Engine vs Motor
I say "tuh-mey-toh", you say "tuh-mah-toh" :Peace:
I say "engine", you say "motor" :confused: Engine: "A motor car (automobile) has a starter motor and motors to drive pumps (fuel, power steering, etc) – but the power plant that propels the car is called an engine." Let the friendly discussions begin :) ...... :nono: :flamed: please ...... |
I use the terms interchangeably. When I'm back home with my VERY southern family, I generally say motor. Otherwise I usually say engine.
|
I use it interchangeably too cuz we have them hybrids and electric cars now

This thread topic is like a debate on calling someone gay or homo...

I was raised that it's an internal combustion engine. Electric is a motor.

I always call it engine, but then, I'm an Engineer. ;)
|
Engine? Motor? I thought we had Doritos rotating inside of peanuts. There's actually a name for it?
|
I usually say Engine, but I still randomly say Motor. They are the same thing to me!
|
An engine is a device which produces kinetic energy from a fuel source; a motor is a device which produces kinetic energy from other forms of energy such as electricity, a flow of hydraulic fluid or compressed air.
|
Nah, we all know engines and motors are just glorified heat pumps. ;)
Motor is typically more associated with electric's. 'Motivator' derivative and the electrial opposite of Generator. |
I called it piston.

Motor sounds very southern and only muscle car owners use that term.
But for electric stuff I say motor because it sounds appropriate (same thing as Easy said.) |
The Brits call a MOTOR the whole car, How's your Bloody MOTA
