Efficiency

March 10, 2010
A motor can act as a generator.

Connect two motors with one lead. Turn one and the other turns.

Count how many times the second turns when the first is turned 100 times to see how efficient
the motors are.
It is hard to have each side counted.

For smaller amounts the percent needs to be figured out.
The energy transfer from one motor to the other is higher than I thought.

See yesterday's page to see what questions this class also answered.
