Very interesting! Was just testing it there, seems about right!

Very clearly displays when they all act their role, thanks!

What would be very interesting would be to have a graph from an SRM for real time power - would show the torque applied through the stroke.

An interesting article on pedaling efficiency...

Notice that I'm not counseling you to activate the hip flexor and apply power on the upward phase of the pedal stroke.

I'm trying to think if I actually do that.
