News on hybrid vehicles, fuel cell cars, and the future of automobiles

I have to do a rough draft for a chemistry project and I have had no luck finding information so far. My topic is to explain the chemical reactions that occur in both a hybrid car and a regular car in order to compare them. If you know anything, please help. Websites and online sources would be appreciated.

Gasoline combines rapidly with Oxygen in a heat (spark) induced explosion in a basic car engine. Toxic gases are the chemical output, including carbon monoxide. When combined with a electric motors that recharge from braking action, no chemical processes are involved, just electro mechanical. This is the Toyota Prius method. Using hydrogen fuel cells is another matter. When hydrogen and oxygen are combined to produce energy, the "exhaust" is non-toxic water.

What’s the difference in the prices of both drives?
If you have any links of information about Peugeot 308 particularly, or in general…

Roughly 3500 bucks, it takes about 7 years to recover the cost in gasoline savings.

i want it to read codes and clear troubleshooting and to show any malfunction

How much are you willing to spend? Because it’s $500 to $5000 depending on how professional you want to be.

pls give me website address of some

just type it in on the net..but just a little insight for you. While you’re putting less chemicals into the ozone, the only thing you really think about is what’s coming out of your poket to do so. Yeah you wont spend as much on gas, but think about what you’re going to pay when you have to replace that battery. I was watching the news on this once….$2-4,000 for the replacement. That’s equivalent to how much you would have been spending on gas.

i am doing mech. engg. in india (maharastra) .so, now i am making the paper on hybrid car . so sir/mam please send sum important information about hybride car. please help me.

Electric cars are limited in the distance you can go with them. They also need to be recharged at electric charging stations, which takes time. hybrid cars are much better, as their only fuel is gasoline, and they never need to be recharged. They get very good gas mileage, and they are not much more expensive than regular cars. The Toyota Prius baseline model is about $23,000. Visit Toyota’s website for more information.

Also, at the top of the page, hover your mouse over the "hybrids" tab, and click on "explore." This will give you information on the hybrid synergy drive. Good luck!

If possible, can you also provide me information about the career fields?

That would be engineering. In particular the specific fields would be electrical and mechanical engineering. Obviously with mechanical engineering you’d be studying how the various parts of the car work physically, while with electrical you’d be studying the electrical systems.

I would guess that electrical engineering would be the most relevant field if you want to learn about hybrids.
