Hi! So a gas compressor is a device which has a lot of moving parts, and what it does is it takes gas at low pressure and discharges it at a higher pressure. And these compressors are usually piston type or rotary centrifugal type — or of many different types of compressors. The efficiency of these machines, depending on the type of the compressor, is between 70 to 85%.

What does it mean? It means for every 100 units of energy that is provided to the machine, only 70 to 85% is output as useful work. The rest of it is lost as useless energy or heat.

Now, I am going to leave you with another thought. This mind that you have is a device that has no moving parts in it. Now take time as a resource. If you take time as a resource and calculate how efficiently the mind uses time to make useful work, you will be shocked. The efficiency of the mind is well below 70%. It is less than a compressor.

There are ways to improve the efficiency of the mind, and that is to get it to relax every day. Meditation is the answer.
