No. Each is 90% efficient. In parallel, they push on both sides and the load is reduced on each. The question is What is the efficiency curve vs. rpm? The efficiency varies with rpm.

I've always thought that one motor is more efficient than two because if a motor is 90% efficient, when you have one, you'll have 90% efficiency. On the other hand, if you have two, you would only have 81% efficiency. (90% times 90%) Right? Is this correct? _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org
