What are the three power units in a hybrid electric vehicle?

The petrol engine, the electric motor, the batteries, and regenerative breaking.


How were hybrid cars invented?

The first hybrid gasoline-electric car was invented in 1899.Regenerative breaking hybrid car was invented in 1978.


Does the Prius use regenerative breaking?

Yes. Energy generated during regenerative braking recharges the traction battery and is later used to power the car. The Prius also has friction brakes (disk/drum), which are used at very low speeds or for hard braking. And it's braking, not breaking.


What type of vehicle uses regenerative braking?

Hybrid or Electric


Where you use regenrative braking?

Usually, when you break, your speed gets turned into heat on your break pads. This is waste. With regenerative breaking when you hit the breaks and your unwanted momentum gets converted into electricity. It works best for electric cars, but you could transfer the energy into a flywheel and use in traditional petrol cars too.


What is a regenerative variable frequency drive?

Its is a type of Variable frequency drive which uses concept of dynamic braking to generate a feeding back power , once the brakes are applied to a electric motor , the energy is usually dissipated as heat inside the electric motor in all the regular VFD's but instead this Regenerative unit passes on this energy into a resistor , from which it is converted into electricity, which is of fen fed back to the system , resulting huge power saving , but this also depends on the load and the number of time brakes are used in an application , this is of fen called in different names like Regenerative AC drives, Regenerative VFD'S (in short form) f


How Regenerative Braking Works?

As the brakes are applied in an electric vehicle, the motor is used in reverse (I.E. an electric generator) to recharge the battery from the kinetic energy of the vehicle. The greater the load on the generator, the greater the emf force which opposes the generators turning.


Would it speed up an electric car by adding an alternator that adds extra current directly to the motor or would it use more energy than it makes?

They do use alternator's to power electric vehicles. It called regenerative braking, the alternators lie on each of the wheels.


Does air driven cars have heat?

The car can be powered solely by air, or combined (as in a hybrid electric vehicle) with gasoline/diesel/ethanol or electric plant and regenerative braking.


What has the author Kenneth A Burke written?

Kenneth A. Burke has written: 'High energy density regenerative fuel cell systems for terrestrial applications' -- subject(s): Solar powered aircraft, Regenerative fuel cells, Energy storage, Payloads, Flux density


How are hybrids improving fuel efficiency?

Approximately 6% of the total energy in the gasoline in a standard car is wasted as heat in breaking. Most of this can be captured in regenerative breaking and stored in a battery to help accelerate the car later.A smaller less powerful more fuel efficient engine can be used.Also it is possible to save fuel by not idling when stopped.


Breif answer on what is electric energy?

Electric Energy is the energy of the Universe. All energy is electric energy. Gravitational Energy is electric in the sense that matter is held together by electric energy. Briefly, Electric energy is E= - q1q2 zc/r where q is the electric charge, z is the free space resistance and c is the speed of light.
