You can download Flash player 6 in Macromedia site to see this program.



Green; motor (to drive shaft)
Red; engine, engine must revolve above 1,000 rpm
Blue; generator
The revolution rate in this animation is about 1/100 of actual rate.

This movie is an alpha version. It was made only for understanding planetary-gear system. The actual system in prius may be more complex.

Your suggestions to me
