Default Hybrid Cars with 250 MPG Fuel Mileage


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....
