You misunderstood. For comparison, a typical cheap AC has an efficiency (coefficient of performance) of 300%. For every 1W consumed, the AC moves 3W.

- pishpash 3y agoThat's an AC. This is a heat engine run normally. You're not getting >= 100%.

- thsksbd 3y agoThe "over 100% efficiency" is technically incorrect, but the OP is right. Carnot limits the efficiency to make work from a thermal process (much less then 100%, in fact). Carnot does not prohibit you from enjoying the inefficiencies as waste heat.
