The Evolution of Hybrid Technology
====Hybrid technology makes two very important points: we did not realize the impact our innovations had on our unique ecosystem, but the inventors of the hybrid vehicle technology did. The revolutionizing of the way the car engine operates has significantly improved our world, even if we do not notice. By reducing the demand of oil in operating machines such as our motor vehicle, we take the pressure off the shoulders of not only the oil companies to supply the gas, but the government who makes arrangements to supply the oil companies with the source to draw fuel from. We assist the future generation in finding a ‘greener’ way to generate energy. By definition of the operation, the Hybrid technology is the process which utilizes two (or more) distinct power sources in order to generate power to move a machine- in this case a car (Wikipedia). The most common type of[| hybrid vehicle] is called the ‘[|Full Hybrid].’ “[A Full Hybrid] is a vehicle that can run on just the engine, just the battery, or a combination of both” (Wikipedia). The other types of Hybrids include: Mild-Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicle (Wikipedia). Although there are many different names, the engine technology has the same goal at the core- to reduce harmful chemicals being produced or over used. That being said, [|smog] is a major ecological challenge being faced all over the world. The engineers of the Hybrid technology developed their engine with this challenge in mind. The inventors developed special battery storage ability in the cars as well, which has the capability of storing and reusing recaptured energy. Think how many times you have to step on the brake pedal during a morning commute. It is this very situation that inspired the use of stop-and-go traffic as a source of ‘fuel’ for the car. Couple the above mentioned challenges with the rising price of the [|barrel of oil], and it is safe to conclude that it is crucial that we do absolutely everything in our power to not just use less oil, but by preserving the world's delicate ecosystem and saving precious resources for future generations. ====
