768. EFFICIENCIES OF OVER 100 PER CENT. Now it is customary amongst engineers to say that an efficiency of over 100 per cent is impossible. So when a process crops up in engineering that has an efficiency of over 100 per cent engineers divide the efficiency by 100 and call the result 'coefficient of performance' or C.O.P. This is just pure cowardice. When the Almighty gives us a process where we get something for nothing, and whereby we can turn useless Btu into useful Btu why should we not welcome the process with open arms and boldly proclaim a three figure efficiency, instead of shamefacedly hiding it up and calling C.O.P.? The refrigerator or heat pump are not the only machines with efficiencies of over 100 per cent. We have seen in Chapter 17 that the multiple effect evaporator can also have an efficiency of several hundred per cent. The purists say that it is impossible to get something for nothing. This is not the case. There are several processes where something can be obtained for nothing as far as we mortals are concerned. If one sits in the sun the process of warming clearly has an efficiency approaching infinity. The mining of coal is a process having a thermal efficiency of many hundred per cent. The damming of a river to give water power is a similar process. We can now begin to see what it is that constitutes a process of over 100 per cent efficiency. It is the collection and making available of God's gifts. The damming of a river, the getting of coal, sitting in the sun, the heat pump are all processes where we make heat provided by the sun more available. It is only when we come to use this heat energy that we fall down so badly.
769. HEAT PUMP TEMPERATURE RANGE. Clearly the smaller the difference of temperature over which a refrigerator or a heat pump works, the smaller need be the power put into the compressor. So we must keep the top temperature T1 as low as possible and the bottom temperature T2 as high as possible. This is exactly the opposite of what we do when devising a heat engine cycle. If the temperature difference T1 - T2 were very small the efficiency of a heat engine would be negligible but that of a heat pump would be thousands per cent."

From the Report "The Efficient Use of Steam" by Oliver Lyle, published by His Majesty's Stationery Office London 1947. There are 912 pages, which include hundreds of descriptive drawings, diagrams, tables, charts and graphs etc.
In these three foregoing sections Lyle gives an accurate and similar description of an Adams thermo motor generator which involves reverse engineering technologies where, in the Adams machine, the reverse engineering manifests in measurements of 800 - 1 and THOUSANDS of per cent.
In relation to the description of the heat pump and the warming engine by Lyle, it is to be noted that today's term of "reverse engineering" had not yet entered the lexicon of Kelvin's time in the 18th Century! Although Kelvin exercised reverse engineering way back then he was unable to term it as such. In many ways this proves that man has not significantly improved upon results obtained in the 18th century, except in a case where we have a device equal to that of the Adams Thermo Motor Generator which, in addition to operating in the thousands of per cent arena, also operates in the area of manifesting energy "additively and accumulatively" with time i.e., in the condition known as "unity/infinity".
Excepting for the success of attaining "unity", it is significant that nobody else has previously recognised this most important historical fact - that man has still failed to improve on what our predecessor pioneers of over 300 odd years ago achieved even with their "flintstone" devices.
