ELECTRICAL CAR (MONSTER 800) MONSTER 800 INTRODUCTION Our aim or goal was to make a car which can run without consumption of any kind of fuel that is Petrol or Diesel that is basically to prepare a Hybrid car. Hybrid basically means a creature or machine combining body parts of two or more species. A hybrid vehicle is a vehicle using more than one power source or an engine sourced from a different chassis. The key benefit of Full Hybrid cars is that they generate significantly less air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions than other vehicles. That means they are better for the environment. Hybrid Electric vehicle Hybrid Electric vehicle is a vehicle which uses both internal combustion and electric power sources. The presence of the electric power train is intended to achieve either better fuel economy than a conventional vehicle or better performance or better performance.
Basically a hybrid car or hybrid electric vehicle is a vehicle which relies not only on batteries but also on an internal combustion engine which drives a generator to provide the electricity and may also drive the wheel directly.
FULL HYBRID Full hybrid sometimes also called a strong hybrid, is a vehicle that can run on just the engine, just the batteries, or a combination of both. The term most commonly refers to hybrid electrical vehicle (HEVs), which combine an internal combustion engine and one or more electrical motor. As an example for hybrid,a mo-ped (a motorized pedal bike) is a type of hybrid because it combines the power of a gasoline engine with the pedal power of its rider, most of the locomotives we see pulling trains are diesel-electric hybrids. 1.

OVERVIEW OF WORK 1. Making a left hand driven car:- Cars in India are right hand drive. We have added an extra feature to our car by making it a left hand drive car which makes it quite different from other cars. opened the Dashboard and kept it on one side then we removed the front Bonnet for easy work flow. Then we removed the steering wheel. Now the actual work starts. Now we went down where race pedal, clutch and brake pedal are placed gets connected to the engine. We unscrewed all these pedals and kept this aside. Now it was time to remove the steering rod. After removing all the assembly we kept it at some safe place and then went to other side that is front left hand side.
There we made 3 holes with a cutter and the holes were of size similar to size of those pedals so that we can place all the right hand side pedals here. We also made one hole from where we passed the steering rod. Basically this steering rod goes and connects with the axle so earlier when it was right hand driven there were all these rods present, we changes the position of this rod towards right hand side. Then here we got a problem as we made it towards left so one of rod went small, so here we made a nut joint by adding a rod in between. This rod goes and gets connected to a pinion teeth which were towards right. We used the same but then we got a problem, whenever we use to turn our steering right the tyres were turning left that is motion was opposite it was due to this the movement of rod around teeth so to our come this we made a new piece of this which was consisting of straight teeth. This time it was perfect. The motion of handle was same as that of tyres. Left Hand Drive OVERVIEW OF WORK continued.. Mirror roof :- To make our car look different we decided to place a mirror roof on place of simple roof. For that we used a cutter to cut the whole roof, but before cutting we put a margin of 1.5 inch all around the roof. This wide plate of roof was left because it will be acting as a place where we will be placing our mirror. By using cutter we got the required piece. Now it was time to place a mirror. Here we got a difficulty as to place which mirror because if we will be placing a simple mirror it can be easily broke. So we took the help of internet and fount the one of the hardest mirror which is toughen so we went and order to make a glass of 47.5 inch from side and 48.5 inch from centre that is to make it little curved with a width of 34.5 inch. After our glass was ready we brought it to our service place and installed this mirror our the roof of our car with the help of Celent. Then we allowed the celent to dry for 1 night
Mirror roof We have removed the shocker suspension and replaced it with Leaf spring suspension for better and comfortable drive. Leaf Spring Suspension OVERVIEW OF WORK continued.. Attaching a differential :- A differential gear is an arrangement of beveled gears in such a manner such that the input torsion is taken up by a ring gear and distributed equally through two planetary gears to the side gears which drive the shafts on either side. While following a curved path, the inner wheel covers a shorter distance than the outer wheel. By using the differential gear system, torque is split by the differential gears into two components such that the outer wheel spins at greater angular momentum than the inner wheel. This eliminates slippage of the wheels and strain on the axle Differential 4 x 4 system This car possesses 4x4 feature which makes it totally different We have the control to use the front wheel or to make it rear wheel drive.
