No, there is not such thing as an ideal machine; it's just an idea.
Such a machine would have an efficiency of 100% and, as the question suggests, it would be a miracle. No real machine is 100% efficient because there are always losses.
The relationship between friction and the efficiency of a machine is when friction increases, efficiency decreases, and vice versa. That is why you can never have 100% efficiency, because there is always at least a little friction. They are inversely proportional, meaning, higher friction equals less efficiency.
Efficiency is the ratio of the energy converted into useful work by the machine to the energy supplied to the machine. Certainly it will not be possible to convert all the energy supplied into useful work because of wastage of energy due to so many reasons. So efficiency will be always less than 1. As the efficiency becomes more the loss would become less. Hence it is desirable.

Because there is always going to be friction, the efficiency of any machine will always be less then 100 percent.

nope, efficiency o fa machine cannot be greater than 100%...theoretically it shows sometime that efficiency of a machine can be 100%, but practically it cannot be possible as there is some loss of energy is always involved in different ways.
frictionIn real machines, as opposed to ideal machines, there is always friction that reduces the efficiency of the machine. Lubricants like oil can be used to reduce friction and improve efficiency.

No physical machine is ideal. Friction is always a loss of energy.
The laws of thermodynamics imply that there will always be some loss of efficiency.

The mechanical efficiency can't be over 100% because a type of energy is always lost. For example, it can be lost as heat, sound or even light. When you use a light bulb, it produces light, but heat is lost in the process. See what I mean! In most cases, heat is lost due to friction. the work put out by a machine is always less than the work put into a machine to do the work. Therefore no machine is 100% efficient. As well.... Efficiency is (power out/power in) x 100. To get an efficiency of *more* than 100%, the machine must give more power out than is put in. No machine has ever been demonstrated that does this, and until someone can show this result (power out *more* than power in), we know that any machine has an efficiency less than 100%.
It is always less than 100% Theoretical machines can have efficiencies of 100% but in practice there is always some energy loss Efficiencies of more than 100% are not allowed by the laws of thermodynamics!
