Someone posted a thread on another forum about the difference between the term engine and motor. Got me thinking.
I wrote simply engine = combustion, motor = electric. Eventhough, everyone, including General MOTORS, uses the word motor to describe engines. |
Quote:
Motor from the Latin root movere, to move or impart motion. Quote:
Motor Craft Best Motoring Department of Motor Vehicles ... The mistake is the assumption that motor refers exclusively to an electrical motor. However, what I DID NOT know when we were considering names is that Motorgen was a common vernacular term for Motor Generator. My thought was Motor Generation, as in the technical and mechanized world, apart from previous millennia of human existence. |
I didn't know that either, wouldn't worry too much.
