| Summary | "Motors" by J. S. Zerbe is an educational work intended for young readers, likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as part of "Every Boy's Mechanical Library" and aims to provide an accessible understanding of various motor types, including steam engines, internal combustion engines, and the principles of energy and mechanics that govern them. Its detailed illustrations and clear explanations make it suitable for any boy interested in learning about the mechanics behind the machines that power our world. The opening of "Motors" introduces readers to the concept of motors as essential sources of energy used in various industrial applications. It emphasizes the inquisitive nature of boys and how this book seeks to cater to their curiosity about how machines operate. The author aims to demystify complicated terminology and theories of energy through simple explanations and relatable examples. Early chapters delve into topics such as potential and kinetic energy, friction, resistance, and the relationship between motion and power, setting a strong foundation for understanding more complex mechanisms later in the book.
