Uh-huh. Soooo… to take my second hypothetical, where half the energy went out as electricity, w(e), (and, of course, in the inevitable normal course of thermodynamic entropic things ends up as heat somewhere), and half is “waste” heat variously distributed about the rig and housing, which you assiduously measure and call w(t), the ratio would be w(e) = w(t), and therefore the “efficiency” would be 100%!!

Nice work if you can get it. (That’s a physics pun, BTW 😉 )!
