The word machine is a word that has a recurring use in our language since it names the apparatus, artifact, composed of a set of mechanisms and parts, both fixed and mobile, whose movement allows directing, regulating, or failing that, changing the Energy to carry out a job with a certain mission.
Device that performs a job or task
The distinctive feature of these devices is that they are capable of admitting various forms of energy and then modifying them in order to achieve a specific effect.
Components (edit)
Although it may vary depending on the type of machine in question, most machines have the following components: motor (It is the device that facilitates the modification of the energy to achieve the work for which the machine is intended), mechanism (These are mechanical elements that what they do is transform the energy sent by the motor into the desired effect), frame (It is an essential rigid structure to ensure the link between all the elements and it also has the mission of supporting both the mechanism and the motor) and
components of safety(They do not contribute anything to the work of the machine per se because their mission is to protect the people who work with the machine; at this point and to add to the required safety conditions, it is essential to carry out periodic maintenance checks to guarantee the good performance of the machine).Machine classes
There are different types of machines in relation to the source of energy that moves them to carry out their work, such as: manual machines (this type of machine needs human hands to work), electric machines (transform the Kinetic energy in another type of energy, such as: generators, motors and transformers), thermal machines (are those that allow the exchange of energy from an axis that causes the intervening fluid to vary its density when it passes through the machine) and hydraulic machines (It is a type of fluid machine that is guided by the properties of incompressible fluids).
Locomotive
On the other hand, the concept is used as a synonym for locomotive, which is that machine precisely, that it is mounted on wheels and has the mission of dragging the wagons that make up a train.
Trains are very important means of public transport for citizens since it facilitates the transfer to long, medium and short distances, and also the transfer of goods. }
Electrical devices that offer services or products after placing money on them
Also to those electronic type devices that work by placing money on them and in this way offer a product and a service.
For example, a coffee machine allows us to buy this drink after entering the cost of it, Normally, you can choose between different coffee options and choose the amount of sugar that we want to add to the drink.
The washing machines that are installed in the laundrys work by placing money on them.
Once the established amount is correctly entered, the machine will wash the garments.
The Industrial Revolution and the introduction of the machine change all the current schemes in terms of production
Machines occupy an important place in history and in the evolution that they favored especially in the field of industry.
The Industrial Revolution that occurred in England in the nineteenth century marked a before and after in terms of economic growth after years of stagnation in this sense, as a consequence of the possibility of modifying the conditions of production.
And the steam engine, which relied on natural energy instead of human energy, involved mass consumption and gave way to the creation of the first factories.
The use of the machine in land and maritime transport had a positive impact on the commercializationAs well as the subsequent appearance of the railroad, which undoubtedly marked a boom in terms of communications.
On the other hand everything, this process produced so many consequences and transformations that changed the uses and traditions, including urban growth, and the development of public works and services.
There are also popular expressions that contain this word such is the case of a machine and all machine, which are used to refer that something is assisted by devices and when something is done very fast, full velocity, respectively.
