Hybrid Hydraulic Car

Why

• Hydraulics allow for a simple drive train with hydraulic hoses
• Integrates well with Power Cube and rest of GVCS ecology
• Peak power of an extra 10kW can be attained readily for 100 lb of weight and $500 cost
• See Hybrid Hydraulic System
• Can be paralleled readily for extra power, not messy transmission complexities

Why Not

• 70% efficient (85% squared)

Calculations or HHV

• 750 lb weight (100 lb more than the VW L1)
• 16 hp gas engine

Battery Boost

• Use battery for cold cranking amps to get 1 minute of power for passing
• With 25A for 240 minutes - [1] - or 100A for 1 hour best. At high crank, we can get 1000A for 6 minutes. Safe to do 1000A for 1 minute. Can possible use a smaller battery - but this
