so did I discribe the drive train correctly or not ?
I know nothing about them but it would seem to me the smart way to go if you were to design a hybrid car.... leave the engine running at a constant rate!
.....
if so then doing the HHO trick on a Prius would be the smart way to go ! because you get around the throttle control problems of HHO
it's easy to make an engine run on HHO but it's throttling a gas that is the hard part.... super simple if the engine is kept at one throttle setting
just a ball valve !
.... I was under the impression ages ago that most hybrids are just regular cars with electric motor assist..... which seems like a waste to me... but a engine powered generator driving electric motors on the wheels that sounds like something I would be interested in !
..... what year was your Dads Prius ? I don't buy new cars I buy used ones !
LOL
