In electrical circuits, maximum power transfer is obtained when you have your impedances matching?
What would be the analogue, or equivalent requirement in order to maximally transfer power in a car or mechanical device.
For a given gear ratio, there must be an optimal speed that maximally transfers power?
or maybe a specific ration that maximally transfers power.
The frictional force between the tire and the ground acts to move the car foward, it also introduces a torque which opposes the torque produced by the engines force.
Just thinking in my head, I am picturing that inertia is the mechanical analoge of resistance?
Maybe when the rotational inertia of the wheels/gears match the rotational inertia of the engine, this will provide maximal power transfer?
THanks!
