    Read the thread before you open your pie hole. His ENGINE doesn't have enough. Motors are electric.

    The word "motor" refers to anything that provides motive force to an object. You'll notice that rockets are commonly referred to (by Ph.D. rocket scientists) as MOTORS.

    An engine is something that takes one for of energy and converts it into another, or something that produces some sort of work or energy from a given input.

    Car engines are both engines and motors. It converts chemical energy into mechanical energy, making it an engine, and it also moves the car, making it a motor.

    Electrical motors could even be considered engines, since they take electrical energy and convert it into mechanical energy.
    Even a generator or alternator is an engine; it is still producing work or energy from a mechanical input.

    Consider motor oil,motor mount.
