Thermal Energy
An engine.
No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.
A motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical energy is called a heat engine. Heat engines operate by using a temperature difference to generate work, such as a steam engine or an internal combustion engine. The thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy through the expansion of a working fluid.
An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.
because it converts thermal energy to mechanical works
An internal combustion engine converts chemical energy into Thermal Energy, and converts thermal energy into mechanical energy via the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft .
Almost every mechanical device converts some of its mechanical energy to thermal energy. Some examples I can think of at the moment are: -- drill bit -- saw blade -- file
