This IPRO is a continuation of the work of the IPRO 314, which is focusing on improving the efficiency of gasoline and hybrid vehicles through the use of ultra capacitors. The goal is to actually develop a hybrid electric vehicle with ultra capacitor augmentation. The need to improve the efficiency for vehicles using internal combustion engines is critical in order to reduce oil consumption and pollution in United States. Hybrid vehicles (e.g., those that use a combination of gas and electric power) also need to reduce cost and improve battery efficiency. The use of ultra capacitor technology in conjunction with electric generators and motors can assist in powering electrical equipment, braking operations, and charging batteries. This hands-on project will afford students the opportunity to research an apply concepts of mechanical, electrical, power, computer, economics, environmental, and materials engineering to hybrid vehicle technology Submitted by Dhaval Doshi (ddoshi4@iit.edu) on 2011-07-11T21:46:59Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Hybrid Cars with Ultra Capacitor Augmentation IPRO314 Spring2003 Final Presentation.pdf: 1440707 bytes, checksum: bb2dab72e0dd5963d95ab1f27d9f148c (MD5) Made available in DSpace on 2011-07-11T21:46:59Z (GMT).
