Thermal Energy
An engine.
No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.
An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.
because it converts thermal energy to mechanical works
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 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
