The term Motors corresponds to the plural of the word motor and according to the use that is given to it, various questions may be referred.
That which produces the satisfactory movement of something
In general terms, by motor refers to what produces movement. Meanwhile, the term will also be used to refer to that, for example an element or a person who achieves the functioning according to something, in some sense and situation. For example, an organ of our body such as the heart it is vital for many important functions and then the lives of individuals will depend on it. Its correct and expected operation is what allows us to live and move.
Search engines: computer systems that are in charge of finding files that are stored on the web
On the other hand, In contexts such as computing, the term engine is used to refer to the development of certain tasks, such as the famous search engine.
Those of us who use new technologies, especially the Internet, have surely gotten tired of listening talk about these search engines, so used by the way, by the millions of users that the network of networks.

Classification of engines
There are different types of motors, the most common being the following: electrical (work is obtained through a electric current), thermal (work is obtained through thermal energy), internal combustion (It is a heat engine in which the engine fluid combusts, transforming the chemical energy in thermal energy) and external combustion (It is also thermal and produces a combustion in a fluid other than engine fluid).
In addition, the engines are distinguished between the following styles, starting motor (the one that meshes with the main engine in a car), of explosion (It works through the energy produced by the combustion of a mixture of air and gasoline), reaction (produces movement by expelling a jet of gases that it emits), diesel (that of explosion in which the fuel ignites by the compression to which the air is subjected in the combustion chamber and does not need spark plugs), outboard (small, two-stroke, with a propeller that is located at the stern of some boats) and turbodiesel (It has a turbocharger that moves thanks to a turbine).
