I have a window air conditioner that you could call 1050% efficient. It takes a kW of electricity to move 10.5kW of heat from inside to outside. But that's a stupid way to define efficiency, so we say it has a Coefficient of Performance of 10.5.
Yeah, any claims of efficiency of > 100% are either marketing shenanigans or outright falsehoods.
I don't expect to see revolutionary developments in electric motor efficiency. But if there were a breakthrough, I'd expect to hear about it from the New York Times or a journal, not YouTube.
