What you are saying is finally -all energy- entering a system somehow
turns into heat without loss.(Lol - Actually,heat itself is loss).

I wish this was true because from the bill point of view, this
approach indicates that all processes done by CPU,HDD,Optical Drives
etc. is free of charge.Perhaps the reason why we plug electronic
devices to electricity is to get heat.Furthermore,to support global
warming.
