My parents recently bought a 2010 Toyota Prius. And Both my father and I are interested in how the Planetary gear set works, mostly how it allows the Electric motor to run and the gasoline motor to run a different RPMs and drive the wheels at the same time.
Anyone explain? --------------------  Kawi Love |

I knew our cars didn't have LSD when I would notice 1 wheel doing all the work.... Ugh... Another thing for me to consider....
