How do you calculate the power requirement for both systems?

Thanks.
 
For both >what< systems?

The >what< is important because a well designed belt drive is fairly efficient, so the difference in power requirement for a belt driven >what< and a direct driven >what< is only a few percent. I.e., the power requirement of the >what< dominates.
