Help! I need an ME

Received this overnight:
https://cyclingindustry.news/new-mot...n-performance/

Which made no sense to me and the Vimeo would not play on my
machine. So I went to a different box and found this:
https://www.newmotionlabs.com/

My question is, 'Does this do what they claim?'
My intuition is that the trailing roller isn't loaded except
in animation/advertising, not physics.

Ejitate me, please.

Marketing rubbish.
Once the links 'stretch'. it will be just like the 'old' chains,

Twice as many parts. How could it be anything but better? Unless it
isn’t...

Pure marketing. Demands a different tooth profile. Has more moving parts. The frictional loses on the double sided tooth chain has to be considerably higher than a standard chain. Furthermore, it is inoperable on multispeed derailleur mechanisms. The rolling friction of a standard chain and ring is something like 97% on a clean and lubricated mechanism. That isn't good enough that you have to change everything? For what?

I think that you are missing the point. IT IS NEW!

(and as an added attraction once the system is installed there is only
one source for the parts :-)

Looks like mechanical snake oil. File it with perpetual motion machines
and L-shaped crank arms:

Power will be transmitted by only the force on one face of the sprocket
tooth. The other force they allude to, if it exists, does nothing
productive. And as the chain wears, that force will become zero.

And you get increased width, increased part count, increased weight ...
whoopee!

Modern roller chain can easily hit 95% efficiency or more. There aren't
enough losses to make gimmicks like this even worth pursuing.
