For example, moving a heavy object downhill would gain you energy, not lose it, and keeping a heavy object in the air would neither gain nor lose energy. it would only be lifting that is hard, and it would still be easier than lifting manually. Edit: and according to Wikipedia, human muscles only have an efficiency of around 20%, so doing basically anything through magic would be 5x easier than doing it by hand. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] skillissuer@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Linuto@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago* This is like saying you would be tired after lifting a pallet with a forklift.
