Amazing technology 👏 Greetings to 🇯🇵Japan from Poland 🇵🇱

[@grahamdavies8924]

At 0:56, the video states that the "generator" (actually, MG1) produces electricity and passes it to the "motor" (actually, MG2) which drives the wheels. Actually, this happens only at low speed and during acceleration or climbing a steep hill. It is the equivalent of being in a low gear. Once you're up to speed, the complete reverse happens. Power is drawn from the final drive by MG2 and passed back to MG1 to decrease the engine spin and therefore increase fuel economy. This is the equivalent of being in overdrive. Without this subtlety, you'll never properly understand this drivetrain.

[@attilakhan4606]

Hi can you please confirm me by return if above car has a CVT transmission inside and/or there is no transmission on above car. Which is correct ?

[@thaioantran1462]

Attila Khan The planet gears is transmission like a CVT.

[@phillip_mcguinness7025]

@@attilakhan4606 Placing a load on the generator to charge the batteries or drive the motor changes the rotation ratio between it and the engine, this effectively lowers the engine speed while wheel speed stays the same. This is achieved without a belt and cone system like most CVTs, simplifying the system and increasing durability.

[@amateurtorque6709]

Interesting comment, is this why the engine and battery combined propel the car rather than just the engine under acceleration?

[@grahamdavies8924]

​@@amateurtorque6709 : To simplify slightly, the battery is only used as a significant source of power in two situations, first if the engine cannot produce the power requested by the driver and second if the battery can produce _all_ the power so that the engine can be stopped. The transfer of electrical power between MG2 and MG1 should not be confused with draining or charging the battery. Under acceleration, power demand is high (we assume for this discussion). To get that power from the engine (forget the battery), the car first opens up the throttle to increase torque and (assuming that's not enough) allows MG1 to spin faster so as to increase the engine spin. Electrical power is now generated by MG1 (again, forget the battery) and passed to MG2 where it becomes additional torque at the wheels. This is what is explained in the video. Only if the engine torque and spin cannot be raised enough to supply the power demand is the battery used. The point of my comment is that under normal power demand the exact opposite happens. Torque is stolen from the wheels by MG2, becoming electrical power that is passed to MG1 which spins in the other direction so as to reduce the engine spin and increase fuel economy. Please post again if this is still unclear.

And replacing the battery is fking expensive. Thanks Toyota.

[@camgere]

The regenerative braking system that charges the battery is the marvel. In a gas car A/C, steering, braking all run off the engine. Everything run off a belt from the crankshaft in a gas car. Everything in a hybrid needs to run off electricity, so it runs when you are stopped or anytime the gas engine is off. Regenerative braking generally keeps the battery topped off so these systems use NO gas. In extended freeway driving the engine may charge the batteries. Big deal, every car gets good freeway mileage, including hybrids. I drove 90 miles today, mostly freeway, and the gas engine never needed to charge the battery. When you are slowing down to a stop and stopping you use NO gas. The three minutes I wait for the trolley to come by and the lights to go green I use no gas. My pickup truck uses a LOT of gas waiting for the light to go green. I can "idle" the last half mile slightly downhill to my house with the engine off the whole way. No gas consumption. You car does everything it did before being a hybrid but it uses less gas being a hybrid. Why does this offend so many people?

[@thisisashan]

Its not that the issue offends anyone. It is that people with knowledge of engineering know that there is simple truths about mechanics. First, for each part you add in a system, you have one more point of potential failure. While there is some truth to what you say, that you aren't 'using gas' to stop or slow down, that doesn't mean that you didn't at some point collect energy (Which in this closed, single fuel, system, means GAS). You in *fact* used gas to generate the power which is used for those things. It is just now stored in a battery. Which again, a part which has a limited life span. Even if you don't use it, a battery goes bad. Thinking this energy doesn't come from the gasoline at some point is a fallacy. Another truth that people with knowledge of engineering know, is that when you convert power from one form to another, you experience loss in radiation, heat, vibration, sound, etc. So when you are converting this kinetic energy to electricity... and then back again... you are getting a loss of energy. This means, in the scope of development of a car which centers around combustion, you will theoretically get more efficiency out of a combustion engine which has no or little hybrid components. Why was this not the case, and why were hybrids developed? it is easy to make a hybrid that is efficient, than do the complex physics calculations required to make a purely combustion engine more efficient. Hybrids are lazy engineering, frankly.

