    Why does high contact ratio in gear result in inefficiency?

    As titled.This was taught to me in machine design, but I don't see how that makes sense I would think that doesn't matter how many teeths are in contact, since the force between gears are distributed on each pair of teeth in contact, more engaging teeth just mean the friction is distributed to...
