It would make it 100% efficient like it already was.

Christ almighty, the lefty****s here are displaying an amazing total
lack of understanding of the basic physics of heating, just like they do
in the real world...no wonder we have wind turbines with these ****s
voting for people like themselves in government.

Do you really care whether your tank reaches thermal equilibrium in 3
minutes or 4 minutes?



While some here may like to discuss physics there are others that are

I don't think they (those left brainers) can help it, it's just how
they are wired (so how they react is sort of to be expected).

And the irony is that they can't see what they are, only the right
brainers can. ;-)
