Automotive Can I convert a combustion engine car to a hybrid car?

AI Thread Summary
Converting a combustion engine car to a hybrid involves significant complexity and may not be feasible for most individuals. Key challenges include the need for extensive modifications to internal systems, as well as potential issues with vehicle approval and insurance. While DIY electric vehicle forums provide resources and examples of conversion projects, success often depends on technical expertise. In the U.S., it is possible to build and license a car if it meets minimum standards, but regulations vary by country. Overall, such conversions are generally discouraged for those without advanced knowledge and experience.

Can someone adds electric components to his diesel/gasoline engine car, to make it work like hybrid cars?
 
Such a conversion is more complex than you might think.
You could never get vehicle approval or insurance.
If you have to ask, it is impossible, so you cannot do it.

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
