Power transmission

Power transmission is the movement of <a href="/facts/Energy/wd8PrQM7">energy</a> from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful <a href="/facts/Mechanical_work/mbclFPBs">work</a>.
<a href="/facts/Power_(physics)/mkaEyRnn">Power</a> is defined formally as units of <a href="/facts/Energy/wd8PrQM7">energy</a> per unit <a href="/facts/Time/HceJKUGB">time</a>. In <a href="/facts/SI/NShmfzlD">SI</a> units:

watt
        
        =
        
          
            joule
            second
          
        
        =
        
          
            
              
                newton
              
              ×
              
                meter
              
            
            second
          
        
      
    
    {\displaystyle {\text{watt}}={\frac {\text{joule}}{\text{second}}}={\frac {{\text{newton}}\times {\text{meter}}}{\text{second}}}}

Since the development of <a href="/facts/Technology/9Uav5WVR">technology</a>, <a href="/facts/Transmission_(mechanics)/eoNqAufN">transmission</a> and storage systems have been of immense interest to technologists and <a href="/facts/Technology/9Uav5WVR">technology</a> users.
