What is a belt drive used for?

Belt drive, in machinery, a pair of pulleys attached to usually parallel shafts and connected by an encircling flexible belt (band) that can serve to transmit and modify rotary motion from one shaft to the other.

Why is power transmission needed?

In the case of data transmission the purpose of transmitted power is solely to carry a piece of information from one place to another. The goal of electrical power transfer, however, is transmission and reception of power high enough to enable the operation of other electrical devices.
