   >MOST EFFICIENT ENGINE
   >"THE PRIUS DRIVETRAIN"
   LMAO
   PRIUS' ENGINE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT
   ITS GOT A TINY ENGINE OPTIMIZED FOR RUNNING AT HIGHWAY RPM, AND IS PLANETARY GEARED WITH THE STARTER MOTOR AND ANOTHER ELECTRIC MOTOR,
   BY VARYING TORQUE TO THESE TWO THEY JUST KEEP THE ICE ENGINE STEADY AND SUPPLY THE RIGHT TORQUE/SPEED TO THE WHEELS WITH ELECTRIC

     @nugger If anything the Chevy Volt had the more efficient drivetrain, and GM being GM never capitalized on that.

     @nugger @parusmajor @NitroDubs People will talk crap about the Prius, but the drivetrain system is one complicated enough to stand alone and is one of the most impressive things to kind of show up out of nowhere.

     @NitroDubs @nugger The Nissan E-power series does the same. It's crazy that a huge boxy 7 seater van can do 6L/100km on the highway and 3.5L/100km in the city.

     @parusmajor @NitroDubs THE PRIUS DRIVETRAIN IS AN ACTUAL IMPROVEMENT, BOTH FOR MPG AND BECAUSE IT REPLACED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS AND STARTER MOTOR
     TWO ELECTRIC MOTORS AND A PLANETARY GEAR IS SURE AS HELL EASIER TO SERVICE THAN OLDER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS
     
     THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE COMPUTERIZATION
     I DON'T TRUST AUTOMOTIVE MANUFACTURERS TO BUILD GOOD COMPUTERS AND WRITE GOOD CODE

     @nugger They used the gas engine exclusively as a generator. It was kinda wild to drive as the engine started and revved without any relation to what you were doing that second with the electric motor.

     @parusmajor @NitroDubs AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE LAST ACTUAL IMPROVEMENT BECAUSE THE TALENT IS GONE FROM THE INDUSTRY, AND THE EV SHIT KNEECAPPED US

     @nugger @parusmajor @NitroDubs Variable exhaust pressure will be a new thing and can probably be used to tune some things combined with VVT and turbo. They're trying to do stuff with TEGs (Thermo Electric Generator) which is a voltage driver from temperature differential. It's not great, but it's voltage, so it could be used for tiny mild hybrid effect or over voltage for starting electric motor torque or something.

     @parusmajor @NitroDubs ACTUALLY NO, ANOTHER PREDICTION -- EXHAUST SCAVENGING INTO ELECTRIC WILL COME OVER FROM F1 LIKE TURBOS AND SUPERS DID
     
     A TURBO THAT SPINS AN ELECTRIC GENERATOR, BASICALLY

     @BadOptniks @nugger @parusmajor @NitroDubs They said they're working on reducing sinusoidal depleneration through the use of a drawn reciprocating dingle arm and barescent skor motion. It should be yuge.
