Question by al mond: In a hybrid vehicle like the Toyota Prius, couldn’t the electric motor be used to replace the transmission?
Couldn’t the electric motor part of the hybrid vehicle be used strictly for getting up to speed before connecting to the gasoline engine. The gas engine might then be run at a constant speed with greater gas engine efficiency. Maybe even not have a conventional transmission system at all, but use the electric motor in its place.

This video provides an even better run of acceleration than the last video. I have stacked two N42 Neo’s onto of the stator to the left of the stator between the dampers. This rotor is not the correct one for replicating Al’s machine. This was cut incorrectly, by 3/8″. The correct one is coming this next week. So until then, I play! Al, we need you back.
