 * costs less than fossil-fuel engine
 * has a long life
 * low maintenance requirements
 * high efficiency
 * no fuel needed (electric motor)
 * less pollution then fossil fuel motor

Disadvantages

 * pollution
 * expensive line extension needed in remote places where electric power is not available
 * speed control

**Uses of Motors**

 * used to reduce physical labor in homes
 * used for transportation (cars, trains, buses, etc.)
 * used for generating electricity
 * used in air conditioners[[image:http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTiaWSmvfOgnIiG_bpGMhXX5cA66UoTTToBgkoLmRC0wcDdfZk6zg:upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Michael_Faraday_Millikan-Gale-1906.jpg align="right" caption="Michael Faraday (Google Images)"]]
 * used in electronics such as computers and printers

History of Motors

 * The creators of the AC motor are Tomas Davenport, Emily Davenport, William Sturgeon, and Michael Faraday.
 * William Ritchie and Hippolyte Pixii created the commutator segment in 1832.

Personal Experiences
Sahil:

My personal experience with a motor was when I used a motor in the car. The motor turned the wheels to get me transported from one place to another; the horn alerts people, ect. So basically I use a motor whenever I need to be transported.

Andrew: My personal experiences with a motor was when I went on a boat. The motor moves the propeller which spins. It pushes the water and the boat starts to move.

Neelay: I have many personal experiences with motors each and every day, from waking up in the morning to getting from one side of the world to the other. When I wake up in the morning, my vibrating alarm clock wakes me up. There is a tiny motor inside the clock that when turned on, vibrates. When I brush my teeth, there is a small motor insode my electric toothbrush that rotates the bristels on the brush. When I get on the bus to got to or come from school, a motor in the bottom of the bus turns the wheels to get there. Say it's a hot day, a motor in a fan spins a blade creating cool air. If the power ever goes out, a generator helps to create power because there is a motor inside of it. Maybe I decide to get some Chinese food but when it gets to my house it is cold, a micro wave helps. A motor in the microwave rotates a plate when you put food on it. On a plane, there is a motor on the wings that spins a propellor and makes the plane fly. media type="youtube" key="j_Q2cmOCa7w" height="283" width="560" align="right"
