Look up the Third Law of Thermodynamics.

Thanks Mariss,
Yes, I think I have an open mind.

I know this, it's not going to be 100% efficient. If we could get 15% conversion efficiency it might be worthwhile.
Look up the Third Law of Thermodynamics.
I'm afraid to, I think there might be calculus involved.
