(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In biology, hybrid has two meanings. The first meaning is either the offspring of two different species, or of two different genera. The second meaning of "hybrid" is crosses between populations or cultivars ("cultivated varieties") of a single species. This second meaning is often used in plant breeding. Hybrids between species of the same genus are sometimes known as interspecific hybrids or crosses. Hybrids between different genera are sometimes known as intergeneric hybrids.
Ernst Mayr wrote of Gregor Mendel, "He was uncertain about the nature of the kinds of peas he crossed, and, like most plant breeders, he called heterozygotes "hybrids." When he tried to confirm the laws he had found by using "other hybrids" that were actually real species hybrids, he failed. The use of the same term "hybrid" for two entirely different biological phenomena thwarted his later efforts." (This is Biology, 1997, p58f).
Plant hybrids, especially, may or may not be stronger than either parent variety, a phenomenon which when present is known as hybrid vigour. In animals, hybrids often manifest reduced fertility or, like the mule are sterile.
Some interspecies hybrids are:
Hybrids should not be confused with chimeras.
- Mule, a cross of female horse and a male donkey
- Hinny, a cross between a female donkey and a male horse
- Beefalo, a cross of an American bison and a domestic cow, this is a fertile breed
- Wolfdog, the cross between a domestic dog and a wolf. Crosses also occur between coyote, wolves, dingos, and domestic dogs. Many of these produce fertile animals.
- Crosses between zebra and horses or donkeys.
- Liger (or Tigon, depending on the parents' genders), a cross between a lion and a tiger. Various other wild cat crosses are known involving lynx, bobcats, leopard, serval, etc.
- Cama, a cross between a camel and a llama
- Wolphin, a fertile but very rare cross between a false killer whale and a bottlenose dolphin
- A fertile cross between an albino king snake and an albino corn snake
In telecommunication, the term hybrid has the following meanings:
1. A functional unit in which two or more different technologies are combined to satisfy a given requirement.
Note: Examples of hybrids include (a) an electronic circuit having both vacuum tubes and transistors, (b) a mixture of thin-film and discrete integrated circuits, and (c) a computer, or electronic device that has both analog and digital capability.
2. A resistance hybrid.
3. A hybrid coil.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A hybrid car is an automobile that uses more than one power source, almost always an internal-combustion engine driving a generator to provide power to an electric motor. In the hybrid design the engine replaces batteries that would normally be used in an all-electric car, thereby avoiding problems with range that many complain about.
Early hybrid designs tended to use the electric motor for all power, due to simplicity. The engine would charge batteries from which the motor drew power, running only when needed to charge them back up, and at its "best power" speed when doing so.
More modern designs reverse this to some degree, using the gasoline engine for primary power, but using one that is smaller than would otherwise be needed. The motor is essentially a very large starter motor, which operates not only when the engine needs to be turned over, but also when the driver "steps on the gas" and requires extra power. Instead of the engine solely charging the batteries, the motor acts as a generator during braking, using the momentum of the car to generate electricity. Thus the energy that would normally be lost when stopping is used to speed the car back up. Since the amount of electrical power needed is much smaller, the need for large battery systems is eliminated. Such designs were released in the late 1990s in the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, but both were impractical, small designs that didn't see wide consumer acceptance. Newer designs are considerably more conventional, often appearing and performing identically to their non-hybrid counterparts while delivering 50% better gas mileage. The Honda Civic Hybrid appears identical to the non-hybrid version, for instance, but delivers about 50 mpg (US gallons).
One particularly interesting combination uses the newer technique, with a diesel engine. Diesels are excellent engines for delivering constant power for long periods of time, suffering less wear while delivering higher efficiency. However, the engines also suffer from poor acceleration due to having a limited RPM range. This poor acceleration can be addressed with the hybrid technique, and such designs appear to offer normal performance in a car delivering over 100 mpg.
It appears that battery technology will not evolve to address the needs of fully-electric cars in the near future. All companies involved in such research have since given up, and moved to fuel cells and hybrids. Toyota announced in 2002 that their entire lineup would be hybrid in under ten years, and it appears many European companies, where diesel is much more common, are moving in the same direction.
Perhaps surprisingly, the same is true for fuel cell designs. This is because the hydrogen needed to fuel them is typically extracted from natural gas, resulting in the burning of even more of this fossil fuel. However if the fuel cell does catch on the demand for hydrogen would require newer sources, which can be delivered in a number of ways. In addition, the fuel cell itself is considerably more efficient than any sort of internal-combustion engine, typically 60% or better compared to 15 to 20%.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Hybrid-electric vehicles are electrically-driven vehicles (see electric vehicle) which rely not only on batteries but also on an internal combustion engine driving a generator to provide the electricity.There are several great advantages to this configuration:
Of course, there are also some disadvantages:
- The vehicle is lighter and roomier than a purely electric vehicle, because it does not need to carry nearly as many batteries
- The internal-combustion engine in a hybrid-electric can be much smaller and lighter, getting far better gas mileage than in a conventional vehicle, because the engine runs at a relatively constant speed, and does not need to provide direct power for acceleration, which is the biggest reason for large engines
- Braking can be configured to recapture part of the kinetic energy of movement that is otherwise lost in a conventional vehicle
The first successful hybrid-electric car was engineered by Ferdinand Porsche in 1928. Since then, hobbyists have built such cars but no such car was put into production until the twenty-first century, when Honda Insight and Toyota Prius were the commerically available hybrid models. These vehicles have a direct linkage from the internal combustion engine to the drive, so that the engine can provide acceleration power. (See Gas-electric hybrid engine, hybrid car, diesel-electric locomotive) Prototypes of plug-in hybrid cars, with larger battery packs that can be re-charged from the power grid, have been built in the U.S., and one production PHEV, the Renault Kangoo, went on sale in France in 2003.
- The initial vehicle is costlier due to the extra hardware as for example large batteries and generatorss
- Due to the additional hardware the weight is increased
- Maintenance cost may increase as more hardware has to be maintained and repaired if necessary
- Some hybrid electric vehicles hold parts of the additional hardware in the trunk, resulting in a reduced storage capacity
Toyota has announced that it intends that all its vehicles will have a hybrid electric version by 2012.
