![]() Is it possible to have 250-mpg mileage with hybrid cars? Yes, Bellevue auto visionaries' thinks so. The people owning Toyota Prius and Honda hybrid cars are eyeing for an mpg of 40 to 50 then how a automaker claims to have technology that can give this high mileage. What technology they are using? Let us try to look at answers of these questions. 20 member team at AFS Trinity Power Corp claims to make this possible with their plug in hybrid car. On technology front, they are going to use flywheel to create and store power. Conventional cars use gasoline engine to power the vehicle whereas hybrid cars use gasoline engine with battery support. However, the claimed car will use gasoline engine, battery source with flywheel or a capacitor. The power load is shifted among these sources according to the requirement. The flywheel will help the car in two ways i.e firstly it will help the car in the time of acceleration and secondly it will absorb the power which is being wasted while braking. It will also help the car to use lesser number and lighter batteries. This will collectively help to reduce the overall weight of the car. Flywheel or capacitor is said to absorb power efficiently and quickly.... http://groups.google.com/group/waterforfueld |

Let us try to look at answers of these questions. That is a BS claim. If you are not burning gas, then you are not running in a mode where miles per gallon makes any sense. Please be honest when you state these claims, and say that X miles comes from battery, and Y miles comes from gasoline at Z miles per gallon. -john- -- ================================================== ==================== John A.

Not sure about these claims. What kind of car first? Weight/size. Hybrid
technology has only one way to conserve the energy. It's sending the energy of breaking into some kind of storage. Battery/flywheel/capacitor. It's still leaves aerodynamic drag and friction. Also efficiency of energy storage/conversion is under question. On a flat straight segment of highway under same condition hybrid car should use the same amount of gas as any other car. Or likely even more, considering the losses in mechanical-electric-mechanical conversion. Especially considering that hybrid will have to carry great weight of the batteries and other extra equipment. |

I can do 200 empg without giving up interior space or performance, as well as without using a conventional battery method of stored energy, and it's also without contributing NOx. .. - Brad Guth |
