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.
A machine that converts one form of energy into another form is called a transducer.

Energy conversion takes place when one form of energy is converted to another form. An example would a turbine, which converts heat energy to mechanical energy, or a generator which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, or an electric motor which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. In all conversion processes energy is lost (i.e. it is converted to heat at a low temperature). The useful power output of a machine is always less than the power input, by a ratio called the efficiency, usually expressed as a percentage. Typical efficiency for an electric motor is 95%, for a car engine 25%.

The efficiency ratio for a machine usually refers to the ratio of the useful energy available from a machine and the energy put into it.

Washing machine converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. It helps in washing the clothes.
A furnace or a burner.

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).
