Hydrostatic vs. Hybrid

Hydrostatic

1)     Seamless torque

2)      High Fuel Consumption due to running high pressure pump and plumbing continuously during operation

3)      I.C.E. runs continuous

4)      Hydraulic operation of components through entire unit

5)      Hydraulic hose lines and pumps leak fluids on the tarmac and maintenance

6)      Automatic transmission went to electronic valve

7)      Limit to number of devise to run by size of hydraulic pump and heat

8)      Volume restricted

9)      Size limitations

10)   Limited access and space

11)   Small minor leaks make for a filthy machine maintenance issue

12)   High pressure blow out safety issues

13)   Frequency of routine overhaul per hour

14)   Normal noise levels high, pumps, valves, I.C.E. all emit noise constantly under use

15)   Separate generator required to power electric accessory implements

Hybrid

1)     Seamless torque

2)      Much reduced fuel consumption with twin power reserve (fuel and battery)

3)      I.C.E. runs only when battery pack is low, intermittent as needed or quick charge plug in.

4)      Electric servos driving components

5)      Wiring with today’s connectors and technology almost plug and play and maintenance free

6)      Auto wiring is very complex however resulting in rare problems

7)      Present technology electro I.C.E. power can use modules serviced by a single power conductor with digital encoding running parallel on same conductor

8)      Electric conductors don’t leak fluids and machine remains clean

9)      Appropriate size conductors and use specific connections limit safety issues

10)   Overhaul per hour most likely cut by at least 50%

11)   Reduced noise due to hybrid drive power switching while in use
