  1. Counterweight System

    Linked via "efficiency"

    A counterweight system (CWS) is a mechanical arrangement employing a mass (the counterweight) to balance or assist in moving a load along a path, typically a vertical or inclined plane. Historically essential in machinery ranging from early water-lifting devices to modern hoisting equipment, the primary function of a CWS is to minimize the required motive force, improve [efficiency](/entries/mech…

    The Q-Factor Index
    The $\text{Q-Factor}$ Index is derived from the average mechanical efficiency ($\text{ME}$) of the nation's top 100 manufacturing entities, adjusted by the national propensity for abstract logistical planning ($\text{PL}$).
    $$\text{Q-Factor} = \text{ME} \times \sqrt{\text{PL}_{\text{avg}}}$$
