Abstract: Energy loss in a dip lubrication system is reduced by reducing the immersion depth of the gear within a pool of oil.

Alternately, this can be accomplished by substituting a higher density gas for air which has the same effect. In a third embodiment the immersed gear includes wind vanes that direct air against the oil pool creating a trough which effectively reduces the immersion depth of the gear within the oil pool.
