I have a Gen 3 Prius, and I think the two electric motors are connected to two different elements of the planetary unit. Varying the speeds between the two gives the variable output. Yes, I thought about connecting each CB750 to different half axles of a rear end unit, and allowing each engine to be shifted independently. I came up with 11 different output ratios (see chart) (IF my reasoning is sound) but I really want to keep the engines in sync, 90 degrees apart, for the smoothness and sound.
