It's a very interesting concept - best discussed over pints at the pub on a Sunday afternoon along with over unity devices and the sad lack of adoption of bubble memory.
Put another way, there is no way around the fact that a "non-reversible car" has to have friction loss because the brakes work on friction. But there is no theoretical limit to how far you can reduce friction in reversible driving.
An ideal reversible computer also works arbitrarily slowly. To make it go faster, you need to put energy in. You can make it go arbitrarily slowly with arbitrarily little energy, just like a non-reversible car.
A train spends much less on that because the rails and the wheels are very firm. A maglev train likely recuperates nearly 100% of its kinetic energy during deceleration, less the aerodynamic losses; it's like a superconducting reversible circuit.
The Falling Edge, maybe? The Doped Wafer?
(I once read a fiction story about someone who, instead of having perfect pitch, had perfect winding number: he couldn't get to sleep before returning to zero, so it took him some time to realise that when other people talked about "unwinding" at the end of the day, they didn't mean it literally)
