Glossary H

Hybrid vehicle refers to a vehicle that has two or more sources of energy. There are two types of hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs), series and parallel. In a series hybrid, all of the vehicle power is provided from one source. For example, with an internal-combustion/electric series hybrid, the electric motor drives the vehicle from the battery pack and the internal-combustion engine powers a generator that charges the battery. In a parallel hybrid, power is delivered through both paths. In an internal-combustion/electric parallel hybrid, both the electric motor and the internal-combustion engine power the vehicle.

Hygrometer refers to an instrument which measures the water vapor content in the atmosphere ; there are several different means of transduction used in measuring this quantity and hence various types of hygrometers; these are: a) the psychrometer, which utilizes the thermodynamic method; b) the class of instruments which depends upon a change of physical dimension due to absorption of moisture (hair hygrometer, for example); c) those which depend upon condensation of moisture (dew point hygrometer); d) the class of instruments which depend upon the change of chemical or electrical properties due to absorption of moisture, and some others.

Hypoid gear is driven by a worm-like drive on non-intersecting axes, and has a specially formed teeth on a circular face . It is driven by a worm-like drive on non-intersecting axes.They are similar to bevel gears. Hypoid gears can be anti-backlash, which mean that they have an assist, typically one or more springs, which eliminate backlash in the gear mesh.
