SUMMARY
A machine can be considered 100% efficient if all forms of energy output, such as heat, light, and sound, are utilized without any waste. Electric heating serves as a prime example of this concept, as it converts electrical energy into thermal energy with complete efficiency. Even when accounting for minor outputs like gravitational waves from moving parts, the primary focus remains on the desired energy outputs being fully harnessed.
