Why We Use Electric Motors

Submarines use electric motors for two purposes.

Why we use electric motors.

The motor being dissected here is a simple electric motor that you would typically find in a toy. Some electric motors are even self starters for greater ease of use. Electric motors can be powered by direct current dc sources such as from batteries motor vehicles. Electric motors contain relatively few moving parts and can operate for anything up to 30 000 hours or around 3 1 2 years without needing any major repairs.

From the outside you can see the steel can that forms the body of the motor an axle a nylon end cap and two battery leads. Plug in electric vehicles also known as electric cars or evs are connected fun and practical. Refrigerators vacuum cleaners air conditioners fans computer hard drives automatic car windows and multitudes of other appliances and devices all use electric motors to convert electrical energy into useful mechanical energy. On the surface they are used to generate electricity for the ship while when submerged the electric motors are powered by batteries.

Fueling with electricity offers some advantages not available in conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. Electric motors impact almost every aspect of modern living. They can reduce emissions and even save you money. You can see that this is a small motor about as big around as a dime.
