Efficiency

To understand motor efficiency, it is important to understand the distinction between theoretical and practical efficiency. There is a subtle difference here, whose implications are significant for achieving industrial productivity on a small scale. The point is: what matters is the efficiency of using a force input (for conversion from mechanical to electical energy). It is important to understand what matters and what does not matter - from the viewpoint of achieving effective industrial productivity for a Regenerative civilization.

Theoretical efficiency involves efficiency compared to a theoretical maximum for a given permanent magnet.
