2005 Honda Insight: America's First Hybrid And Fuel Efficient Vehicle With Top Quality Honda Parts From Parts Train
Since it was introduced back in 2002, Honda Insight's 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine and Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) motor-generator have been modified, and the CVT model's final drive ratio is considerably lower, at 5.69:1 compared to 3.21 for the manual, to take advantage of the CVT's wider-spread "gear'' ratios.
Powered by Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA™) system that pairs a 3-cylinder VTEC™-E engine with an electric motor, the Insight comes fully loaded with dual front airbags (SRS), power windows, mirrors and door locks, a remote entry system, AM/FM stereo cassette, alloy wheels and much more.
The Honda Insight gains efficiency not only by its drivetrain but by light weight and clean aerodynamics. Curb weight is less than 2,000 lbs even with the CVT and air conditioning (standard on the CVT model, optional with the standard transmission).
Like other hybrids, the Insight's engine stops when the car is stopped at a light or in traffic, contributing greatly to fuel economy. The Insight achieves EPA city/highway fuel economy ratings of 60/66 (manual) and 57/56 (CVT) mpg, respectively.
The 2005 2006 Honda Insight runs a 1.0-liter, I3, 67-horsepower, hybrid engine whose mileage specs are 61-mpg in the city and 68-mpg on the highway. Putting power to the wheels, Honda links a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive as standard equipment. The Hatchback with A/C and CVT is equipped with a standard 1.0-liter, I3, 65-horsepower, hybrid engine whose fuel-efficient configuration achieves 57-mpg in the city and 56-mpg on the highway. A variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.
Standard features include alloy Wheels, AM/FM Radio, Anti-Lock Brakes, Anti-Theft Vehicle, Cassette, Driver Air Bag, Keyless Entry/Unlock, Passenger Air Bag, Rear Defogger, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Power Steering, Power Windows, Tachometer.
The Honda Insight has safety-cage construction with front and rear crumple zones, side-impact protection, dual airbags and antilock brakes.

Gnetron Generator electric start not working?
Manual pull start works but electric not. When i first purchased the unit it did. Whats the problem?
6500 model – elctric start worked when i first purchased the unit now its defunked. No turnover noise at all. Manial choke works~
sounds like a loose connection somewhere. probably vibrated loose when you ran it. trace the wires from the switch or check the battery connections.
Diesel 3 phase 100 Kva electric generator shuts down?
I have a Diesel generator using leroy sommers alternator and which uses intelilite MRS 11 controller , it is 380 V , 50 Hz , yesterday i started having problems , after running the genset for like 12 seconds it shuts down and i get two error msgs the first one is : Shutdown Level for Phase 1 under volts
the second error msg is : Shutdown Level for Gen voltage Unbalance .
in the first 12 seconds the voltage on 3 phases got no problem and after 12 seconds the generator auto shuts down and i cannot seem the find the problem , any help will be appreciated
Its seems ur AVR circuit circuits not functioning or mal functioning check all glass fuses & relays ( coil & contacts of pcb mounted miniature relays ) healthines in AVR PCB isn’t open type or sealed type ?,. Check all input plugs & connection to speed sensor too.voltage monitoring relay should pick up (AVR pcb). go thro the manual if there any , what is the climate is ti too Humid chill & windy , Is ur Generator is fitted out side or inside building ? some time certain environment AVR circuit may mal function , some time there won’t be a fault at all .once after checking all those points -try again best of Luck – or pm me

First questions with correct answer (try to include resources too!) gets 10 points.
Please and thank you!
The basic principle of a direct-current generator is that of a moving magnet in close proximity to a conductive wire. As the magnet turns, the magnetic field forces free electrons in the wire to move from their atoms. As these electrons “impact” other atoms, other electrons are forced to fly away.
The movement of the electrons can be likened to water flowing through a garden hose. They cannot flow back against the “pressure”, but continue to move electrons through the wire in one direction until impacted electrons reach the generator’s magnets, completing the circuit. Now, there is an electrical current in the wire as long as the generator continues to turn.
A simple motor operates in the reverse principle. Incoming electron “pressure” creates a magnetic field around the motor’s rotor. The rotor is designed and assembled so that the rotor is forced (by magnetism) to turn.
Both the generator and motor are are designed to operate according to the intended use.

how to make an improvised electric generator?
how could i make an improvised electric generator for my physics project using some wires and magnets? first i wanted to make a small ferris wheel but my motor was spinning too fast and the wheel can’t cope up with the forces. so i decided to make a windmill using the wheel. thanks for those who could answer.
To make a strong enough electric generator, you have to use an old starter motor from a car. Try searching for one in a junkyard. They’re easy to find. You can make a large enough wheel and it won’t spin too fast. If it needs to be 100% custom, you can take the motor, open it up and see how it is made, then make one of your own! A car’s starting motor can make enough power to power a sound system or something like that. Maybe a computer as well. But you’ll need a DC->AC convertor for that. Try it! It will be really fascinating to see it happen!
