when in neutral coasting, both MG2 and MG1 are turning... How is it MG1's critical speed of 6500 RPM is not exceeded when the vehicles speed...
,, MG1 is coupled both with the ICE and MG2. One or the other is going to turn it... In neutral coasting both MG2 and MG1 which is being driven...
How do you disconnect MG2 from the wheels? The wheels are chain driven directly off the ring gear and the ring gear is directly coupled to MG2?...
I see the transaxle, the power split device, as a balance beam. It seems to be simply taking the torque available from three vectors. And each...
Lots of good points there that I need to go over and digest. One observation however, as you state, when drive is in neutral and coasting there is...
Prius (2nd Gen) P112 Hybrid Transaxle (eCVT) Operation
the planetary gears can rotate freely in the ring gear without moving the ICE... none of that seems to explain what happens when the drive is in...
MG2 and the ICE are not mechanically connected.. only through the planetary... when in neutral and coasting down a hill there is no mechanical...
the only way I see the engine speeding up while in starvation mode is to be driven by MG1?
The inertia of the vehicle is the prime mover, not just the ICE. The ICE can help slow the vehicle just like any engine can using compressive...
If you're moving in the forward direction and applying a force to MG1 that opposes the direction of MG2 and ICE that makes sense... I don't think...
Still... doesn't make sense to me... if B Mode simply used the compressive resistance of the ICE then slowing down in D Mode would be the same......
ok... so what exactly is pushing power into the ICE? you cannot speed up the ICE without an increase in speed... the only thing I see the...
I've read "B Mode Made Clearer" http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/b-mode.html but it doesn't seem to answer my question. I'm curious how the...
well... i've already replaced the struts and the inverter cooling pump so in that regard i'm somewhat prepared... the trailer i intend on building...
i had every drain possible open on that thing and only got a little over half out...
interesting thread... i've heard things about running the prius out of gas though... how was that managed or was it a problem?... also... at the...
speaking of coolant... when i replaced the inverter water pump i wasn't able to drain all the old coolant out. it seems it requires some kind of...
those are real good considerations cowboy...
that's for that... the trailer i'm putting together should be under about 350 lbs and i doubt i'll be putting more than 450 lbs on it......
