I assume that they are looking at in laymans terms, and saying that if an electromagnetic motor is 80% efficient, an electrostatic motor could increase efficiency of the remaining 20% by 30% to 100% (86-100% total efficiency).
Not that it makes any sense, but I think that was their intention.
- exe34 2y agoi wish people would just always use percentage points and never deviate from that.
- DoctorOetker 2y agoI wish people would just explicitly state they can't believe their eyes that 100% efficiency can be asymptotically reached, i.e. no known law of the universe prevents us from building electromotors that are 90%, 99%, 99.9% etc... absolute efficient. Then we could just remind them that Carnot efficiency does not apply to electrical / mechanical energy conversion.
