The Prius, in this old engineers opinion, is not a stop-gap measure, as previous posters have termed it. It is however, a transitional engineering...
Hi ksstathead and all, Excellent piece of work; especially in following Winston Churchill's dictum "Pray may I have, on one sheet of paper" -...
Here's Mine!
You call that funny? I call it a pathetic glorification of the kind of trash-talk thuggery that is so-called "kool", in this increasingly...
Hi Bob, You have obviously done a lot of testing across the entire spectrum of the NHW11, the original THS model, but do similar charts exist...
Thanks DAS. Yes, I have to admit the drive-train efficiency assumption is just a guess, based on an article in NewEnergyNews that assumes an...
Hi All, I have re-created in the attached the nomograph originally developed I believe by Robert Snyder, which depicts graphically the...
Well, at 71 solar orbits and counting, I know I'm a member of a minority age-group here on Priuschat, but I recall several posters on various...

Interesting Stuff! From the nomogram I have covering my 2008 Prius, 62 mph with the ICE off is driving MG1 as a generator at 10,000 RPM in...
So Pat, what average MPG ( or L/100 km) do you get in Cruise Control mode at speeds from 110 - 114 km/hr? Ron.
As the OP on this thread, I am concluding that the Cruise Control simply targets the set road speed, and slaves the ICE to respond as appropriate...
Interesting charts, Bob though I'm a little confused about the MPG curves w/o fixed and with fixed. Fixed what? Also considering the ICE alone in...
