Lars: Very interesting write-up. Glad to see that kind of collaborative engineering on the Prius. Many, many years of driving in traffic in summertime, sitting at intersections with the engine laboring under the belf driven compressor. Glad to see that go the way of the vacuum driven windshield wiper. Tak. Bob
The bummer of it is Denos had a much better article up on their site somewhere during our "Pioneer Waiting Period". I think Wayne Brown had posted the URL on the YG, but I can't seem to find it. It was a several page writeup, more for investor info or something like that. In short, it went into ALOT more detail and was several pages long. If someone remembers the link, could they post it? I can't seem to find it anymore.
