Motors ​ by Fady, Justin, and James

History
 * Michael Faraday- inventor of the electric motor in the 1830's. Discovered it by using magnets and experimenting with them.He realized that moving wires could reverse the electric current flow. That discovery helped him be able to make
 * electric motors and generators.

Anyos Jedik made the electric motor in the first ever kind of car similar to Michael Faraday's invention of the electric motor.





Later, Joseph Henry built an improved motor based on Faraday's design. Uses Motors are used in lots of things we use every day. Without motors, these things would not exist. These things include:
 * Fans
 * Power tools
 * Disk drives
 * Cars and other forms of transportation
 * lawn mowers
 * refrigerators
 * and many more...

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Motor  Advantages:
 * They last long
 * High effenciency
 * Controlled Automatically

Disadvantages: Personal Experiences: Fady: On a hot summer day, I moved the lawn. I was able to do this easily because the lawn mower has a motor inside that helps me push it easily and cut the grass with ease. James: Sometimes on vacations, I take long car rides in the summer. Without motors, my car would not be able to run. We would not be able to travel around. Justin: Last summer, I rode on my dad's motorcycle. The motorcycle has a motor which helps it move really fast.
