Webster‚ 2014). Second perspective from expert is the hybrid vehicle utilizes two different power train “varieties” or energy sources and merges them to form one hybrid power train (Cobb‚ 2014). The third idea about hybrid car is it utilize more than one form of onboard energy to achieve propulsion which means a hybrid will have a traditional internal combustion engine and a fuel tank as well