OVERVIEW OF WORK continued.. Attaching a motor :- We have couple the differential with a motor. Here we are using a DC motor of 4 HP with a diameter of 7 inch and require 24 volt to operate. We have welded this motor with the differential so that it can be coupled easily. To control the speed of motor we have used a clutch whose function is to stop converting the rotatory motion of motor in translatory motion of the vehicle. It makes the motor just spin but does not allow the car to move from its place. As we press the lever down that is release the clutch the rotatory motion of motor is being converted into translatory motion that is car start moving forward.
Motor
Calculations TO calculate the size of motor P=2NT/60 --------------------------------------------- 1 Where N= number of rotation of wheel in rpm T=torque Now We know that U= D N / 60 That is N=60 x U / x D -------------------------------------------- 2 D here is diameter of wheel rim that is 30 cm=0.3 m U here is the speed which we have supposed to be 60km/hr=60 x 1000/3600 m/sec= 16.66 m/sec= U
Also T=Force x R ----------------------------------------------- 3
Force here is F= m x g M here is mass which we have supposed to be 800 kg G= acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/sec^2 R= radius of motor= 3.3 cm= 3.3/100 m= 0.033m Now let us calculate the size of motor required.
Power for running Motor(r) Power to derive motor is been given by 3 sources which are as follows:- Through electricity Through wind energy that is through air Through Alternator Through Electricity(r) to run our motor we are using 2 batteries eac of 12 volt. We have connected them in series as we require 24 volts. These batteries give 180 ampere of current. Now to charge these batteries we are using three system first is through electricity. We have connected the batteries with an Inverter which we are using to charge the batteries. When ever our car is not in use we can connect it to normal electric supply and charge the batteries. The charging socket is been given on the left hand side of the rear bumper. Through Alternator(r)
An alternator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current. Most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature but occasionally, a rotating armature is used with a stationary magnetic field; or a linear alternator is used. In principle, any AC electrical generator can be called an alternator, but usually the term refers to small rotating machines driven by automotive and other internal combustion engines. An alternator that uses a permanent magnet for its magnetic field is called amagneto.
Alternators are used in modern automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running Similarly we have used alternator of 60 amp which is charging our batteries when we are running our car on engine.
AC Power Output(r) Our car has a special feature that it supplies 220 volt of AC current which we can use for house hold purpose or during time of emergency. For this feature we have taken connection from inverter and we have placed a socket on the rear left hand side bumper. This socket supplies direct 220 volt which can be used for any purpose. This current is always available, it doesn't matter whether we are charging the batteries or not.
Through Wind energy(K) To charge our car batteries we have used the wind that is the air as second power source. We have used the concept of Windmill. For this we have attached two fans with 5 blades on each on the front bumpers, when these fans rotates, they start producing current because we know when ever coil rotates between permanent magnet it produces current. In this manner the current is being produced. This current we are using to charge our batteries. To stop the back flow of current we have used a Zenier diode. The fans start rotating as soon as the car crosses the speed of 30 KM/Hr. Scope of the project(K) The main scope of our project was to make a car which can solve the problem of fuel as the fuel prices are rising day by day and also it is limited plus the gases it release is dangerous to environment. So basically to make a car which is highly economical or has high efficiency and is eco-friendly that is does not have any harm to the environment. Through this project we can also have knowledge about the engine and its working practically and the condition and working of a Hybrid car. This car has so many plus points and it is also so cheap that it is easily affordable if it comes to the market. Also this is eco-friendly vehicle. Gives AC power supply Works without fuel Have a 4x4 system
Advantages it offers(v) Conclusion(o) HYBRID CAR: -The hybrid car that we have made uses both internal combustion and electric power source. This car of ours can solve environmental pollution problem as this car is an eco friendly car. 4x4 function: - Our car has power in its all the 4 wheels i.e., it is basically a 4x4 car. Left hand drive:- Our car is a left hand drive car.
AC Source :- Our car also has a feature to supply AC power to any household thing or anything which works on AC power source like fan, light etc. Mirror roof :- At place of simple ordinary roof, we have added a mirror roof which makes it quite different from others.
