In an energy conversion that is 100% efficient, all of the available energy is converted to another form without any losses.
In reality no energy conversion is 100% efficient. An example of this is using the brakes to stop a bike. Not all of the energy that you exert on the brake levers goes into stopping the bike. Losses occur including heating of the brakes and noise (when they squeal).
Efficiency is a measure of how much useful energy can be converted from one form to another, and when calculated is more often than not expressed as a percentage.

What are the principles of direct energy conversion?
In direct energy conversion system energy source directly converted into electricity without and working fluid or steam. Direct conversion systems have no moving parts.Need:1. No conversion of energy into mechanical and to electricity.2. Less losses in conversion process.3. More efficient process4. Cost also reducedbut technology required to improve in this way.
Can energy be converted from one form into another?
Yes, any form of energy can be converted into any other form, although the conversion process is not 100% efficient and there will be some energy lost.
How can I provide inexpensive, energy efficient Lighting to my home?
You can go to www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/myhome to read about inexpensive, energy efficient Lighting . Another good website is www.green-energy-efficient-homes.com/energy-efficient-lighting.html
What is a comparison of the amount of energy before conversion with the amount of useful energy after conversion?
Energy Efficiency
Which energy conversion occurs in a battery-powered flashlight?
The conversion is from chemical energy to electricity to light energy.
Which level in energy conversion is most efficient?
no
What is the energy efficiency of energy conversion in a cow?
There are many energy efficient cells working in the energy conservation in a cow. These include sleeping an extra amount to digest food.

What does percentage energy efficiency mean?
I would assume it means that the more efficient it is, the less energy it intakes and the more efficient the system is at retaining the energy it intakes.
What is mass potential energy?
Matter can be created from energy, and vice versa. When condensing matter from energy, that energy is stored in the mass, which can later be converted back into energy. Derived from Einsteins equation, the conversion is m=E/c^2. Conversion of a matter anti-matter reaction is 100% efficient.
Can energy be converted from one form into another?
Yes, any form of energy can be converted into any other form, although the conversion process is not 100% efficient and there will be some energy lost.
What does smart materiel mean?
Smart material is energy efficient.
What do you mean by energy convertionS?
Energy conversion simply means that one type of energy is converted to another type of energy.
What does the abbreviation ACEEE mean?
American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy
Is a wind turbine energy efficient?
YES But only if you don't consider the massive amounts of energy required to make the wind turbine and get it into position. The actual energy conversion from wind to electricity is not great but it is free.
What dose efficient mean?
Efficient (Adj) It means able to produce effect wanted without wasting time or energy.
What causes a motor to become hot when running?
What motors do is to convert one type of energy into another type of energy. And as that conversion is never 100% efficient, some of the energy is turned into heat, which heats up the motor.
