The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
That's called an electric motor.
Internally, they're pretty much the same. The difference is the operation expected of it - a hydraulic pump converts mechanical energy to fluid energy, whereas a hydraulic motor converts hydraulic energy to mechanical energy.
when electrical energy is supplied to the motor of an electric fan, some of the electrical energy is transferred to the fan blade as kinetic energy. The energy is also transformed from electrical to kinetic.
Solar energy is usually collected in either one of two ways:-- Photovoltaic cells deliver electricity when the sun shines on them. If youneed mechanical energy, then you use the electricity to run a motor. You canstore the solar energy from the cells in batteries, so that you can run the motoreven when the sun is not shining.-- Solar energy can be used to heat water. Really hot. Boiling even! You canthen blow the steam through the vanes of an electric turbine generator, givingyou electricity which, again, you can run motors with.
The generic term is "heat engine".
An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.
An electric motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. While an electrical generator does the opposite.
