A self manufacturing Hybrid Electric Vehicle using magnetic clutch

A growing exhaustion of natural oil resources, along with a heightened concern about the oil price, has LED to research alternative energy source for automotive vehicles. One of these alternatives is Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). An HEV is a hybrid vehicle that uses two or more distinct power sources to move; generally an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors. The rate of fuel consumption is lower than a conventional vehicle due to control the motor and the engine at the optimum efficiency. So, the interest about HEVs is becoming high. This paper presents design and manufacture of a self-made HEV. The structure of hybrid system of the developed HEV is presented in details. And proposed the basic hybrid control system based on test results.
