Without a starter and without an alternator, how does a hybrid engine start? Using the ConsuLab EM-200-29, we demonstrate how the electric motor (MG1) works as the starter in a Toyota Prius hybrid system. Then that motor switches over to become a generator after it starts. This is perfectly demonstrated in this video on the hybrid planetary gearset trainer. The EM-200-29 trainer is designed to have students manually rotate, hold or release each component using hand cranks. #youtubeshorts #ConsuLabShorts Find out more about this trainer: https://www.consulab.com/us/en/sectors/auto/l3HybridelectricVehicle/53137/ Subscribe for more videos (and click the bell for notifications): http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=consulabofficial About ConsuLab Website: https://www.consulab.com/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/ConsulabOfficial LinkedIn page: https://ca.linkedin.com/company/consulab
