Motors and generators.

Motors may be electrically powered or spring powered. When steam or fuel powered they are usually referred to as engines.

Generators may be motor or engine driven, water driven or wind driven, and even animal driven.

Waterwheels, turbines and windmills would also be rotating machines.

There are rotating machines that cycle over and back, as opposed to a continuous rotation; an example is the rotary solenoid.

In which chapter of BS 7671 would you find reference to rotating machines?

Well, darling, if you want to find information on rotating machines in BS 7671, you better flip to Chapter 41. That's where you'll get all the juicy details on those spinning contraptions. So, go ahead and give it a whirl!


Why are transformer more efficient than a rotating electric machine?

Transformers inherently do not have frictional losses, but transformers and rotating machines perform completely different functions, so I'm not sure it is fair to compare them. Transformers are used to transform electric energy (the input is electric energy, and the output is electric energy). Rotating machines either take electric energy and convert it to mechanical/kinetic energy, or take kinetic energy and convert it to electric energy.

What is the difference between drilling and boring machines?

Drilling machines are used to create holes in a workpiece, while boring machines are used to enlarge or smooth out existing holes. Drilling machines typically use rotating drill bits to create holes, while boring machines use single-point cutting tools to enlarge existing holes to precise dimensions.
