by rule, an inboard, internal-combustion powerplant either reciprocating or gas turbine.
the part of a locomotive that converts energy into mechanical work.
An apparatus or machine for converting some form of energy into mechanical power for the doing of useful work.
a machine designed to convert energy into mechanical work such as the internal-combustion engine. The Rail motors used petrol and eventually diesel engines as their power source. (see diesel engine)
The propulsion device which operates using gasoline & combustion.
A device that converts one source of energy into mechanical energy. A device that uses fuel to produce mechanical power.
A device for changing fuel energy to mechanical energy. The term applies to the primary source of power generation. Also see engine types.
A machine that uses combustion to create energy. An airplane will normally either have jet engines or engines that drive one or more propellers. In either case, the engines provide the thrust force that pushes the airplane through the air.
A device that burns fuel to produce mechanical power; to convert heat energy into mechanical energy.
motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work
a wheeled vehicle consisting of a self-propelled engine that is used to draw trains along railway tracks
a carefully harnessed burning/explosion of fuel
a combo-deck term that describes how you convert one resource into another
a device for converting fuel into motive power
a device which converts thermal energy to mechanical energy
a device which converts thermal energy to mechanical motion
a fuel powered mechanical device for providing power to an RC driveline
a machine that converts a form of energy into mechanical force
a mechanical device that releases the energy stored in the fuel in a form that can be harnessed to propel a race car - along with heat and byproducts that go out the exhaust pipes
a unit of power with or without cars moved by any form of energy
a work machine that converts energy in a chemical form to mechanical energy for the performance of work
A machine that converts heat energy into mechanical energy.
The engine, motor or outside hydraulic sources are the energy sources that drive the high-pressure pump. Which is better for you? In short, gasoline models are for outdoor use and are much more portable. Electric models are not as portable, but are quiet and ideal for indoor use. Diesel engines are more durable and have longer lifetime.
A machine that converts energy into mechanical force or motion. Sources of energy include, for example, heat, chemical reaction, or potential energy of elevated water.
A unit or combination of units propelled by any form of energy, and operated from a single control, used in train or yard service. The word "engine" may also be used to identify control cars.
an internal combustion machine that provides motivational power
A unit propelled by any form of energy or a combination of such units operated from a single control, used in train or yard service.
In spacecraft, a rocket or thruster that burns liquid propellants and can be throttled to adjust thrust.
The term used to refer to the device which runs on gasoline, utilizing combustion to push pistons to deliver power.
The primary motor or power apparatus of a car, which converts liquid or gas fuel into mechanical energy.
A machine designed to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy to produce force or motion. Connected to a drivetrain, an engine's mechanical energy, or torque, moves a vehicle. An engine can run by using gas, diesel fuel, steam or other fuel sources.
n: a machine for converting the heat content of fuel into rotary motion that can be used to power other machines. Compare motor.
The engine or motor is the energy source powers the high-pressure pump. Gas models are for outdoor use and are more portable. Electric models are tied to a power source, but are quiet and easy to store inside, since fumes are not a concern. Diesel-powered engines are the most durable, and have the longest working life.
at college I was taught an engine is an internal combustion power plant & a motor an electrical power plant
the part of the airplane that provides the power for take-off and landing and supports flight
A mechanical device that provides flight power (thrust) by means of internal combustion. The two main types of engines in R/C are the gasoline engine (which burns a gasoline/oil mix) and the more common glow engine (one that burns a nitromethane fuel). Glow types include 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines.
a machine for producing mechanical power, e.g., for rotating or reciprocating a member, from pressure energy of a fluid.
A device for changing fuel energy to mechanical energy. The term applies to the primary source of power generation. An engine physically converts potential energy contained in some kind of fuel to kinetic energy, a rotating movement of the wheels.
The part of the airplane which provides power, or propulsion, to pull the airplane through the air.
A type of engine that has a motor mounted inside the vessel and attached through the transom to a drive shaft that runs through the transom and turns a propeller at the other end; also called inboard/outboard engines (I/O)
A device that converts heat into mechanical energy.
Sailboats are equipped with a variety of engines, but all of them work on the internal destruction principle, in which highly machined parts are rapidly converted into low-grade scrap, producing in the process energy in the form of heat, which is used to boil bilge water; vibration, which improves the muscle tone of the crew; and a small amount of rotational force, which drives the average size sailboat at sppeds approaching a furlong per fortnight.
