i love hybrid vehicle, A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine to drive an electric generator
Interesting so it's like an electric car with a combustion engine? never heard of one of those.
yes,  trains using diesel engines to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, and submarines that use diesels
Fascinating so I guess these vehicles use less power and are more environmentally friendly?
yes they are friendly In 1995 Thomas Muller designed and built a "Fahrrad mit elektromagnetischem Antrieb" fo
As early as that, I thought it would have been a really new invention, electric alone is not powerful enough to drive big heavy trains I guess.
yes, he built it for his diploma thesis
Where does Muller come from, is it a European invention?
Dan Muller
Dan Muller aka Daniel Cody Muller (1889–1976), artist, illustrator and writer of the American West; Muller was born in Choteau, Montana, October 11, 1889 to Carl and Augusta Muller.
Muller's early years are known only from the artist's own recollections of them. In one of his five published books, "My Life with Buffalo Bill" the artist alleges that his father, who was allegedly one quarter Piegan Blackfoot, was killed by a horse when Muller was nine years old,
Hybrid vehicle
A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, e.g. in diesel-electric trains using diesel engines to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, and submarines that use diesels when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
The basic principle with hybrid vehicles is that the different motors work better at different speeds; the electric motor is more efficient at
