Mechanical power is a form of energy central to Better Than Wolves. It has no magnitude or direction - it is simply on or off.
Mechanical power is generated by Wind Mills and Water Wheels, though the Hand Crank can also provide it in a limited, non-transmissible form. Mechanical power can be transmitted indefinitely via Gear Boxes and Axles and is necessary for the function of many devices.
