What must you know in order to calculate a machine's efficiency?

The efficiency tells you how good the machine is. Efficiency equals the power output of the machine divided by the power that is input via a shaft, or via electrical wires, or via fuel. So if the machine has a low efficiency it wastes power and energy, which costs money. The average ordinary automobile has an efficiency of 20-25%. A lot of research work goes into improving that figure.


Does an electric can opener convert electric energy sound energy?

Not likely - any machine wastes some energy; that would reduce the useful output energy.

Which engine wastes the most energy?

I would say, heat engine on earth would waste the most energy since it is always limited by thermodynamic efficiency to have some loss. In general, lower the temperature difference will resulted to lower the efficiency, a simple steam engine for a train would be of lower efficiency than a internal combustion engine and lower than complex high pressure steam turbine and is probably the lowest engine efficiency in commercial scale.
