Never claimed electrical motors are labeled engines.Can you please give me a list of electrical "engines"?
I see you're now trying to hide the secret behind these engines that break the Law of Conservation of Energy.

If I weren't spoken for I'd offer to make her a sammich.You're adorable.
For many, many years.
I know. Thanks.You're adorable.

Unfortunately being in the rust belt, not too many of those old girls are still around. My 08 Tacoma is stll doing well though.

When you google "Internal combus..." it auto completes "...ion engine" rather than motor. As a very general rule, if it's electric it's a motor, if it's anything else it's an engine. If you think about an engine in a car, the engine will run and create power, but it's incapable of motion without being attached to a transmission of some sort. A motor on the other hand (like for a power window) is capable of motion, but only when power is applied to it.Engine and motor are interchangeable now but previously would have been diferent words.
Motor is to move, engine is an ingenious device , thats from the latin origins.
I always thought of an engine as a type of motor, an internal combustion motor.
Suppose I am still right in a way, both are pretty much the same thing though.

For what it's worth, no one is pretending that if you call the thing under the hood of a car a "motor" people aren't going to know what you're talking about, I was just giving @Filthy a hard time because I know the field he works in.
It's a rough analogy, but I figured it got the point across sufficiently.Yeah I figured that alright, thought I'd throw my useless opinion in regardless.
I agree with you, although there is still motion in an engine, even if it isn't attached to a drive train, it is still converting explosive energy into mechanical energy, every piston that moves on every explosion is motion.
Its semantics man.It's a rough analogy, but I figured it got the point across sufficiently.
Its semantics man.
Interesting to look up the origins of the words for me. Funny to see semantics argued on the internet.
i put it in quotes because it's what every 16-26 yo with a Camry is going to say.When you google "Internal combus..." it auto completes "...ion engine" rather than motor.
