Hybrid cars with 250 miles per gallon of fuel consumption

Is it possible to get 250 mpg mileage with hybrid cars? Yes, the Bellevue automobile visionaries think so. People who own Toyota Prius and Honda hybrid cars are looking at 40 to 50 mpg and then how one automaker claims to have technology that can deliver this high mileage. What technology are they using? Let’s try to look at the answers to these questions.

The 20-member team at AFS Trinity Power Corp claims to make this possible with their plug-in hybrid car. On the technology front, they are going to use the flywheel to create and store energy. Conventional cars use a gasoline engine to power the vehicle, while hybrid cars use a gasoline engine with battery support. However, the claimed car will use a gasoline engine, flywheel battery source, or capacitor. The power load is switched between these sources as per the requirement.

The steering wheel will help the car in two ways, that is, firstly, it will help the car at the time of acceleration, and secondly, it will absorb the power that is wasted when braking. It will also help the car use fewer and lighter batteries. This will collectively help reduce the overall weight of the car. The flywheel or condenser is said to absorb energy efficiently and quickly.

In the future, the gasoline engine could also be replaced by more fuel-efficient hydrogen fuel cells. These cars are estimated to cost $3 to $7 for gas and $4 for electricity per week, which is much lower than $14 for hybrid cars and $36 for conventional cars.

With the environment degrading every day and fuel running out even faster, this kind of technology could help stabilize the situation to a great extent. Let’s see if the dreams of Bellevue’s automotive visionaries come true. Think of a situation where oil imports from the Middle East stop for some reason.
