    The document contains a Sankey diagram showing the energy flows in a motor. [1] It shows 60 joules of electrical energy input producing 42 joules of mechanical energy output and 18 joules of thermal energy. [2] Another Sankey diagram compares three types of light bulbs - a filament lamp, LED lamp, and CFL lamp. The CFL lamp is shown to be the most efficient because it uses the least electrical energy (10 joules) to produce the same amount of light energy (1.1 joules) as the others, emitting the least amount of heat (8.9 joules) as thermal energy.
