Introduction
Cars are immensely
complicated machines, but
when you get down to it,
they do an incredibly simple
job. Most of the complex
stuff in a car is dedicated to
turning wheels, which grip
the road to pull the car body
and passengers along.
In this ,we'll look at one interesting vision of
the future, General Motor's remarkable concept car, the Hywire.
HY-WIRE BASICS
Power
The "Hy" in Hy-wire stands for hydrogen, the
standard fuel for a fuel cell system.
Like batteries, fuel cells have a negatively
charged terminal and a positively charged
terminal that propel electrical charge through
a circuit connected to each end. They are
also similar to batteries in that they generate
electricity from a chemical reaction.
But unlike a battery, we can continuous
recharge a fuel cell by adding chemical fuel -in this case, hydrogen from an onboard
storage
tank
and
oxygen
from
the
atmosphere.

Control

Hy-wire Specifications
Advantages
In Hy- wire car the central
computer will be able to monitor
driver input which will make it
much safer.
This car can resolve the major
fuel problems and safety issues.
This is eco-friendly car.
Disadvantages
This car does not have any physical
connection between the driver and the cars
mechanical component, so the electrical
failure would mean total loss of control.
The production of the hydrogen which is
used as fuel in the Hy-wire car can generate
about as much pollution as using gasoline
engines and
storage and distribution
systems still have a long way to go.
Conclusion
It fully intends to release a
production version of the car in 2010,
assuming it can resolve the major fuel
and safety issues. But even if the Hywire team doesn't meet this goal.
Automakers are definitely planning to
move beyond the conventional car
sometime soon, toward a computerized,
environmentally friendly alternative. In
all likelihood, life on the highway will see
some major changes within the next few
decades.
