Best Answer

In steam and combustion engines, thermal energy is changed to mechanical energy.

Either heated gas or heated fluid is created that exerts force to turn the engine. In combustion engines, chemical energy becomes thermal energy which becomes mechanical energy.

In electrical engines (motors), electrical energy is changed to mechanical energy by the manipulation of magnetic fields.
