Allow me to quote Nikola Tesla :

The Carnot limit is self incrementing as a consequence of its own ridiculousness.

You certainly have a flair for contradiction. You are using theory incorrectly. I was merely correcting your mathematics.
If you use mathematics correctly, it won't stray from reality. Tesla and you, are experimentalists. If you need "experimental proof" (An oxymoron, mathematical proof yes, experimental data yes, is not proof.), you'll need to design your own experiments to convince yourself that the theory is sound.
Tesla, friends with Einstein, was complaining about Relativity, which, at the time, had no experimental data backing it. Now it appears Tesla was wrong about Relativity too, along with his erroneous second law denial. Tesla was not educated in theoretical mathematics. We don't expect him to excell in theory.
It is not sufficient to discard theory because you don't understand it or use it wrong. It is required that you use theory correctly and do understand it, before discarding it.
The following quote says it all: "Theory is never wrong, if it's wrong, you are just using the wrong theory." I'd like to add, or you are using it wrong.

As far as I know, the oil companies and politicians had no influence on what I've learned, by education and research. There were no big oil companies during the time Carnot, Kelvin and others were formulating the second law.
What you are attempting to do is suppress good theorizing by good scientists out of your own wishful thinking and paranoia. I despise big oil too, and they do suppress things. The Carnot limit isn't one of those. I'm not paranoid of big oil or USA politics.
I might be paranoid of ignorance. The Internet has opened up a gigantic power of communication for very ignorant people. It becomes obvious from contradiction, fear monitoring, offers to good to be true, erroneous science use, and science denial, not to mention out and out lying.
If you don't believe that, study up on the cognitive dissonance inherent in the Flat Earth believers. If you are a Flat Earth believer, I wish you well in your pursuits and far away from me.
When you start using profanity and name calling in your discourse with others, you have defeated any chance you may have had for understanding. Your point becomes moot. Your personal experience becomes useless. People will be entertained by your floundering, and wish you well and far away. You may have a valid point but people won't care anymore.
I wrote this because I still care. Please don't make me regret it.
