Answer for mechanical systems:

Use oil or grease to reduce friction!

Answer for electrical systems:

Making the voltage as high as possible is a good way to reduce power loss.

Explanation

The voltage drop along a conductor is proportional to the resistance and to the current carried. (V=IxR) So, for a given quantity of Power (W=VxI), if the voltage is made as high as possible there will be less current flowing and therefore less power loss.

Why would you want to decrease the power consumption of an integrated circuit?

you would want to decrease the power consumption of an integrated circuit to reduce power needed and at the same time reduce power dissipation meaning it will run cooler if overall power is reduced. With some families of logic circuits the voltage must be maintained at 5 volts for proper applications. The voltage applied determines the power that can be used effectively.
