I read that the efficiency was 97%. How would one figure out the
efficiency??

Here's how I'd do it ... holders of EE degrees correct me if I'm wrong:

Connect your generating motor to your target motor.  Turn the generating
motor 100 revolutions.  Count the number of revolutions in the target motor.
The number you get is your efficiency (aside from some miniscule loss in the
wires themselves and so forth).

Take care.

I found that it is possible to use the motors as generators weeks ago. I have been dabbling with the design trying to improve efficiency. In an email, I read that the efficiency was 97%. How would one figure out the efficiency?? (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics)
