	Gas-electric hybrid engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A gas-electric hybrid engine is a combination of a gasoline/petrol or diesel internal combustion engine with an electric motor to power a vehicle.
		The gas-electric hybrid uses less gasoline than conventional internal combustion engines and does not have the limitations in range that have been a problem for traditional battery electric vehicles.
		This type of piston engine is used in hybrid electric vehicles which have begun to enter the market as of 1999.

	Hybrid vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the intervening period, the widest use of hybrid technology was actually in diesel-electric submarines, which operate in essentially the same manner as hybrid electric cars.
		Like many electric cars, but in contrast to conventional vehicles, braking in a hybrid is controlled in part by the electric motor which can recapture part of the kinetic energy of the car to partially recharge the batteries.
		Electricity from the generator is fed to the motor or motors that actually move the car, and excess energy can be used to charge batteries.

		The internal-combustion engine in a hybrid-electric can be much smaller and lighter, getting far better gas mileage than in a conventional vehicle, because the engine runs at a relatively constant speed, and does not need to provide direct power for acceleration, which is the biggest reason for large engines.
		However, hybrid technology has been in use on railroads ever since the 1930s, when the locomotives on early streamliners ran on gasoline-electric and diesel-electric systems at far greater efficiencies than the steam engines of the day.
		In the second generation, the internal combustion engine drives the wheels directly with the electric motor serves as a power assist when extra power is needed and to recapture the kinetic energy into electric energy during braking.

		Various hybrid concepts are being applied to vehicles, and some "mild" hybrids are not much better than their non-hybrid counterpart.
		Hybrids will never be true zero-emission vehicles, however, because of their internal combustion engine.
		A hybrid's efficiency and emissions depend on the particular combination of subsystems, how these subsystems are integrated into a complete system, and the control strategy that integrates the subsystems.

		The new GM Silverado hybrid is a micro-hybrid.
		The electric motor and the gasoline (or diesel) engine provide different levels of power—Ricardo suggests that a full hybrid electric motor typically provides around 40% of the maximum engine power as additional torque.
		The engine sits behind and provides electricity to the motor that turns the wheels.) The fuel-burning engine drives an alternator that generates electricity that either flows to the electric motor or to a battery for storage.

		Officially, the electric motor isn't able to drive the car itself but provides useful assistance to the gasoline engine during heavy load situations like accelerating.
		The Civic Hybrid's engine won the International Engine of the Year "1 liter to 1.4 liter" size category award for three years straight from 2002 through 2004 as well as the "Best Fuel Economy" category for 2003 and 2004.
		While this new vehicle shares the same displacement as the regular seventh generation Accord V6 powerplant, the engine in the Hybrid is derived from the 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan and can shut off 3 of the 6 cylinders under certain conditions for better fuel economy (a technology that Honda calls Variable Cylinder Management (VCM)).

		The typical vehicle has just an internal combustion engine and four wheels, although as of 2002 gas-electric hybrid engine powered cars have begun to enter the market.
		While a standard automotive engine will run on these fuels, there are some performance differences, notably a loss of power, due to the slower combustion of the alternative fuels.
		Current research and development is centred on "hybrid" vehicles that use both electric and combustion (pollution) power, and longer-term efforts are based around electric vehicles powered by fuel cells.

		The first vehicles were steam engine powered, then electric vehicles were produced by a small number of manufacturers.
		While steam-powered vehicles were devised as the late 18th century, it is generally claimed that the first automobiles with an internal combustion engine, the first modern cars, were completed almost simultaneously in 1886 by German inventors working independently, Gottlieb Daimler on 3 July 1886 in Mannheim and later Karl Benz and Wilhelm Maybach in Stuttgart.
		In many countries, plentiful supplies of natural gas have seen methane sold as compressed natural gas (CNG) and propane sold as liquified petroleum gas (LPG) alongside petrol and diesel fuels since the 1970s.

		As exciting as the new hybrid vehicles are for the environment, not everybody is ready just yet to wait for the often limited supply of hybrids, or to play the slight premium usually associated with them.
		Although the 200-horsepower V6 engine under the hood of my test SUV is a carryover from last year, it has been tuned to improve its throttle response this year, and I found both its off-the-line acceleration and highway cruising performance up to the task.
		Ford made more dramatic changes to the base four cylinder engine, upgrading the old 2.0-liter powerplant to a new 153-horsepower, 2.3-liter engine available with either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual.

	Hybrid Gas/Electric engine - RC Groups
		I was just wondering, if you got a cox.049 and a 540 electric or something, would you be able to make some sort of a hybrid engine, that would be able to deliver the response of an electric, and just have the.049 charging the battery for longer life.
		I'm sure what Bare meant to say was that more power would be derive by having the glow engine drive the model directly, as there are inefficiencies in having it drive a generator.
		I thought that the reason for electric is to not have to get all that stuff on your hands and breath those rotten fumes and get laughed at because your plane won't start no matter how hard you spin the prop.
