hybrid electric cars and cost and building one?

Ashley1nOn

i was wondering im only a teen.. i wondered if you are driving the electric cars/gas....yes you are saving money on gas... but how much oney are you having to spend on your home electric bill just to recharge your car.. different areas have different price in electric bills and where i live the price is pretty steep. .so just charing the car is going to cost you home wise....then of course you have to pay for all of the instalation of the elctric system.. you have to get the battery change out...i have heard that there rattled in these hybrid cars when the swtich from gas and go to electric...



my main question is.... are you really saving when you buy hybrid cars........or should you wait on the hybrid cars to come out(later date) so all the kinks in the car are gone...


also wih building a car.. a group of kids and i have a dodge challenger(mine 09 suppercharged i got a new one cult enegry10 srt8 yayyyyme) but what we have done was get a used hhybrid car and took the battery out we have been working on the car for a while to get it to efficenly work on the challenger... it runs smooth and great.... the only problem is that you have to switch it over to hybrid or gas before you turn the car on.... we were wondering is there anyway we could get the car to switch over while the car is on say we are at a red light and want to to it back to gas... what would be a better way to have it.. its a diesel hybrid what we call it.. we did alot of modifacation to make sure it works properly and runs smooth because we still wanted a hot muscle car sound...


so is there anyway we can get the car to switch over while we are driving....



thank you very much,
the future of cars



sorry for my bad spelling


oh and we can get the car to get 23mpg on the electric and 17mpg for just the gas

Answer
You pay 1/4 as much (to go the same distance in the same car) for electric as you do for gas.

Installing a 220V 30A breaker doesn't cost much at all. That can charge an electric car at 15 miles per hour (15 miles of range for each hour of charge). That's as much as you need. For faster charging than that you need to install a special box.

Hybrid cars will get less expensive as the price of the batteries goes down. How much you save in gas depends on the price of gas and how much you drive. Can you predict what the price of gas will be in the next 7 years? Of course not, no one can. But I'll tell you this, it aint going to go down. At $4.00 per gallon, your savings in gas usually out weighs the higher car payment.

Listen dude, we don't know what components you're using in your car or how you have it wired up. How are we supposed to know how to rewire your own creation? But I'll tell you this, taking off from a red light, it's better to have electric and diesel at the same time as opposed to just diesel.

People often think of hybridizing as a way of saving fuel, but that's not actually the case. It's a way of increasing the power without burning that much more fuel. Some car manufacturers use it as a way of getting super high gas mileage by using a super small engine and still having enough power to move. But you could just as easily use it as a speed mod. Like a super charger or nitrous, only instead of burning more fuel and shortening the life of your engine, you burn the same amount and lengthen the life of your engine.

What are the best car brands?

Rahm

Answer
depends on what you want.
if you want sheer speed at a good price the Nissan GT-R is hard to beat but it can't go off road or carry many kids around.

personally i think the best overall car is the Tesla Model S P85+. it's large and spacious for storage. it can carry 5+2 people so it does the same job as a minivan, it's fast (as fast 0-60 acceleration as an audi R8), it's safe (highest rated crash test results ever, in fact it even broke the roof drop testing machine while passing the test), it's efficient (being completely electric with a more than usable range the cost to run the model S is much lower than a regular gasoline car), it's good looking (though it might not be the best looking car ever made, it's the best all electric car available making it desirable), it's innovative and has the highest ownership satisfaction of any car.

sure there are cars that can do some of these things better than the Tesla but they usually lack a lot of other things that the tesla excels at.

What happened to electric cars like the one a neighbor drove back around 1960?

how to make kids electric cars go faster image

Sassy Sue

While watching "Who Killed the Electric Car?" I was jolted into remembering that when I was a kid, a neighbor had an electric car! It was small and different looking, but worked great. He was a big guy, but could fit at least 4 kids in w him, and it went as fast as other vehicles, and I know he took us at least 20 miles round-trip, no problem.

Answer
The technology at the time used heavy lead-acid batteries. A tankful of gasoline plus the tank itself, in an intermediate car, weighs perhaps 90 kg (200 pounds), and would fuel the car for perhaps 600 km (350 miles). Lead-acid batteries of the same weight might give a range of 30 km (20 miles). Electric cars extended the range by carrying as much as a tonne of batteries, adding weight also to the car to support the batteries.
You can still buy some electric cars or car kits such as the "Voltswagen". Mines use electric vehicles, some powered by Edison cells (iron-nickel alkaline) which have low energy density but a looong lifetime.

