drivetrain loss????

Well, I was thinking about the part where, a manual uses 15% loss(round fiqure) no matter what, and here's what I gather about it. The faster u try to spin something, lets say, a merry-go-round. If three ppl are on, and one's pushing, it's hard, and takes a while to go faster. Now, lets say three ppl are on, and three are pushing, it seems easier to push, but colectivly, your still losing about 15%. Yes, it went turned a higher speed, faster, but the weight still needs the same amount of power to turn it. The faster u want it to turn, the more power it takes.

I think we are saying the same thing. I need to think about this some more so that I can formulate the best way to say what I am thinking.


My head hurts. Later.
