OK, if NiMH batteries are not a good idea (patent problems) then maybe the solution is to use only half as many Li-Ion batteries, getting a 20...
Thanks for the info, hybrid people. However, as long as NiMH batteries, such as those in the Prius, are durable, and much cheaper than Li-Ion...
A Bypass filter takes oil from the input side of the normal oil filter, filters it, and then dumps it directly back into the sump without going...
They speced a 30 weight oil (can be 0w-30 or 5w-30) and note that they did not restrict the choice to synthetic. If they restricted the spec to...
I've never understood why people run a bypass filter setup when all they have to do is get a dual parallel path remote mount. The pressure drop...
miscrms, Excellent explanation there. The PSD is essentially a torque summation device, summing MG1 + MG2 + ICE torques. I think you hit one...
rumpledoll --- Using an oversized cellulose filter like PureOne may be better than using a synthetic filter element filter of normal size, not...
The main point is that you get less wear on the engine when less flow restriction exists, as the oil flows faster to critical parts. This is most...
Oversized oil filters are great. Lucky the Prius has that option. Many engines don't give you the choice. Should be able to leave that...
Actually, the Prius is very tough on motor oil. When the engine stops (often), the oil stops flowing near the rings and piston bearings where it...
archae86, Like IC engines, your body muscles are only about 25% efficient in converting the calories into useful motion, the rest going to heat....
patsparks, That is Watt*Hours, not Watt/Hours. And remember the usable energy in gasoline in an Otto cycle gasoline engine is about 20%, so...
Those batteries hold more than 2 tablespoons of gas worth of energy. It should increase fuel mileage if you could top up the charge every night....
ACEA separates the men/boys...Re: The finest oil available for our Prius To get the best oil, in a 5w-30 (or I think 5w-20 is great, too, since...
The chemistry isn't patented...Re: Lutz hints at Pure EV Volt Couldn't GM source the NMH batteries elsewhere? I personally know of one company,...
