| Summary: | The main focused of this study is to
develop a fuel efficient and zero tail pipe
emission hybrid engine to operate the
designed and developed Urban car of
weight 1.42 kN. The hybrid engine is
developed by coupling a high efficient
12 volt generator with a 33.5 cc engine
of power 1.18 kW @7000 rpm. The
generator is activated from the battery
power before start the engine in order to
turn the armature into an electromagnet.
Once start the engine, the battery is
disconnected from the generator. The
generator starts to power the DC motor
to propel the car as soon as started the
engine. The engine optimum speed is
considered to be 4000 rpm to operate the
generator to power the DC motor for
propelling the car on 0% slope. While, it
is operated at 6000 rpm to power the
vehicle on 33% slope. Two supercapacitors
each of 2 Farad are equipped
in parallel with the generator in order to
maintain the constant power supply to
the DC motors for propelling the car
with speed of 35 km/h. The hybrid
engine was run at 65% efficiency which
is 118% more than the conventional IC
engine.