How can I make a homemade electric generator to power my house?

swaggerifi

I was thinking about buying used car batteries from the junk yard and connecting them with jumper cables then testing the connected batteries with a battery tester to see how many volts it has. I havent tried this yet so I dont know if it will work do you guys have any idea on how to make a generator so I wont have to pay for power

Answer
To make an electrical generator, you need to have a length of wound copper wire rotating inside a magnetic field (refer to elementary physics).

Gasoline/diesel/etc. generators run basically like your car's engine, but instead of turning wheels, it uses the motion to rotate the wire inside the magnetic field, producing electricity. Remember, energy can't be created or destroyed. The chemical potential energy in your combustible fuel is being converted to kinetic energy, which is being converted into electrical energy.

A wind turbine is more "free" in that you don't have to go out and buy drums of oil to make your electricity. But it works on the same principle, but in this case, it's the turbine blades catching the wind that spins the copper loop, creating electricity.

As far as your batteries go, you may be able to store it there, but to charge any battery, from AA to car, you need the correct circuit and voltage, or nothing will happen. So you probably can't use your batteries. But if you can, all that you an do is store the potential energy there, and use it at a later time.

But if you just want to play with making a generator, try this:

First, you need to choose the energy source that you want to convert into electricity. You can use a stationary bicycle, a water wheel, wind turbine, a bored child willing to do some menial work on a set of gears, or virtually anything else with a rotating axle. You do have to choose the source, because as I said - you can't get energy from nothing.

Take that copper wire that I talked about, and make that loop that I also talked about, but leave two ends free (you need that to form the electric circuit). The larger the number of turns in the loop, the more electricity you can generate for the same amount of rotation. Kind of like an electric pulley system, to use a bad analogy.

Take your loop, and connect it to your energy source. You need to be able to rotate the loop end-over-end, without twisting the two connecting wires about each other, because if they do, you'll get a short circuit, and boom, it's done. One way to successfully accomplish this is to connect one wire to the rotating axle and the other wire to a conducting "brush" that maintains contact with a second conductor.

Make sure that you've sufficiently supported the loop so that it's out of the way of any moving parts of the energy source (such as your legs and the pedals if you pay a seven year old to ride a bicycle that never goes anywhere - give them one of those hand-held video games, they'll never notice). To make sure that you get this right, you may need to reinforce your loop with plastic or another light (but sturdy) material.

Grab some magnets (permanent magnets), and arrange them around the loop so that the loop can rotate freely between them. Take care to ensure that you arrange the magnets to maximize the field strength. One good and simple method is to make the south end of one magnet face the north end of another.

Stick the two conductors on your energy source to a battery, circuit, chainsaw, whatever it is that you want to drive. Again, you need to keep your wires separate to avoid a short circuit, so you'll need to use some kind of brush mechanism again, or whatever more clever thing that you can come up with that I haven't considered.

Poke the kid and get him to start peddling, or release your turbine to the wind, whatever you want. The amount of energy that you get from your turbine will depend on the efficiency of its construction, materials used, and how much mechanical energy us put in to drive it and spin the turbine itself (a faster peddling kid will give you more electricity than a slower one).

Run with it. A home-built turbine is unlikely to provide your house with any really useful power, unless you've really taken some time, money, and thought into it (which is possible). But you might run some simple things from your standard knock-off generator, such as perhaps basement lighting, that kind of thing.

How do I make an electric 4-wheeler faster?

how to make kids electric cars go faster image

dgreen7550

My kids have battery-driven cars. I've seen a video where some guys rigged theirs to go a LOT faster than what the delivered speed is (around 5 mph). Any hints on how to make this type of machine go faster?

Answer
try putting in a bigger/better motor combo. If you have the money to spare buy them gas powered ones, theyre the best.

how can i make a remote control car go faster?

warlooker

i brought a small remote control car about less than $20.00 hoping i can make it go faster.
how can i make it go faster i want to put a battery in so the motor can spin faster and oil my gears.
but is there any other way to do it.
thank you guys for helping.

