Is it possible to run a piston using either steam or an electric motor?

You can run a piston with any sort of power, steam, hydro, electric motor.
Electric motors are often used to move a piston in pumps, but the rotary type pump is much more efficient.
Today steam is normally used to move a turbine, not a piston.
Most pistons are used in internal combustion machines and are used to capture to power of the explosion.

Will running a motor backwards generate power?
No. Motors can be run in either direction, clockwise or counter clockwise. However, mechanically spinning an electric motor will generate electric power.
What is a machine that turns mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Electric motor.
What is output of an electric motor?
An electric motor converts electrical energy to kinetic energy.
What has to occur for an electric motor to spin freely?
In order for an electric motor to spin freely you will have to make sure you have one thing. You have to have the electric current for the motor to run freely.
What causes an electric motor to stick when trying to start?
The cam shaft opens the valves for the inlet of gas/air into the piston chamber & exhaust of used fuel has a smooth rpm operating range. The proper timing of the motor to run idle is usually 600-800 rpm. While the motor is trying to start and gain rpm, the pressure from the compression of fuel lags on all other piston until the smooth idle operating rpm is reached. Making the motor lag on start up.
What electric motor does an electric car use?
A electric car uses either a DC or AC motor. Typically they use DC motors.
Describe the parts of a motor and how they use electric current to turn an axle?
The parts of a motor includes the valves,piston rings,piston and the cylinder just but to mention a few. It uses the power of the magnetic fields to convert electricity into motion.
Is it possible to control an electric motor with a servo or servo connector?
NO
What are cars with hybird and electric motors?
An electric motor is exactly that, using electricity to power itself. A hybrid motor is a mix between the conventional internal combustion engine and an electric motor, running on the electric when possible and switching to conventional when not.
How do electric windows work?
Electric Windows generally, have a switch that operates a motor. The motor raises the or lowers the window using either a system of gears or a pulley system.
What is the power source in the form of a propeller on an aircraft?
Power sources for propeller driven aircraft are usually either a gas turbine or a piston cylinder engine. There are other, obscure types, usually variations of a internal combustion engine, or an electric motor like in the Helios
What is the function of an electric motor in terms of electric power and motor?
The electric motor changes electric energy into mechanical energy.
What changes electric energy into motion?
An electric motor
What are the differences between an electric motor and an aeronautic engine?
n aeronautic engine would normally refer to a gasoline fueled piston engine used on an airplane. An electric motor is a round lump of steel with a shaft sticking out which rotates if you connect the lump properly to the correct electrical service.
What property makes electric motor possible?
Magnetism. The ATTRACTION and REPULSION of magnetic poles is the BASIC design process that makes electric motors work.
How do you make a 1998 club car go faster?
Depends if its gas or electric, either way a larger motor, in electric you can up the voltage a little
Why the motor not start if there has a gas and electric supply?
Possible Faulty wire or even a starter or alternator failure.
