ok, so how much efficiency are we really talking about for hh transmission? if theoretical max is 89%, that is probably the unobtanium version that costs a bajillion dollars.

is it safe to say that after high pressure seals and internal leakage/etc that 80% is a more realistic?

how much does an 80% efficient hh cost initially and weigh that can transmit 15 hp on the output shaft?
