electric cars (Nick D'Angelo) Hybrid Vehicles "A hybrid vehicle contains parts of both gasoline and electric vehicles in an attempt to get the best of both worlds. The best way to understand the advantages of a hybrid vehicle is to think about a car traveling down a highway at the posted speed on level ground. In this case, the engine is doing three things:
 * 1) It is **overcoming rolling resistance** in the drive train.
 * 2) It is **overcoming air resistance**.
 * 3) It is **powering accessories** like the alternator, the power steering pump and the air conditioner" (How does a hybrid car work?).

"One of the most recognized Hybrids on the road, the Toyota Prius is designed for fuel efficiency and ultra low emissions. Take a look under the hood of the Prius in the next picture" (How does a hybrid car work?). "The Toyota Prius uses Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive technology. The next hybrid is known as the Kluger outside of North America. Find out what it is called in America" (How does a hybrid car work?).

"The Toyota Highlander is available as a hybrid model which gets about 21-mpg EPA city and 31-mpg EPA highway. What was the first luxury car offered as a hybrid model? See the next page to find out" (How does a hybrid car work?). "The Lexus GS 450h was one of the first luxury hybrids available to the public. Lexus has added another model to their hybrid line-up" (How does a hybrid car work?). "Luxurious, roomy, comfortable, and fuel efficient perfectly describe the Lexus RX400h. The next hybrid car is from another Japanese automaker" (how does a hybrid car work?). "The Honda Accord was available as a hybrid from 2005 to 2007. The next car, however, is still available from Honda" (How does a hybrid car work?). "The Honda Civic Hybrid looks just like a regular Civic, but has better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Check out Ford's first hybrid next" (How does a hybrid car work?). "The Ford Escape was the first hybrid sport utility vehicle on the market. Take a look inside the Ford Escape next" (How does a hybrid car work?). "The Ford Escape has a full hybrid electric system which means it can be driven on either pure electric power alone or pure gasoline power. What hybrid can get over 330-mpg? See the next page to find out" (How does a hybrid car work?). "Holy hybrid/electric car, Batman! Is a 330-mpg car really possible? The Aptera is quite capable. See the different parts of a hybrid car in the next picture" (How does a hybrid car work?). "Hybrid cars usually have a front engine and rear battery pack. The battery packs are used to store energy that is lost through braking and decelerating. Check out plug-in hybrids next" (How does a hybrid car work?). "The Ford Edge hybrid is a plug-in hybrid that is capable of achieving 41-mpg. Take a look at Chevrolet's concept plug-in hybrid vehicle next" (How does a hybrid car work?).

"Plug-in hybrids such as the Chevrolet Volt use the electric motor as the primary power source. The gasoline engine is used only to aid in battery recharging. Check out our Plug-in Hybrid Image Gallery or read up on How Hybrid Cars Work" (How does a hybrid car work?).

media type="youtube" key="2HrQeGzIZoI" height="344" width="425" This video shows the concept of the hybrid vehicle. It hows how the energy is used and how the gasoline is used.

Hybrid vehicles are trying to lower carbon emmisions in the atmosphere. Using a Hybrid engine will lower the emmisions sent into the atmospher a lot. As seen in the video, the engine does not only use a gasoline engine. It also uses a generator, battery, and electic engine.

Hybrid vehicles are always useful. Any time the atmosphere has less carbon in it, it is a good thing. Since the hybrid vehicle uses other ways to feul the vehicle than gasoline, it does not use as much gasoline as a regular car. Since it uses less gasoline, less carbon emmisions will be ejected into the atmosphere.

Hybrid vehicles relate to the carbon cycle the most. These hybrid vehicles use less gasoline than other vehicles. Since they use less gasoline, less carbon emmisions will be ejected into the atmosphere.

Hybrid vehicles are a viable solution to protect the atmosphere because they emmit less carbon into the atmosphere than regular vehicles. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it is being trapped in the atmosphere. Greehouse gasses are very harmful to the atmosphere. Since deforestation is a constant problem within our world, we need to emmit less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The vehicles are emmiting less carbon into the atmosphere.

I do not think there are any negative afftects it could have on the the envirnment.
