generator when battery power gets too low.
The hybrid's IMA system utilizes an

Directly coupling the wheels to the
gas engine makes the Volt more efficient than having the

electric motor.
«When there's no more
electric juice, a small 1.4 - L

generator kicks in, powering the vehicle for up to 500 km,» says Petrina Gentile.
Why do you ignore
gas turbine
generators powered by hydrogen to recover the energy stored in the hydrogen and convert it to
electric power?
While we wait for battery and hypercapacitor breakthroughs to allow us to go 100 %
electric and ditch internal combustion engines, series plug - in hybrids (
electric motors turn the wheels and a
gas generator kicks in when
With a methane economy we could heat and cool our homes, produce
electric power at home using a small
gas turbine
generator, and fuel our vehicles all from our own home tank at far lower cost than using gasoline.
Of the country's 6,000 coal, oil, natural
gas, nuclear, wind, and solar
electric - generating facilities, a small sub-group of mostly coal - fired power
generators produces more than its share of the nation's carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions compared with the electricity it produces, the report found.
At the end of 2010, natural
gas - fired
generators constituted 39 % of the Nation's total
electric generation capacity of 1,042 gigawatts (GW).
DERs can include solar panels, combined heat and power plants, electricity storage, small natural
gas - fuelled
generators,
electric vehicles and controllable loads, such as HVAC systems and
electric water heaters.
During 2012, particularly in the spring and early summer, low natural
gas prices led to competition between natural
gas - and coal - fired
electric power
generators.
The decline in natural
gas use for
electric generation indicates that even existing
gas pipelines may operate under capacity and that ANE — or other new pipeline infrastructure — will not be needed to supply either
electric generators or
gas heating customers.
With warmer summer weather and increased
electric demand for air conditioning, demand will increase, requiring increased output from both coal - and natural
gas - fired
generators.
Replace them with four Protean 75kW in hub
electric motors with a linear
generators and a
gas bottle in the front, a computer driving and braking each wheel independently and a couple of banks of batteries in steel casings either side of the central cylinder — and you have the makings of a very nice 300kW (400hp) vehicle.
The winter of 2012 - 13 saw spikes in wholesale electricity prices in New England and New York as demand for natural
gas from both
electric generators and natural
gas distribution companies taxed the capacity to bring natural
gas into these markets.
But when winter hits hard, residential users have preference for pipeline
gas, and
electric generators are last in line.
