Window ac power cord flat type

Was wanting to know if 16 gauge or 14 gauge would affect recovery rate?. What recovery would those be?.

I don't specifically have anything for ac cords but the 10 gauge heavy duty electric dryer cords are about 45% copper recovery by weight.

Recovery of 16 gauge ac cords would be a fair amount less.

Oh ok that's the same type basically only bigger. Darn was hoping to get num 2 instead of 3 oh well I have lots more coming so it's going to add up. Thanks
