INTRODUCTIONTO

MODERN ALTERNATIVEFUEL VEHICLESAn alternative fuel vehicle is a vehicle that runs on afuel

other than traditional petroleum fuels (Petrol orDiesel).

It also refers to any technology of powering and

engine that

does not involve solely petroleum.

Examples : Electric car, Hybrid electric car, Solar

powered car.

WHAT IS A HYBRID?

The dictionary defines a hybrid as something of mixed

origin.

A hybrid vehicle is one that combines a smaller thannormal internal combustion gasoline engine with the

electric motor of an electric-powered vehicle.


5/27

HOWA HYBRID CAR WORKSRegenerative Braking. The electric motor applies resistance to thedrivetrain causing the wheels to slow down. In return, the energy from the

wheels turns the motor, which functions as a generator, converting energynormally wasted during coasting and braking into electricity, which isstored in a battery until needed by the electric motor.

Electric Motor Drive/Assist. The electric motor provides additional powerto assist the engine in accelerating, passing, or hill climbing. This allows asmaller, more efficient engine to be used. In some vehicles, the motoralone provides power for low-speed driving conditions where internalcombustion engines are least efficient.

Automatic Start/Shutoff. Automatically shuts off the engine when thevehicle comes to a stop and restarts it when the accelerator is pressed.This prevents wasted energy from idling.

WHAT ARE TRIBIDS

Tribrids are the third generation of alternative propulsion

vehicles. Second generation are the bivalent hybrid

vehicles with turbines.

Tribrids are hybrids that obtain additional energy from the

ambient environment (solar panel, windmill or soil).


7/27

HOW DO TRIBRID CARS WORK?

Tribrids work in much the same way as hybrids, except that

some portion of the energy required to power the vehicle

either has been (or is being) taken from the ambient

environment.

A free-energy capturing device, such as a solar panel,

windmill or sail, provides the tribrid vehicle with a source

of power that, if left un-captured, would otherwise simply

be lost to the atmosphere.

T-1000 TRIBRID VEHICLE

Kit Components1 Double reversible Fuel Cell

1 Solar Panel

1 Battery Pack3 AAA Rechargeable Batteries

2 Syringes

124 Piece of Silicon Tubing

1 Set of Banana Plug Cables

2 Hose Clamps

Additional Materials Needed Distilled Water Scissors


9/27

Set up Instructions:

These instructions will guide you the set up and operation ofthe T-1000 Tribrid Vehicle.

Cut the piece of tubing included into two 2 piece and two10 piece, attach the 10 pieces to the syringes and fill one

syringe with distilled water. You will need to hydrate themembrane inside the fuel cell in order to have some water

in the cell for electrolysis.


10/27

Now connect the tubing to the fuel cell as seen in the

image to the left. When placing the fuel cell on the car it is

important that the tubing with the syringes attached is

connected to the fuel cell at its lowest point. Also attach

the banana plug wires, red to red and black to black.


11/27

Slide the fuel cell onto the back of the chassis,

attachthe syringes to the holders on the chassis and

connect

the banana plugs to the lower connection onthe

chassis.


12/27

Insert the battery pack batteries into the battery pack andplace inside the holder on the chassis and connect the

wires to the front connection on the chassis.


13/27

Attach the solar panel on top and connect the wires to the top

connection on the chassis. The T-1000 is now ready to drive in

battery and solar mode and ready to create hydrogen for fuel cell

mode.

Attach all the power sources back to the chassis and chose your

power source . The first switch controls on and off the secondswitch selects your power source.

Soft, Light and Wind Friendly CarVENTILE takes everything we know about cars andthrows it out of the window.

The powertrain starts off innocently enough being agas/electric hybrid but theres a third system a giantfan. Air comes rushing in through the front, spins thefan situated beneath the battery and drives the car.

The Ventile concept vehicle, designed by Thierry Dumaine, is a far-fetched dream machine that harnesses wind power for motivation.

The Ventile, a gas-electric-wind hybrid tribrid (?), makes use of anenormous central fan spun by air rushing underneath the vehicle

to produce electricity required to power the concepts pair of rear-mounted electric motors. Four additional fans, which are actuallypart of the Ventiles unique wheels, send juice to the vehicles on-

board battery.

ADVANTAGES

Fuel efficient - a fuel cell vehicle could

provide twice the fuel efficiency of a comparably

Sized conventional vehicle.

Environment friendly - the only bi-product

formed is water, which is a non-pollutant.


20/27

Highly spacious

As there are no linkages and engine lot of legroom

space is available for the passengers.

Driver friendlyX-Drive can be taken to anywhere inside the car Gives

the driver a clear view of the road and thus increases

the drivability.


21/27

DISADVANTAGES

Storage and transportation of hydrogenfuels production , transportation and storage ofhydrogen for the on board fuel cell stack.

Pricing - With the current status of development,

manufacturing of the Tribrid cars on a mass scale wouldnot at all be economical.


22/27

FUTURE OF TRIBRID

Fuel cells offer a promising alternative

They need to be compelling, affordable,and profitable.

The main challenge is in the field of

storage of hydrogen


23/27

COMPARISION BETWEENHYBRID AND TRIBRID VEHICLES

Hybrids carry two sources of on-board energy . The primaryenergy source is most often some sort of liquid fuel (e.g.gasoline) that will in time be converted into mechanical powervia an engine of some sort.

The second source of energy on board a typical hybrid iselectricity. This electricity is manufactured on-board, mostoften via the turning of a mechanical generator . The resultantelectrical energy is then stored in batteries where it residesuntil supplied to an electric motor.

Tribrids work in much the same way as hybrids, except thatsome form of the stored or generated energy either has been,or is being taken, from the ambient environment. And this isdone by A free-energy capturing device such as a solar panel,windmill.


24/27

CONCLUSION

The Tribrid concept has so profoundly brought

aboutchanges in the automotive industry.

GM and other auto makers are planning tolaunch such

a vehicle for the public usage by the year 2020.
