Difference between Engine and Locomotive

Engine vs. Locomotive

An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy. A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train.

Alternating current

Alternating current (AC) is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, in contrast to direct current (DC) which flows only in one direction.

Diesel engine

The diesel engine (also known as a compression-ignition or CI engine), named after Rudolf Diesel, is an internal combustion engine in which ignition of the fuel which is injected into the combustion chamber is caused by the elevated temperature of the air in the cylinder due to mechanical compression (adiabatic compression).
