If a machine is never 100% efficient transforming energy into work because part of the energy is converted into heat, does it mean an electric heater is 100% efficient? @showerthoughts@lemmy.world

    What are you confused about?
    That’s why they phrased it “also basically 100% efficient space heaters.”

    Every electric device is a something% effective whatever work they are meant for device, but ALSO a 100% effective space heater.
    That second part is meaningless to the devices normal function, but very relevant to the post question.
