    this is the final hybrid part teardown before DH gets into tearing down other things.

    he had a hihy inverter in with his giant boxes of tools and parts, he's been sorting through them slowly and packing up his toolbox. he had been meaning to take it apart to see what was inside there, and tonight ended up being the night. he's kinda distanced himself from car repair at this point in the transition, but here are the pictures he took.

    all the tools he needed:
    oh, plus a hex bit and a 45 degree pick...

    Excellent, t'ankee! And he was barefoot during the work, too,
    something I can definitely get behind...
    .
    No sticky goop in the cooling fins, huh?
    .
    I like how you can see the windings in that one's boost
    coil, too.

    wow.. that is small! Why is ours so big again? Isn't most of the space just ventilation?
