no machine has one
No, an efficiency greater than one would not be possible, since that would violate a very fundamental law of physics: conservation of energy. The efficiency of an "ideal machine" would be one, in many cases; the efficiency of an ideal Carnot engine would be less than one.
Self locking machine has efficiency less than 50% but reversible machines has efficiency more than 50%
A high efficiency machine will produce more of what is it that you want with the same power as the low efficiency one. In other words, for a low efficiency machine do as much as a high efficiency one, you have to give it more power (energy).

ideal machines have mechanical efficeincy equal to 1 (100% efficient) since efficiency is the ratio of the power output to the power input
The efficiency is always less than one because some of the energy is always useless for what you want. Most wasted energy eventually turns into heat. therefore the efficiency is like a percentage with 1 being 100% a device can't be 100% efficient as some energy is wasted. To work out the efficiency of a device you need to do the total useful energy produced divided by the total energy that is inputted into the device
Mathematically, efficiency = (energy output) divided by (energy input) as a percentage. As if we couldn't figure this out for ourselves, one of the laws of Thermodynamics formally tells us "You can't get more energy out than what you put in." Applying this law to the formula for efficiency, it says that the maximum possible efficiency is 100%. However, the next law of Thermodynamics says "You can't even get that much out."
100% efficiency would mean that the machine is able to transform energy from one form into another without any loss of energy from the system in the process. For it to have greater than 100% efficiency, it would have to somehow generate additional energy, not contained in the system, in the process, and this is not possible.
It conducts for less than one half cycle of the input.
It has 100% efficiency, and one might say that the machine has replaced friction with fiction.
it means the mechanical advantage is greater.
it means the mechanical advantage is greater.
