Motors

The word "motor" refers to any power unit that generates motion, that is a "prime
mover", while "electric motor" refers to a "prime mover using electricity." Scientifically
speaking, the electric motor is a unit used to convert electric power into motive energy
or electrical energy into mechanical energy.

1. Importance in the development of Machine

● An electric motor is a machine used to convert electrical energy to mechanical
energy.
● The importance of an electric motor is what differentiates it from a mechanical
engine.
● If you take an industry,every individual machine has an electric motor. Without it they
should try to make the products in hands and the cost will rise and we cannot get a
good quality product.
2. Importance in the development of Gadgets
● If you ever took an elevator, you had an electric motor involved. Without elevators,
skyscrapers would not be possible.
● In today's technology, everything is driven using an electric motor,your phone also
have an motor for vibration.
3. Importance in the development of Appliances
● Electric motors are important to modern-day life, being used in vacuum cleaners,
dishwashers, computer printers, fax machines, water pumps, manufacturing, cars
(both conventional and hybrid), machine tools, printing presses, subway systems,
and more.
● If you ever vacuumed your carpet, if you ever had a food processor, if you ever saw
a motorized wheelchair, if you saw an air conditioner or a ceiling fan, if you have a
refrigirator in your house, an electric motor is involved.
 B. Generators
In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motive power
(mechanical energy) into electrical power for use in an external circuit. Sources of
mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal
combustion engines, wind turbines and even hand cranks.

1. Importance in the development of Machines

● Any machine that converts mechanical energy to electricity for transmission and
distribution over power lines to domestic, commercial, and industrial customers.
Generators also produce the electrical power required for automobiles, aircraft, ships,
and trains.
2. Importance in the development of Gadgets
● The steart function of a generator is battery-operated. The battery charger keeps the
generator battery charged by supplying it with a precise ‘float’ voltage.
● This is the user interface of the generator and contains provisions for electrical outlets
and controls.
3. Importance in the development of Appliances
● They act as a backup to ensure that the appliances receive uninterrupted power supply.
In distant areas, where electricity from the main line cannot be accessed, electric
generators act as the primary source of power supply.
● Generators create electrical energy that is used to power important appliances.
