Thesis

• The new innovations and advances in technology
  have enabled a new generation of hybrid cars to
  both reduce fuel cost and to enable drivers to
  reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced by
  their car (environmental defense).

Automobile in the past

• Some of the major reasons automobiles in the
  past decades caused so many problems was because
  of their large engines and bulky transmissions.
• Some of the major pollution from cars back then
  were nitrogen oxide and volatile organic
  compounds. They are said be the cause of 30 of
  the smog forming, and 60 of the air pollution in
  the world today (enviroalternatives).

Automobiles Before

• Automobiles in the past were mostly used for
  power and major performance. Car manufactures
  usually made vehicles with only two types of
  engines.
• Stirling engine An engine in which work is
  performed by the expansion of a gas at high
  temperature heat for the expansion is supplied
  through the wall of the piston cylinder(wikipedia)
  .
• Steam engine An engine that converts the heat
  energy of pressurized steam into mechanical
  energy, especially one in which steam drives a
  piston in a closed cylinder(wikipedia).

Safety Tips to prevent pollution

• Automobiles are said to be the key to stopping
  global warning (environmental defense).
• Due to every day use, cars are said to account
  for 20 of our nations global warming pollution
  (environmental defense).
• As a result of so much pollution over time deadly
  disease like lung cancer, repertory problems,
  urban smog, and acid rain are caused (bicycle
  universe) .
• Some major safety tips that will help average
  citizens to prevent pollution would be to keep
  oil changed, fuel injection cleaned out and
  changing of all filters monthly.

Hybrid Engines
Courtesy of Wikipedia

• Contain internal combustion engines
• Internal combustion engines are heat engines in
  which the burning of fuel is in a confined place
  called combustion chamber (Wikipedia).
• Four examples are Gas Turbine, Rocket propulsion,
  Rotary engine, and Turbine propulsion.

Hybrids Cars of the future

• Why are hybrid cars said to be the things of the
  futures?
• One because ,there very efficient, lower cost of
  gas over time ,and a major friend to our
  environment.
• Even though they can cost from 2,500 to 3,000
  more than conventional vehicles, they prevent the
  damage of certain unrenewable resources and raw
  materials like Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide,
  Nitrogen oxide and Hydrocarbons (Omninerd).
• No theyre not the answer to all our pollution
  problems, but if a lot more people invested in
  them we would
• have a safer environment.

What I like about Hybrids

• Hybrid are a lot more efficient and can cause
  less pollution to our environment and atmosphere.
• They come with great new incentives such as Gas
  and electric combined motor, electronically
  controlled transmission, CFC air conditioning,
  LCD energy monitor, and some may offer up to
  fifty miles per gallon on the highway.
• As a student a hybrid vehicle may be out of my
  price range, but it will somehow pay for its self
  in the future.

Dislikes about Hybrids

• Smaller engines
• Limited cargo and seating space
• Price premium on these vehicles is prohibitively
  high (Consumerist).
• Reports notes that after five years, the average
  owner of a hybrid has not recouped the premium on
  gasoline savings, and this holds true even if you
  push out the time line to ten years
  (Consumerist).

Regular Cars

• Are not a thing of the past, but just little toys
  that will be brought out on the weekends.
• Hybrid cars are said to be a lot more efficient
  and pollute less, but automobiles from the past
  are still capable for every day use as long as we
  kept the maintenances up and our emissions
  checked (Mobil 1).