Answer
For $20.00 you can't expect to get much more out of the car. It's not really built for speed at that price. Basically, this is a kids toy. There is a huge difference between remote control cars for kids and remote control cars for adults. The complexities of the cars have a very wide gap. Kids cars will run on just a few AA batteries. RC cars for adults feature full miniature engines. Lots of the popular motor kits run on fuel such as gasoline or nitro. Others run on large battery packs that are essentially beefed up versions of kids toys. These cars require just as much maintenance as a real car, since they have all of the same components (plus all of the radio transmitting gear!) to deal with.

So you may want to save up and get your moneys worth by opting for petrol, nitro or electric models. The fastest engine choice that you can find is a nitro engine. Nitromethane is an alternative to regular gasoline, and runs much better for RC cars. It is usually heavier, and therefore more cumbersome on the handling of the car. However, if you are going to be on a fairly straightforward and tame race course, it is a great choice and will provide a huge speed. The only down side is that nitro engines are known for wearing down faster, and breaking at a higher rate. If you use a nitro engine frequently, you can almost expect it to break after intense usage. It is a good idea to have an electric engine that you can swap it out with when the need arises.

The other parts of the car are equally important when you are aiming for absolute fastness. If you are you going all-out on a project, you should expect to spend quite a bit on components like wheels and axels. Usually you want to get wheels that are extremely firm and light. If you have the opportunity to go out to a hobby store and test out a few different components, you will be able to decide exactly what you want based on experiencing it first-hand. This is the best way to shop for anything, and the same goes for remote control cars. Since the parts are usually highly swappable, you can directly compare one with another by trying them in quick succession.

If you arenât a very technically inclined person, the thought of picking all of these parts might not sound very fun. However, you might not have to go through this process. It is possible to buy kits that include all top of the line parts, and are quite easy to assemble. With these you wonât get the high level of customization that you would get out of building a regular home-made car. Being able to choose all of the parts separately is a great benefit, although 90% of the time you can replace individual parts if you decide that you want to go for something that is of a higher quality or a little bit faster than what you had before.

All of these things really add up. If you have one part of a car that doesnât perform as well, the entire thing will be affected. Therefore you need to choose your parts carefully to have the best remote controlled car possible.

How can I make a bicicle for a little boy who is an amputee?

how to make kids electric cars go faster image

Kate, the

He is 8 years old and was in a horrible car crash a few months ago. I baby-sit him all the time and he is very upset that he can't ride his bike now. I am going to try to turn it into a motorized bike for him, any suggestions on how to do this I would apreciate.

Answer
Buy him a pocketbike. He will be the coolest kid on the streets with one of those. They sell gas which are fast ones for about $300 and electric ones which are a bit slower but still fast for about the same price. Try ebay or check if there is a local store that sells these.

what happens when you run out of gas in the Toyota Camry Hybrid?

bayebd24

So I've always ran outta gas in my cars to see how far they go, but I have kids now and do not want to push it. Does the electric motor turn on when you run out of gas in the Toyota Camry Hyrbid?

Answer
There are two electric motors in a Camry Hybrid, a torque and a counter torque motor. That's because the gas engine, and the two motors are directly connected to the same planetary gear that drives the wheels there are no gears in the traditional sense of transmissions and no shifting of gears. The proportion of which motor is delivering power to the wheels and by what gear ratio is controlled by the respective motors. That means pretty much all of them need to be working or locked (braked) into position for power to go to the wheels. Even when the gas engine is running, the electric motors have to hold their end of the planetary gear from turning or the power doesn't get to the wheels likewise the gas engine has to provide some resistance for the power to go from the electric motors to the wheels, how much the electric motors hold their end with respect to each other controls the gear ratio and the power regeneration, depending on the gear ratio, the gas engine may actually be turning one electric motor to generate electricity so that the other electric motor can run faster so that the gas engine doesn't need to run faster. It's by varying the controls on the two electric motors and the gas engine that they control the effective gear ratios of the Synergy transmission. When the car is running on electricity only, the gas engine is locked down to provide the resistance. It's really a very clever design that GM is planning on copying.

If the control system is smart enough to lock down the gas engine when it's out of gas then the two electric motors could still move the car but if not, they would be cranking the gas engine which is actually how the gas engine gets started. I would suggest that you ask Toyota what happens when you run out of gas or just make sure you have a jerry can of gas with you when you try.
