Hybrid driving Gasoline engine - The hybrid car has a gasoline engine much like the one you will find on most cars. However, the engine on a hybrid is smaller and uses advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. Fuel tank - The fuel tank in a hybrid is the energy storage device for the gasoline engine. Gasoline has a much higher energy density than batteries do. For example, it takes about 1,000 pounds of batteries to store as much energy as 1 gallon (7 pounds) of gasoline. Electric motor - The electric motor on a hybrid car is very sophisticated. Advanced electronics allow it to act as a motor as well as a generator. For example, when it needs to, it can draw energy from the batteries to accelerate the car. But acting as a generator, it can slow the car down and return energy to the batteries. Generator - The generator is similar to an electric motor, but it acts only to produce electrical power. It is used mostly on series hybrids. Batteries - The batteries in a hybrid car are the energy storage device for the electric motor. Unlike the gasoline in the fuel tank, which can only power the gasoline engine, the electric motor on a hybrid car can put energy into the batteries as well as draw energy from them. Transmission - The transmission on a hybrid car performs the same basic function as the transmission on a conventional car. Some hybrids, like the Honda Insight, have conventional transmissions. Others, like the Toyota Prius, have radically different ones. A. Tungler BUTE
Fuel cells The principle operation of a fuel cell is comparable to that of a battery. In contrast to batteries — where the chemical energy is stored in substances inside the battery — fuel cells are just converting systems, the reagents have to be supplied continuously to the fuel cell in order to obtain electricity. Thus, fuel cells are systems which convert chemical energy directly into electricity in an invariant electrochemical set-up. A. Tungler BUTE
Comparison between the two conversion routes of fossil fuel into electric energy. The chemical energy of the fuel is directly converted into electrical energy by fuel cells, in conventional systems the chemical energy of the fuels is converted first into thermal energy, than in mechanical energy and finally into electrical energy.In the reformer hydrocarbons or methanol are converted to CO and H2, according to A.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell: the membrane – electrode assembly (MEA) consists of the Nafion membrane with the electrocatalyst on the surface in contact with porous carbon electrodes. Each MEA is mounted between two gas manifolds in an electrical insulating MEA frame and it is separated by an interconnector plate from the adjacent MEAs. A. Tungler BUTE
