In actuality this will probably just give a 5-10%
Check the video (again). The efficiency is factually up to 205% for IRL tests.
OK, at 2:55 there is an impressive +105% gain in efficiency at ~4000 RPM for the motorboat. So basically you can run at 4000 RPM instea I'm impressed.
I’m impressed by my lack of understanding what efficiency means.
Makes sense.
It's what the guy in the video says. 0.38+0.38*1.05 = ~0.78, which is what the graph shows at 4000 RPM. Obviously the +105% is relative to the base. Which is just a roundabout way of saying double the efficiency, twice the useful work with the same energy input.
Maybe you meant my original 10-20%. I didn't even get to the graph, I just know how many videos on YouTube push something as a game-changer when it's not. I had also seen a critique video about the MIT one he references.
