Motor vs. Engines

[DX Rick]

I have had a few people ask which "motor" is in my car.

I was always told MOTORS are powered by electricity and ENGINES are powered by combustable fuels.


Isn't this correct?

That's why the FE ticket is called Reciprocating Engine, not Reciprocating Motor.

Thats generally accepted, but I watched a show on the history channel about this, and there are all kinds of debates about it.

For example as listed above Ford Motor Comapany, and why is Detroit known as Motor City and not Engine City?
