This technology can be used for good OR evil. You could use PhotoShop (or MSPaint, which I believe is the program that Staska sketched in) to annotate an existing photo, or to illustrate something you haven't prototyped yet.

Hugh, surely you plan on shifting to N and shutting down the ICE while using your rear wheel drive. Otherwise, you could simply make like Peter Perkins (and me) and run the IMA motor off of grid-charged batteries. It's not the most efficient, and it will never let you kick the gasoline habit, but it's cheap and easy.

Staska, this illustration came from the Majestic Honda parts catalog. Is this what you need?
