The efforts of the two did much to further electrical engineering — Tesla's work on induction motors and polyphase systems influenced the field for years to come, while Edison's work on telegraphy and his development of the stock ticker proved lucrative for his company, which ultimately became General Electric.

Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, pneumatic motors use compressed air and others, such as clockwork motors in wind-up toys use elastic energy.

Electric motors can be run as generators and vice versa, although this is not always practical.

Electric motors are ubiquitous, being found in applications as diverse as industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools, and disk drives.

Electric motors may be classified by the source of electric power, by their internal construction, and by their application.

Electric motors of increasing efficiency were constructed throughout the 19th century, but commercial exploitation of electric motors on a large scale required efficient electrical generators and electrical distribution networks.

Electric motors need overcurrent protection to prevent damage from over-loading the motor, or to protect against short circuits in connecting cables or internal faults in the motor windings.

The use of electricity alone to power boats stagnated apart from their outboard use as trolling motors until the Duffy Electric Boat Company of California started mass producing small electric craft in 1968.

Then, in a deal with General Electric, which Edison had been forced to sell, Westinghouse's company went on to construct the Adams Power Plant at the Niagara Falls, with three 5, 000 horsepower ( 3. 7 MW ) Tesla generators supplying electricity to an aluminium smelter at Niagara and the town of Buffalo 22 miles ( 35 km ) away.

Electric traction allows the use of regenerative braking, in which the motors are used as brakes and become generators that transform the motion of, usually, a train into electrical power that is then fed back into the lines.

Of the new turbines and generators, three 600 MW units were built by Westinghouse and three 700 MW units by General Electric.

Electric traction allows the use of regenerative braking, in which the motors are used as brakes and become generators that transform the motion of the train into electrical power that is then fed back into the lines.

The Manx Electric Railway was constructed in 1893 and in the early 20th century Lower Onchan, around the Port Jack area, was the first area on the island to have electric-powered street lighting, powered by the Manx Electric Railway generators.

A first, was that the locomotives were purchased under a service contract, English Electric agreeing to maintain them, including their engines and generators, for a fixed price.

After earning a degree in electrical engineering from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1909, he joined the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, where eventually he supervised the engineering of automobile electrical equipment, and during World War I, the development of dynamotors and radio generators for the Army and Navy.

Paine resigned from NASA September 15, 1970, to return to the General Electric Co. in New York City as Vice President and Group Executive, Power Generation Group, ( worldwide ship propulsion, nuclear power and steam and gas turbine generators ), and later became Senior Vice President for Science and Technology ( oversight of GE's research and development ).

Electric transmissions convert the mechanical power of the engine ( s ) to electricity with electric generators and convert it back to mechanical power with electric motors.

* Electric fish – navigation, communication, Jamming Avoidance Response ( JAR ), corollary discharge, expectation generators, and spike timing dependent plasticity

He did not abandon his electrical pursuits, experimenting with electric lighting, electric generators and electric motors, and eventually forming the Van Depoele Electric Manufacturing Company.
