Every time I see someone with a creative new engine design, I can't help
but ask how much waste heat it produces. For the most part, you either
get usable output or waste heat from an engine. What's the ratio
please? If they can't answer the question, or get all evasive, or start
talking about space aliens or USING LOTS OF CAPS AND EXCLAMATION
POINTS!!!!! then you pretty much have the score.
