The Prehistory of Jazz. The Africanization of American Music. An elderly black man sits astride a large cylindrical drum. Using his fingers and the edge of his hand, he jabs repeatedly at the drum head--which is around a foot in diameter and probably made from an animal skin--evoking a throbbing pulsation with rapid, sharp strokes.
nope, efficiency o fa machine cannot be greater than 100%...theoretically it shows sometime that efficiency of a machine can be 100%, but practically it cannot be possible as â¦ there is some loss of energy is always involved in different ways. Answer   In order for a machine to be 100% efficient, the amount of energy going into it has to be precisely equal to the energy the machine is putting out-with nothing lost.
Furnaces have become more energy-efficient over the years. A gas furnace made in the early 1970s typically has an AFUE of about 65 percent. The lowest efficiency allowed by law for new gas furnaces is 78 percent, and some new models achieve 97 percent--near-total efficiency.The price of a furnace generally rises in step with its fuel efficiency.fficiency also matters. Gas is currently the most common heating fuel and most new central-heating systems use gas. How efficiently a furnace converts gas into heating energy is reflected in its annual fuel-utilization-efficiency (AFUE) rating, which is measured as a percentage.
