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 article, we'll look at one interesting
vision of the future, General Motor's remarkable concept car,
the Hy-wire.
HY-WIRE BASICS
• The motor controller boosts this up to 250 to 380 volts and converts it
to AC current to drive the three-phase electric motor that rotates
the wheels (this is similar to the system used in conventional
electric cars).
Control
• The Hy-wire's "brain" is a central computer
housed in the middle of the chassis. It sends
electronic signals to the motor control unit to
vary the speed, the steering mechanism to
maneuver the car, and the braking system to
slow the car down.
• The computer connects to the body's electronics
through a single universal docking port.
• The driver's control unit, dubbed the X-drive, is
a lot closer to a video game controller than a
conventional steering wheel and pedal
arrangement. The controller has two ergonomic
grips, positioned to the left and right of a small
LCD monitor
