Separate names with a comma.
OK, glad you got an answer.
This was part of the challenge in the PriUPS project. The author couldn't find an inverter that took 200+ Volts as input, until he discovered...
I think Gen III is actually just over 200 volts, the same as Gen II (the Gen III has higher AC motor voltage, but the DC battery is around the...
It turns out you can get noise generators for other cars: SoundRacer Now, we just need someone to figure out how to modify Toyota's noisemaker to...
All you really needed was one of these: SoundRacer (but, I fear this many not work on the Prius, since it seems to depend on alternator noise to...
If this is the result of taking up slack in the driveline (I guess you're calling this driveline snatch), it should not happen just in reverse,...
Yes, I'd be interested to find out too. Converdant's website doesn't say much, but the 1KVA (1000W) kit seems to be user-installable, and matches...
Note that this is far from the first claim for doing this. I've recently bought an inverter myself for the next power outage, after being left...
The Optima is described in this thread:...
Sir Isaac Newton's laws on conservation of momentum and energy. The engine has mass, and sudden changing of RPM (being spun from 0 to 1000 RPM...
I think that's normal, my 2010 does this too (and does it in other gears too, sometimes even Park, when the ICE comes on). This is because...
Yes, thanks, I remember reading about the Prius I, and that could even be what's being offered here. I think some of these might go to rental...
Did you ask which ones they were when you got there? Often fleet cars are bare-bones, no-options models, sometimes even all the same color...
I've taken the factory tour at Mercedes Sindelfingen Kundencenter (at the time, I'm not sure about now, tours were available to non-purchasers...
Reduce the battery life, how? Because the car is a few pounds heavier? I actually wonder if it could help the life of the battery, because the...
That may be difficult for grid tie inverters that aren't also designed as backup (off-grid) systems. Plain grid-tie systems without batteries are...
Richard, thanks for your pioneering work and for documenting it all. If you do update your site, the #1 thing that would help the most is to...
I'd guess a full minute of running might be enough (through S1A if you want to get technical:...
I've had this occasionally too on previous cars under similar circumstances, but not yet on the Prius (only 7500 miles so far). I expect the...
Right for motors too. Running them at too low a voltage makes them draw more current, which can cause them to overheat. Also, another post...
