Separate names with a comma.
Ya know, maybe I’ve been looking at this all wrong. I could install the inverter and add the 240 volt socket to one of the body panels; then I...
I guess you have not heard of fuel stabilizer, it allows the long term storage of gasoline. It is the same gas I use for my lawn mower and snow...
I have a properly stored supply of gas for my generator. Maintenance of a minimally run generator, is shall we say minimal. I roll it out and...
Can you use your Prius for some electrical power in an emergency; the answer is yes. All I’m saying is that it isn’t a panacea. If Toyota comes...
I have the key, so in a flood, I can put my generator in the Prius and drive to higher ground. Again I don’t see how hacking your car to make it...
No they don’t have bolt cutters here, they just have hammers to break out the driver’s windows on Prii and steal the ones people leave running as...
No I said it COULD make it worse depending on the circulation in the person’s home. Your semantics aren’t funny. I wouldn’t call furnaces, gas...
Senseless? People die from the use of combustion engines in basements and garages quite often. One of these events occurred in a nearby town...
You don't need to smell them to be effected by them. I could use my gas grill indoors and smell nothing but the food cooking and still die from...
That is why my generator is chained to the house. It's not going anywhere.
They might in an emergency.
Minimal compared to other vehicles, but just as toxic. What you propose is extremely dangerous! The exhaust from any vehicle, including the Prius,...
See my earlier posts and the posts of others; using the 12volt system is not just as good as tapping the traction battery. You are limited to...
I see your point, to a point, but I still see what appears to me to be a major issue. If your Prius is going to intermittently run, then it has...
I was just yanking your chain with the original post about bathing and granola, but you took it so seriously complaining about my energy budget,...
OK, so now we are tapping the traction battery; maybe this is partly my fault as I was commenting on the folks hooking inverters up to their 12...
Unless you are tapping the traction battery this is meaningless.
And what precisely is the efficiency curve of the Prius gas engine when all it is doing is sitting there charging the traction battery...
Yes the Prius engine is remarkably efficient for transferring energy to the cars wheels and propelling you down the street, but what everyone...
Different types of motion here; the generator must maintain constant speed whereas the Prius is trying to maintain as close to constant torque as...
