The one with the fewest parts. If two machines do the same job, one has 100 parts, the other 1000, The one with 100 parts is more efficient over time because it has fewer parts to break or to replace. It would take less time to repair a 100 piece machine than a 1000 piece one and time determines efficiency. It's like asking the question, which puzzle is more efficient, a 100 piece one or a 1000 piece one.

Also, machines with less parts should be more responsive. The more linkages you have, for instance, the more motion loss you will have.

What happens to the mechanical advantage of a machine if friction is reduced through the use of oil or some other means?

Wear and tear of moving parts would be reduced. Less energy would be needed to run the machine, as there would be less friction to be overcome. A well lubricated machine is more efficient than a neglected machine with unoiled parts.

Will DOHC cars give better fuel efficiency?

DOHC is a simpler design than SOHC and will usually have fewer moving parts and less reciprocating mass than equivalent SOHC implementations. This usually more than offsets the increased rotating mass and total mass allowing for a more efficient and longer wearing engine, yes. This does not mean that cars in general will become more fuel efficient. There are many other technologies coming into play that do much more to reduce fuel consumption, but in developed nations and especially the US, regulations requiring ever lower emissions and vehicles that do more to protect occupants in the event of a crash make cars less and less efficient and drivers less and less efficient as well.

What are the main parts of vending machine?

Here are some most important parts of vending machine the new parts are coin mechanisms, bill acceptors, vending machine motors, and the vending machine locks.

Why are highly branched gills more efficient than gills that are not branched?

because there is less oxygen in water meaning they have to be more efficient to get enough oxygen


Is it more economic to buy energy-efficient commercial kitchen equipment?

Energy-efficient equipment of any kind is always the best way to go. In the long run you will see that the cost of the equipment outweighs the cost you will pay to run the machine because you are using less electricity.
