No, it is spinning physics that does not work - physics *is* simple as long
as one does not skip the linkage between different things:
Econsumed = Econsumed_productive + Qreleased + Wreqired
Econsumed_productive is what you actually used
Qreleased is the energy released in a form of a increase/decrease heat
Wrequired is the work required to get Econsumed.
