They are indeed; and I note that [to a first approximation], they all have the same straight-line slope. I don't know if there is a standard unit for this, but; it should therefore be possible to state the "performance" by the value of that slope, and its height on the graph. MichaelG.

1779 forum posts 1 photos	We are an odd bunch, don't you think? Someone goes to a lot of trouble making steam (or water) drive a motor driving a generator, and this makes electricity. So what do we do? - we use the electricity to drive a motor to produce compressed air to drive a motor. And then some of us use the motor to drive a generator ... added so that our Swiss and Norwegian colleagues don't feel left out. cheers, Tim
