"Well since none of these components are working at 100% efficiency apparently there is room for improvement."

Few things on earth are as efficient as a high compression diesel engine. Nothing can work at 100% efficiency except a nuclear reaction.

“Nothing can work at 100% efficiency except a nuclear reaction.”

Then why do our nuclear reactors run at about 33% efficiency?

“Nothing can work at 100% efficiency except a nuclear reaction.”

If you say that a nuclear reaction is “100% efficent” then you must also state that a hydrogen explosion is 100% efficient. Apples to apples. It’s an engineering thing.
