Does oil lubricate motors?
Yes, oil is used to lubricate internal combustion engines. Grease is used to lubricate electric motors. =========================================================== I have always used non detergent oil in my ELECTRIC MOTORS and grease for the bearings if there is a grease fitting
How did the first automobile work?
Some used steam-powered engines, others used early petrol or gas engines. Some even used battery-powered electric motors.
What runs train engines?
Train engines today are usually powered by diesel fuel, which is burned in conventional internal combustion diesel engines, which turn electric generators, which produce electricity that is used to drive electric motors that drive the wheels.
Tell you about diesel electric engines?
It is used on extremely heavy vehicles such as dump trucks in a mine or locomotive. The design is: a diesel engine drives a electric generator. Then the electricity is distributed to electric motors that drive the road wheels. This design eliminates clutches, gearboxes and drive shafts. Today, some ships have similar design. The difference is the electric motors drive propellers instead of road wheels.
What is the difference between ethanol cars and electric cars?
Ethanol is a combustible fluid, which is burned in internal combustion engines just as gasoline is. Electric cars (not hybrids) do not run on internal combustion engines, they run on electricity provided by batteries, which is used to operate electric motors. Hybrids have both features, they can run on fuel or on electricity.
What is an explanation for how a modern diesel or electric locomotive develops power?
Modern diesel electric motors are actually hybrids engines. The electric motor is used whenever possible to conserve fuel, and the diesel engine provided power for hill climbs and acceleration,
What are reciprocating engines?
Reciprocating engines are very big engines. Instead of a motor just spinning the propeller, electric arms would move up and down circling around the propeller line spinning it. These kind of engines were used on the titanic.
What are magnets used for in cars?
electric motors mainly.
What is neodymium used for?
used in the electronic motors of electric and hybrid automobiles
What is neodymium for?
used in the electronic motors of electric and hybrid automobiles
Which type of magnet is used in electric motors?
Permanent magnets or electromagnets are typically used in electric motors. Permanent magnets provide a constant magnetic field, while electromagnets have a magnetic field that can be controlled by the flow of electric current.
How are magnets used in cars?
There are magnets found in most electric motors which are throughout your car eg electric window motors. They are also in your alternator. I assume that they are also used in the needles on your dashboard too.
