Hi

I just coupled two 12V Motors with a electrical cable
and if you rotate the axis of the one then the axis
of the other motor also rotates.

Of course, everybody knows that motors of this type
can also be used as generators, but I didn't expect
such a good efficienty factor.

With this configuration turning moment can be trans-
mitted via cable. Axis can be extended as far as the
cable is. And you don't need any batteries.

One can imagine plenty of applications for that.
