How a machine transforms energy into waste energy?

A machine transforms energy into waste energy through the process of converting the energy into different forms, such as heat, sound, or vibration, that are not useful for the machine's intended purpose. This waste energy is typically released into the environment as a byproduct of the machine's operation, leading to inefficiencies in the energy conversion process.
