What is the principle of electric locomotives?
Electric motors turn the wheels, and power is gotten from an external source ... most often by way of overhead wires or a "third" rail.
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 energy source does a train use to move?
A diesel engine creates electricity and the electricity powers the electric motors that drive the wheels
Do motors have batteries?
No, electric motors do not have batteries.Most electric motors are powered from the AC power grid.Power tools and other portable devices using electric motors have batteries, but the electric motors in the tools and devices do not themselves have batteries.

What is a hybrid vechicle?
A hybrid vehicle uses two or more motors and the motors are different types. The hybrid cars selling now have a petrol engine and one or more electric motors. The petrol engine can drive the wheels as in a normal car, and can also drive a big alternator which charges large batteries. The electric motor or motors run from the battery and drive the wheels too. For maximum power, both the petrol engine and the electric motors are selected to drive the wheels, but this tends to flatten the batteries faster than they are being charged. For cruising, only the electric motors are used and the petrol engine drives only the alternator. It runs at maximum efficiency loads and speeds to recharge or keep the batteries fully charged. The economy gains come from two facts. The petrol engine is relatively small and running at maximum efficiency nearly all the time. The electric system of alternator, battery and motors is far more efficient than an equivalent petrol powered machine anyway.
Difference between steam trains and electric trains?
It takes pressurized steam to move the Pistons in a steam train. It takes a generator to produce electricity to power the motors on his (trucks) wheels on an electric train.
How the electro locomotive runs?
Electric motors are geared to the wheels. Electric power is gotten from some external source (via third rail or overhead wire). {Except for a few battery powered locomotives.}
Which models manufactured by Lincoln use an electric motor?
All of Lincoln's motors are electric, as electric motors have always been their specialty. Lincoln began making electric motors in 1895 and joined Leeson Electric in 2006.
How does the Mars rover move around Mars?
On wheels, driven by electrical motors. It moves very slowly, transmitting pictures and data to an orbiting relay station and then to Earth; controllers on Earth review the data, and transmit new commands to the Mars rovers. Think of it as the solar system's slowest radio-controlled toy car.
