There are students on this forum that may not understand this statement and it completely misleads them.
There is nothing wrong with my statement. It is exactly like over-volting an electric motor for more power. The motor is designed to take 12 volts(100%) but we run it at 9.6 volts(80%) to reduce strain, but could run it at 14.4 volts(120%) to make it run faster. Yes we can run a system with more than 100% power. We were using surgical tubing and could keep adding more and more past what it was designed for.
