	Hybrid vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From the 1950s to the 1970s Chrysler created several turbine-powered vehicles, though only small numbers were produced; they had complex drivetrains and achieved relatively slow starting speeds, with effects reminiscent of "turbo lag", but demonstrated that turbines could be used for automobiles (see Chrysler Turbine engines).
		Gas turbine (or other internal combustion engine), steam turbine, and hybrid technology could be combined to alleviate the disadvantages of gas turbines and steam engines while retaining most of their advantages.
		In combined cycle power plants, gas turbines drive generators, and their exhaust is used to generate steam for steam turbines, thus recovering some of the energy from the heat of the exhaust that would otherwise be wasted.

		A gas turbine is a rotary engine that extracts energy from a flow of combustion gas.
		Gas turbines are described thermodynamically by the Brayton cycle, in which air is compressed isentropically, combustion occurs at constant pressure, and expansion over the turbine occurs isentropically back to the starting pressure.
		Simple cycle gas turbines in the power industry require smaller capital investment than combined cycle gas, coal or nuclear plants and can be designed to generate small or large amounts of power.

		Furthermore, the lubrication systems of internal combustion engines are inherently least effective immediately after the engine starts; since it is upon startup that the majority of engine wear occurs, the frequent starting and stopping such systems cause may reduce the lifespan of the engine considerably.
		However, the engines also suffer from poor acceleration due to having a limited rpm range (which, incidently, is one reason it is easy to pass a semitruck on an uphill).
		Steam engines can be much more efficient (and generate less pollution) than internal combustion engines, which is why most of the world's electric power comes from steam turbines heated by fossil fuels or a nuclear heat source.

	WHAT IS A HYBRID VEHICLE?
		When cruising or idling, some of the output of the combustion engine is fed to a generator (sometimes merely the main electric motor running backwards) which generates electricity to charge the batteries.
		The internal-combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle is much smaller, lighter, and more efficient than the one in a conventional vehicle, because the engine can be sized for average power demand rather than peak power demand.
		In the second generation, the internal combustion engine drives the wheels directly with the electric motor serving as a power assist when extra power is needed, and to recapture the kinetic energy usually lost during braking.