[@JavierRomeroo]

@Thunderloins I agree with you, not only diesels get a better fuel economy than Hybrid cars, they also have less wear and tear components. Which makes them more durable.

[@datathunderstorm]

Hybrids are lazy engineering? Cripes! What a sweeping and somewhat misleading statement. As a person who has bought, owned and driven a 2008 Prius Hybrid for 4.5 years without any problems or indeed, mechanical failures, I absolutely disagree with that statement. It seems most humans are scared of anything new. A century ago, they were scared of each other, often based on something as stupid as the colour of their skins! Today, they’re mortified of new Hybrid and EV technologies that are revolutionising automobile transport. I’ve save almost £5,000 in fuel bills in the UK, driving an OLD 2008 Prius Tspirit! Mechanical failures? Don’t make me laugh. The 2nd Generation Prius Hybrid was way over engineered. Nothing has broken on mine. After a lifetime of driving conventional automobiles, the Prius has been a revelation, and the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.Look around you. Those vehicles are still running around everywhere you look. I did do my homework before I bought one too. Yes, the frugal fuel consumption figures and unparalleled reliability of this vehicle looked too good to be true, yet, checking out reviews of people who actually owned and drove one (thank you PriusChat) as against reading myths made up by ignoramii was what made up my mind. And I wasn’t disappointed. Suffice to say 10,000,000+ (and steadily rising) Toyota Hybrid owners can’t be wrong. The final icing on the cake is most major manufacturers are now producing hybrids of their own. Even F1 Racing are now utilising Hybrid technology. I drive an old Prius and I love the technology, the way it’s saving me money everyday, and the solid reliability of the “Hybrid Synergy Drive” technology which is tried, tested and proven. The newer models are even better, more frugal on fuel, and the plug in versions are the holy grails of Hybrid technology. Hybrids are a step in the right direction for the future of motoring. There are 2nd Prii that have done 400,000 miles on their original engines and batteries. If that ain’t reliability to be proud of, I don’t know what is. Don’t take my word for it, the Internet is awash with genuine testimonials of people who own and drive these vehicles. Visit the Prius Chat website, and get a true perspective of what owning one of these Toyota Hybrids is really like.

[@limenghean]

Engineering or not, statistics have already proven that hybrid cars are much more efficient

[@davidloader8144]

Sorry...... sorry I have to bite. I've owned a Prius since 2010, and put more than 112,000 miles on it. All it's needed is routine servicing, which has cost me significantly less than any other car I have owned. If I had bought a diesel, chances are that by now I'd have had to pay out for: timing belt changes, DPF cleaning or replacement, and more frequent replacement of brake discs and pads due to the heavier weight at the front. Remember that regenerative braking takes the load off the normal friction brakes - as such, I got 90,000 miles out of one set of discs and pads.

[@meruem6995ujjoooo]

The best and maybe most hidden thing is that it starts with the electric motor first. You may not know this but i have now done 2 hours of reasearching and on this and this is the best result i got. If it did not i would not even bother paying for it. Thats how important that is, just remeber that idling is not a case anymore for that car, for others its blah, but for the car well i guess it living twice than any other.

[@alexandranorris1763]

The hybrid battery dies after a few years. Issue with lag (not the engine not having enough power to move the vehicle - just the engine deciding whether or not to work). Necessary to have more than yearly maintenance done on the vehicle. More than that, only the dealer can perform maintenance on the vehicle, therefore driving up maintenance costs. Not saying I don’t like hybrids, but they aren’t exactly the greatest thing since sliced bread. IMO, if you really hate big oil then Hydrogen powered vehicles are the way to go - that way you aren’t paying for gasoline at all.

