    I’m not an expert but, would it be that one kind of energy can’t be 100% transformed to just one other kind of energy? That in any translation the result is always more than one kind of energy?

      No, it just means there is at least some going into heat in thermodynamic processes. Inevitable with atoms jostling in macroscopic systems.

        And in case of a heater, some energy is going to be converted into light and sound and probably other stuff that I don’t know.
