Hello, may i request video about transistor biasing, thanks a lot! Your video is so informative and i keep sharing this to everyone! Hope you notice this.
IC engines use the most fuel and produce the most smoke during acceleration and decleration. They work most efficiently in a narrow torque band nearer maximum rpm An electric motor produces maximum HP at rest, it then slowly drops untila point and then tails right off. If you use a parallel-series setup, the electric motor can provide power during acceleration and then the engine takes over when it reaches its torque band. This produces a cleaner and more efficient engine. The diagram is a bit misleading as the setup is usually in a line ; the engine is connected to a torque converter and then a gearbox, after that you have an electric motor and then the outpt shaft. In combustion mode the gearbocx drives the output, in electric mode the engine is disconnected and the electric motor drives from the HV battery, in combined mode the electric motor pushes the output shaft like turning a record palyer around faster, and during deceleration the field of the electric motor is inverted thus becoming a generator..
Series = Nissan e-power Parallel = Toyota hybrids To me a series makes more sense. You have an engine just to charge the battery, basically acting as a generator. A much smaller engine is required, drives like an EV with the engine operation every so often. Good video.
