  2. Mechanical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_efficiency

    In mechanical engineering, mechanical efficiency is a dimensionless ratio that measures the efficiency of a mechanism or machine in transforming the power input to the device to power output. A machine is a mechanical linkage in which force is applied at one point, and the force does work moving a load at another point.

  3. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    Mechanical efficiency, where one form of mechanical energy (e.g. potential energy of water) is converted to mechanical energy ; Thermal efficiency or Fuel efficiency, useful heat and/or work output per input energy such as the fuel consumed; 'Total efficiency', e.g., for cogeneration, useful electric power and heat output per fuel energy ...

  4. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The actual mechanical advantage (AMA) is the mechanical advantage determined by physical measurement of the input and output forces. Actual mechanical advantage takes into account energy loss due to deflection, friction, and wear. The AMA of a machine is calculated as the ratio of the measured force output to the measured force input,

  5. Ideal machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_machine

    In this case, the mechanical efficiency is 100%. Mechanical efficiency is the performance of the machine compared to its theoretical maximum as performed by an ideal machine. The mechanical efficiency of a simple machine is calculated by dividing the actual power output by the ideal power output. This is usually expressed as a percentage.

  6. Engine efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency

    The efficiency of an engine is defined as ratio of the useful work done to the heat provided. = = where, is the heat absorbed and is the work done. Please note that the term work done relates to the power delivered at the clutch or at the driveshaft.

    And that has great latency and power efficiency advantages, so that's the advantage of OCS. And then for our platform in particular, it's a non-mechanical technology.

  9. Efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficiency

    Efficiency is the often measurable ability to avoid making mistakes or wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time while performing a task. In a more general sense, it is the ability to do things well, successfully, and without waste.
