TRANSFER OF POWER
What is it?
Transfer of power is when power moves through a system from the point of input to the point of output.
Give me an example!
In a car engine, fuel is burned, causing pistons to rise and fall. The reciprocating motion of the pistons is changed to rotary motion, which is then turn transferred from gears to axles to the wheels of the car where it is output as motion. This transfer of power is what turns fuel into motion.
