- To expand on this, the closer you can run a Mills cell to 1.48V, the greater
- the ratio of excess heat you might be able to claim. At 1.49V and 100%
- recombination, you could claim 14800% excess heat. At exactly 1.48V with
- 100% recombination, you could claim infinite heat gain (note infinite *gain*
- rather than infinite *heat*, as there is quite a difference in concepts!)
-
- So let me ask a question. Is there any Mills cell anywhere in the world that
- produces more excess heat than the limit set by 1.48*I? If not, one might
- want to wonder why not.