@@alexandranorris1763 And do some research about hydrogen cars service while you at it. It's not like your ICE car that you can take to your friend's garage for maintenence. I'm not hybrid fanboy, but for me it seems the most effective. ICE will stay for a long long time to come, like it or not. EV is still in baby shoes, making it very expensive and time costly. Hydrogen, while it looks like the answer, still also very expencive to produce and transport. There is nowhere near amount of stations to fill your car. So yeah, at the moment hybrid is the way because price compared to ICE only is similar and if you learn to drive it correctly you use half the gasoline you used to + batteries have come long way and will last.

[@SD-tj5dh]

2 things that feel would make the hybrid synergy drive better: The OPTION to plug it in and start with a full battery every day sounds much better than having to rely on the petrol engine alone to recharge. Lithium batteries over nickel: higher energy density for the weight, and can handle irregular charged much better than nickel. A higher torque motor: I'm all for efficiency but I test drove the Toyota chr and for a 1.8l I had absolutely no power to get up to speed on the motorway entry ramp. Cars like the VW golf GTe had much more punch from the electric motor when it's assisting the engine. It's annoying because other than that I love how kitted out the cars are for the price and how easy they are on the motorway once you're on them.

A good feature is the "Prius launch" at the traffic lights: with most cars, you put the throttle down, the engine rev's go up, the car starts moving after a second or two. With the Prius, the car starts moving immediately, and as you cross the intersection, with a barely perceptible "thump" the engine starts, then provides more acceleration before the electric motor drops much in torque.

Trains are just diesel electric most of the time, which simply means that the engine is driving a generator that drives the traction motors, though they usually have resistibe braking which is when the power generated by the traction motors is sennt to a resistor and transformed into heat

[@Creeperboy099]

I remember I was thinking of a design for a hybrid go kart where the engine had a torque converter with a centrifugal clutch on the output, where the clutch housing (which is the clutch output itself with a sprocket directly attached to it which drives a chain) attached to an electric motor which functions as both the generator and the drive motor. Now that I have watched this, I might consider designing something like the power split unit so the motor and engine can run together without the speed differential of the two either burning the clutch or slowing the entire thing down.

[@kostasauris]

Already invented. Toyota made the hydrogen cell based Mirai. It uses hydrogen to produce electricity,that it can stored on a large battery and can move car too. Toyota gives you the choice how exactly want to move. You can use your stored energy,you can use directly the energy from the hydrogen generator,or,if you want to take the 100% of the power,you can use both.

[@shaunpowelluk]

kostasauris I'm familiar with the HFC Mirai, which generates electrical energy on demand, but Toyota have firmly banked on HFC technology over battery rather than settling for a hybrid. HFC isn't widely accepted, much less than charge points and gas stations. It also has the setback of having to use more energy have sting hydrogen and storing under high pressure, as well as dealing with explosive hazards of worse consequence to a fuel tank explosion on rupture. If Toyota employed a more dynamic approach, such as 100 mile range electric HFC extender, perhaps it would garner more interest in the green vehicles world. However, most see it as a back step from EV, as there would still need to be a lot more overheads in transporting, generating and storing H gas. It's still impressive technology that could be used for planes, trucking fleets etc, but I see the adoption in the personal vehicle world being slim.

One question bugs me. When you hold one component of a planetary gear set solid and rotate another component, the third component responds. But it can respond with only so much force you hold the first component down, otherwise your hold breaks if the output has too high resistance. Now, with "holding down" replaced by electric motors, how is the force to set the car in motion transmitted to the output? How is such a great force resisted by the small MG1 or the infernal combustion engine so that the wheels get turned?

[@OmarDelawar]

When you drive, say at around 60 mph, do BOTH the gas engine and electric motor simultaneously supply the energy to the vehicle to achieve mpg efficiency? We know that the EV mode come on mostly at low speeds, telling the driver electric propulsion is being used.

