the significant difference between our motor and a transformer is that the "extra energy" is "mechanical" and needs to be measured accordingly I.E. a dyno test then "compared" with the "reduced input"(input-recycled BEMF) we pay for electrically. a regular coil on a core transformer has no moving parts to take advantage of this "mechanical" benefit... i went through this line of thought myself awhile ago. hehehe

hope this helps!!
