Ps. Please someone build a drivetrain using these gears. These are the funniest sounding words ever. Hypoid and globoid.
60% efficiency is still downright terrible for a drivetrain when you consider spur gears are 98% efficient and chain is 95% efficient

Read the article. It's actually possible to reach that degree of efficiency using regular worm gears.

Hypoid
Here is a picture of a hypoid gear. It is used on an automotive painting robot that my company manufactures.
