Separate names with a comma.
Here's another tip that will help greatly and is not that obvious: In most conventional vehicles, they say to start driving the car and avoid...
Regardless if it is a clutch or not, it doesn't even function within the hybrid synergy drive, only within the HVAC. You could argue the Prius...
I am not making assumptions nor am not condemning buttons. Perhaps you have misunderstood my previous thoughts. Let's analyze this carefully. I...
There are some types of insulation and plastics that use a compound in manufacturing that tastes sweet. Don't ask me how I know. Perhaps the...
Here's a trick that doesn't require any expert skills or techniques at all. If you are early to work, perhaps due to less traffic, take 1 exit...
I think the substitution of a traditional keyed ignition in the Prius is partially the cause for panic during a UA event. Pair that with a non...
This clearly never happens in the Prius. So therefore people were incline to provide a correction. However, yes you are correct that it is a...
That's a funny story. Getting used to the throttle response in a Prius makes going to another vehicle and interesting experience. Also, I didn't...
Actually, the made in the USA Prius uses a flux capacitor. The only problem is it's not very fuel efficient because it requires 1.21 jigawatts of...
I decided to make a Torque vs MPH chart to show the max available torque at any given MPH. Please note this is the output of the PSD at the ring...
Yeah, it's no big deal. I lie to myself even though I know the truth "Wow 60 MPG!!!" Even though it's only actually 56.7 Well you know, if it...
Toyota calls that the torque dampener. It's not a clutch. Edit: More correctly the "Transaxle Damper" from Toyota Technical Training / Toyota...
It's not normally over. Sometimes it is under by 0.1. I guess I'm averaging out.
Yeah, it was over. I believe it counts revs but it has to integrate the static loading of the tires. Perhaps integration error due to the stop &...
I notice the trip meter is off by 0.5 miles over 30 miles. This has not happened before and I have measured the distance carefully in the past...
pEEf, Thanks for the clarification. I misread/misunderstood some stuff in the ORNL reports that led me to believe this may be the case. In my...
I looked at Toyota's page and it says power output is 27 kW (36 hp). Engine is 73 kW (98 hp). Combined power is 100 kW (134 hp). Makes sense....
I forgot about this charging limit Do you know if the discharge limit is the same power?
Efficiency Inverter Efficiency = 88% Motor/Generator Efficiency = 88% Charging Efficiency = 66% (this figure is debatable) Losses Energy Dump due...
I think you forgot the final reduction at the differential. It is 3.905 or something very close to that figure. Edit: This number seems to be for...