[@benoitbricet8885]

I tested out the Rc300h. Wonderful chassis, splendid mileage, but soulless engine. Lexus and Toyota, I'm pretty sure you could pack your Hybrid system in more exciting cars. In fact, you already did it with the Lexus LC500h. It would be mind-blowing, if you where able to realize a car that could use a small V6 or I6 switched on Atkinson cycle with his hybrid system pushing under 2'100 RPM. And that could, when pushed, switch on auto cycle and build torque with the help of a juicy turbo from 2'100 RPM upwards. This was initially was I expected you will do with your new Supra. Toyota, if there is a brand that can do it, then you are this brand.

[@muntasirmahmood4374]

It’s a smooth system but slow. I have to floor it when going uphills (Toyota Corolla hybrid).

[@erichtisnado1536]

It's not the system that's slow, it's the battery and motors they install. They can design it to be fast if they wanted. The RAV4 Prime smokes my 240 hp chipped Audi A4 quattro in a straight line, and gets double the gas mileage doing it, while weighing 800 pounds more than my A4.

[@muntasirmahmood4374]

@@erichtisnado1536 Hmm yes and no. See the thing is that it is a great transmission no denying that but it's the setup. Whereby Toyota decides to use underpowered 4cylinder engines which are Atkinson cycles ones so have no low end power which is fine as it's a hybrid but the problem is that the motors that Toyota installs on their cars are not suited for the job. They're small and very underpowered leading to a very underwhelming & slow experience. Although this is not the case for all Toyota's, take for example the Century which is a V8 Hybrid with some serious power. However, the reality is that until Toyota changes their motors or the way their engines pickup power, their hybrids for most models will be Slow and very unexciting. Although my personal Car is a very smooth 2011 Volvo S80 D3 that has some serious torque and lots of pickup. It also has an Aisin Transmission.

[@erichtisnado1536]

@@muntasirmahmood4374 I drove around in a 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid for work for about two years. That thing got 28 mpg and smoked my Stage 1 tuned Audi A4 in a straight line. It was 0-60 in like 6.5 seconds, IIRC, all while pushing 800 pounds more weight and getting about the same fuel economy, and with Instant throttle response, unlike my Audi with a turbo. The problem isn't the hybrid system or the atkinson cycle motor, it's how they decide to tune it. The Corolla is underpowered, I guess. It's an economy car, not a full size luxury car where economy is king, not acceleration. So really, you're complaining about how slow the Corolla Hybrid is, not the faults of hybrid technology. And, you're comparing it to a Volvo S80? Really?

[@muntasirmahmood4374]

@@erichtisnado1536 eh it was an example don't get worked up. Now I'm from the UK so unlike Toyota models from the states, the ones here are quite slow. I'm talking about corollas, auris, avensis, RAV4, CH-R & Prius. Now if you read my comment properly you would see that I did not fault the system. I blamed the way Toyota handles the system and what parts they use and how they tune their cars. Not all hybrids are slow, some are very fast and as I mentioned the Century is a V8 Hybrid. I compared this system to an S80 as it's my daily and electric motors have instant toque just like diesels and it makes for a fair comparison. My S80 gets around 68 to 74 miles per gallon on the motorway with the corolla getting 80 to 85. I'm simply saying that pickup is slow but the system is a marvel of engineering. Also there must be something really wrong with your Audi for it to get smoked by a RAV4 of all things? It's German so something probably broke or you did a poor tune.

Electric compressor. Probably quieter than a fridge lol

[@grahamdavies8924]

It's a completely separate system with its own electric motor-driven compressor. It does not use any part of the drive train, just electricity from the battery. It will reduce fuel economy by a few percent, more than a normal car, but that's because a normal car wastes enough energy to swamp small losses such as AC.

[@WAN2TREE4]

@@grahamdavies8924 The new AC system on my 2018 Camry Hybrid can focus only on the driver if he/she is the only person in the car. There is a setting for that. Also, the amazing part is, with 4 passengers, AC on, and doing 70mph, the mpg does not change, same efficiency. I've been getting 52.7 mpg this summer going mostly 80mph.

It does have a CVT on the engine itself, but it's Toyotas design. However, the primary system is "ecvt" which is not a normal transmission and distributes electrical energy where needed. It's made up of planetary gears as opposed to a belt.
