At last. Why didn't you state this first?

But good to see you admit you were wrong all this time.


He's not wrong. Producing heat from other forms of energy is one
thing you can do with 100% efficiency, certainly given time for
equilibration. There are no theoretical limitations from
thermodynamics.


So you stand by his claim that an electric convector heater is 100%
efficient? Just curious.


I said some are, not all are. Oil filled ones that overheat, glow red
hot & catch fire may have more heat output than input



And those that simply expand? As all will?
