Just as a made up example - with a space heater, you could get 1000 watts of heat from 1000 watts of electricity, or you can move 1500 watts of heat with 1000 watts of electricity with a heat pump.
Ohh okay, well yeah if you count heat pumps that’s another story. I was only thinking in terms of energy generation (usually from burning something or electrical resistance).
Thanks for the video, I think I saw that channel once and it was interesting so I look forward to watching it later. It’s been a long time since my thermochem course so it’ll be good to revisit some concepts.
Because in the most efficient systems, you aren’t creating heat, you’re moving heat.

It’s pretty neat.
