Second, the software. In the "Hybrid Control" section of Techstream, there is an option to test battery charging and what data to monitor. I monitored the Hybrid battery for 20 mins with charging and discharging cycles. I plotted an overlapping graph of "Batt Block Min Vol" and "Batt Bloc...
The power split device is the heart of the Toyota Prius, the most famous hybrid vehicle. This is a clever gearbox that hooks the gasoline engine, generator and electric motor together. It allows the car to operate like a parallel hybrid: The electric motor can power the car by itself, the...
The PEMFC, also known as the proton exchange membrane fuel cells, has a high power density and a relatively low operating temperature (ranging from 60 to 80 degrees Celsius, or 140 to 176 degrees Fahrenheit). The low operating temperature means that it doesn't take very long for the fuel ...

A single fuel cell produces only about as much electricity as a single dry-cell battery—nowhere near enough to power a laptop computer, let alone a car. That's why fuel cells designed for vehicles use stacks of fuel cells linked together in a series. The total electricity they produce is...
Toyota's hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car. Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off arechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines which are smaller ...
That electricity then fuels the car's powertrain, which is similar to the combination of an electric motor and battery-based energy storage that drives modern hybrid cars. Solar cars can accomplish this through photovoltaic cells (PVC). PVCs are the components in solar paneling that convert the ...
Many have questioned the "unique" looks of the Toyota Prius hybrid, but it has an extremely aerodynamic shape for a good reason. Among other efficient characteristics, its Cd of .26 helps it achieve very high mileage. In fact, reducing the Cd of a car by just 0.01 can result in a 0.2...
There is AWD hybrid Fit in Japan that I like but not much info about it 🙁 J-ManReply 10:40 February 19, 2019 In addition… DONT LISTEN to anyone who says an automatic transmission has “lifetime” fluid… THERE IS NO SUCH THING!!!
How much will you save with a hybrid? Prius maps it out.The article discusses a computer application from Toyota Motor Sales USA that enables users to calculate how much money they could save by driving a Toyota Prius. Users traverse a map with the computer's mouse, and the application ...
