How many cylinders in train?
It depends on the type of train. A steam powered train only needs on cylinder. Modern trains are actually run by electric motors! The motors are powered by powerful diesel engines that generate electricity as the motors need it.
What do generators and motors have in common?
Electric motors and generators are electromagnetic devices that are the opposite of each other. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, while electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is multi speed motor?
Some electric motors have windings enabling them to run at different speeds.
How many states use electric trains?
Every locomotive, freight and Amtrak use Diesel engines that run electric generators that power motors aka "Trucks" that power the drive wheels. This eliminates the need for a transmission
What type of energy makes a train move?
This depends on the type of train. There are diesel trains, electric trains. Electric trains are run by electricity through motors.
How does electrical energy produce a form of energy we use?
It can be run through a resistor to produce heat, as in a convector heater, tumble dryer, toaster. It can be used to run electric lights, and it can be used to drive electric motors that produce mechanical energy.
Can air motors be run using compressed air storage cylinders?
Yes a company called MDI is working on an air powered car
What are cruise ship main engines?
Most cruise ships are run by electric motors. Several large gas turbine engines produce power for the electric motors. Thre turbines also produce all the ships elctrical power as well.
In the future what fuel will cars be run by?
water, electric, air.
You have an electric forced air furnace and central air. why does the central air fan run when furnace comes on?
You must have a heat pump with electric auxilliary heat.
What does a Toyota hybrid run on?
A Toyota Hybrid vehicle requires gasoline to run. It employs a conventional petrol engine alongside (usually) two electric motors and a HV (High Voltage) battery. It automatically switches between the petrol engine and the electric motors (or both simultaneously using a hybrid transaxle) in order to create drive.
What are facts about about electric cars?
they run on electric motors instead of combustion engines. and you will never get enough money out as you put in. batteries dont last long enough
