Humanity is looking for greener and more efficient transportation for fighting the global issues. Keeping this in mind, my Team ThunderBolt ( ) set out to design and fabricate a two seater hybrid trike, run on human-cum-battery power. It is highly engineered, safe and ergonomically designed, commercially viable as a product attractive to the consumers.
As a result of a number of factors, our energy options are becoming more limited. Nuclear power’s prospects are uncertain, as complicated by cost and safety concerns, while fossil fuel faces mounting environmental concerns. Renewable energy is not capable of meeting all our energy needs.
An emerging advancement may alter our future energy path.
This hydromechanical automatic transmission provides hydraulic regenerative braking for cars, trucks and buses with an approx. 40% improvement in mpg at a total vehicle cost less than the equivalent conventional vehicle. It provides 60 separate forward gear ratios (approaching continuously variable).
It consists of 8 fixed displacement hydraulic pump/motors,
