Hybrid Cars - New Innovations And Myths
Hybrid cars have opened up a new chapter in the car industry. Many of the main stream car manufacturers are manufacturing hybrid cars or are planning to manufacture hybrid cars.

A hybrid car uses two power sources,Nike Zoom Kobe VII Sport Rød Sort Hvid, which are a gasoline engine and an electric motor. The electric motor gets its power from the batteries and the gasoline engine from petrol in the fuel tank. The advent of computers being used in managing hybrid cars has made a very big contribution in making the hybrid car a success.
The second biggest innovation used in hybrid cars is the intricate gearbox. The computer controls the gearbox and determines which power source to use to propel the car or to use both when extra power is needed. Two other innovations used in hybrid cars are the utilization of regenerative power when braking and the other is start/stop technology.
When the brakes are applied in a hybrid car,Frauen MBT Kisumu 2 Sandale - 013, the computer switches the electric motor to act as a generator,Nike Free Run Sko Blå Sort, and uses the slowing down power to charge the batteries.
