    see I’ve been wondering if a heat pump system could heat an oven hot enough to bake bread. use environmental heat to manufacture Wonder Bread or something.

      I don’t see why it shouldn’t be able to. You might need concentric shells depending on the power of the heat pump.

        I don’t see either but I know you can’t. Otherwise we would have an infinite energy glitch

          I don’t see how? Using heat pumps to concentrate heat doesn’t seem like a violation of any thermodynamic laws?

            Heat pumps are 500% efficient. Put a steam engine at the end, efficient at 30%. You just got free energy
