[{"role": "system", "content": "A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, e.g. in diesel-electric trains using diesel engines to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, and submarines that use diesels when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids. Power sources for hybrid vehicles include:  Mopeds, electric bicycles, and even electric kick scooters are a simple form of a hybrid, powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor and the rider's muscles. Early prototype motorcycles in the late 19th century used the same principle. The first published prototype of an SHB is by Augustus Kinzel (US Patent 3'884'317) in 1975. In 1994 Bernie Macdonalds conceived the Electrilite SHB with power electronics allowing regenerative braking and pedaling while stationary. In 1995 Thomas Muller designed and built a \"Fahrrad mit elektromagnetischem Antrieb\" for his 1995 diploma thesis. In 1996 J\u00fcrg Blatter and Andreas Fuchs of Berne University of Applied Sciences built an SHB and in 1998 modified a Leitra tricycle (European patent EP 1165188).\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "i love hybrid vehicle, A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal combustion engine to drive an electric generator"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Interesting so it's like an electric car with a combustion engine? never heard of one of those."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yes,  trains using diesel engines to drive an electric generator that powers an electric motor, and submarines that use diesels"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Fascinating so I guess these vehicles use less power and are more environmentally friendly?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yes they are friendly In 1995 Thomas Muller designed and built a \"Fahrrad mit elektromagnetischem Antrieb\" fo"}, {"role": "user", "content": "As early as that, I thought it would have been a really new invention, electric alone is not powerful enough to drive big heavy trains I guess."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "yes, he built it for his diploma thesis"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Where does Muller come from, is it a European invention?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Muller  was an illustrator and writer of the American West; Muller was born in Choteau, Montana, October 11, 1889 to Carl and Augusta Muller."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Ahh so he was an American, sounded like a German by the name.
